That's the thing,

Battery quality varies greatly especially not original.

I specifically mentioned cellcare or miifix, there are some others that are decent too.

Bad battery quality usually you cant see battery health, also battery heat up fast and bottle neck like crazy, also lifespan is pretty bad.

you can easily search cellcare in lowyat, many recommended it before,

Cellcare and miifix is same store btw.

For reviews just check shopee on cellcare, they sell spare parts there.


P.S : im not gaining any profit, just a diy phone repair lol. Personally bought over 10 batteries and screen from them, problems are usually minimal or none.

If you're in Subang, can try B & S Spare parts @ square. If it's battery only ok, other issue he might cut throat you and say motherboard issue or sth.

buy new one nia

sooner or later a lot of app will discountinue support on old iOS and new iOS version may not support old device

RM500 is way too expensive for a battery. For sure can find cheaper alternative but apple is very anal about non original parts. If Samsung or Huawei then ok but Apple maybe get complications later.

Trade in and get new better.

if iPad is for ur work which means it will be long term, since 2017 - 2022 is 5 years apart already.
You might need to think about the APP support in future, some app might not be able to run if the new IOS is not support for older version of iPad. Well you still can purchase at that time when it is not support anymore, since you mentioned it is still buttery smooth.

Worth upgrade or not, nv used prev M1 before. But I would say you better go test it for urself on the new M2 iPad

You're right. the reason for the purchase is also for accounting purpose to replace the old device for tax .

Will try it out at the apple store.

they will not.

outside shops selling the replacement batteries all wont last as long as the original one

and 500+ is abit high.. survey other places

If company cover, just buy new

replace battery only

this 10.5 is legend, probably can tahan lagi 1 or 2 years more

If I'm not mistaken, Apple authorized service centres don't offer battery replacement service for iPads.

What about self repair program? How much is it

Are you serious? Show me a 2017 tablet that can last another 3 years from today. Bet you 2 years ago already kaputting.

I think only singapore has original apple battery replacement by apple, i dont think malaysia has replacement for ipad yet. If you are paying rm500, make sure its truely genuine.
If got malaysia link please share tyvm.

BTW sg link for apple estimation cost: https://support.apple.com/en-sg/ipad/repair

Same here, as far as i know, Malaysia not yet have but singapore seems to have it.
