Apple still offers a Apple iPad Air 3 battery replacement service for the iPad Air 3 (until 2024/2025).
Apple’s “battery replacement” actually replaces the entire refurbished iPad (excluding the back cover and some parts), hence the higher price.
1. Official Apple Battery Service (Highest Recommendation, if your budget allows)
Process: Schedule an appointment at an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
A technician will run diagnostics to confirm that theApple iPad Air 3 battery capacity is below 80% of its original specifications or is faulty.
After payment, you will typically receive an officially refurbished iPad of the same model, color, and storage capacity, with a brand new casing and battery, and a 90-day new warranty.
Reliability and Quality: Get performance equivalent to a new device and official parts. Additional Benefits: Resolves other potential minor issues (such as speaker or microphone malfunctions).
2. Third-Party Professional Repair Shop (Most Economical and Common Option)
Process: The repair technician will physically disassemble the iPad, remove the old battery (heating is required to soften the adhesive), and install the new Apple iPad Air 3 battery. The entire process takes approximately 1-2 hours.
No Official Warranty: A shop warranty (e.g., 3-6 months) is usually provided, but once you leave the shop, Apple will refuse to provide any after-sales service for this device. Potential Functional Loss: After a non-official repair, the Apple iPad Air 3 battery Health” information may not display correctly.
3. DIY Replacement (For Experienced DIY Enthusiasts Only) Purchase a battery kit and tools, professional heating tools (such as heating pads and heat guns), and precision tools such as suction cups and pry tools. A great deal of patience, steady hands, and watching detailed tutorial videos (iFixit’s guide is recommended). Risk: Extremely High. It is highly likely that the expensive display will be permanently damaged during disassembly, with replacement costs far exceeding the iPad Air 3 battery itself. Other internal damage may also be caused.
Decision Guide: How Should You Choose? Current Value of the iPad: A well-maintained iPad Air 3 has a resale value of approximately 1200-2000 RMB. Is an official replacement costing 809 RMB worthwhile? Your Usage: If you only use it for watching videos and browsing the web, a third-party replacement may be sufficient. If you need to use it intensively and reliably for many years, official service offers greater peace of mind. Data Importance: Official replacement will erase your data; you must back it up. Final Recommendation: First Choice: If your budget allows, Apple’s official service is the most worry-free and reliable option. Second Choice: If you are looking for value for money, take the time to find a reputable local third-party repair shop that offers at least a 6-month warranty and specifically inquire about the brand and capacity of the battery used.
Final Consideration: Unless you are a professional repair technician, it is strongly advised against replacing the iPad Air 3 battery yourself.
