Now on 2nd new battery and no difference. Service bloke (not Apple specialist) says it is a mainboard issue but not being specific. Is there a simple way to test the mainboard.
Am hoping he isn't putting dud batteries in - both seem not to have made any improvement.
Any suggestions most welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Perhaps I wasn't sufficiently clear...
Diagnostic software with which to test your iPad is not available outside of Apple - and Apple will now not assist with your iPad. As such, there is very little that you can do with the iPad other than to consider its replacement.
If your independent repairer is unable to resolve the problem, your only viable options are to live with what you have, or replace it.
Having used an independent repair shop to replace your iPad battery, you have forfeited all assistance and diagnostic support from Apple. Unfortunately, you are now very much on your own.
Your only option is to return to whoever replaced your iPad battery.
Thanks but not helpful really. As implied in my post, I did take it back but the replacement battery (if indeed it was truly such) was no better.
It would be useful if I could determine if a main board test is viable without removing it.
Thanks anyway
Thanks
New battery in iPad mini 4 is draining just as fast as old one - lasts barely 2 hours of ordinary browsing
