Finally replacing my mom's iPad 2017, because the battery cycled over 1000 times and no longer able to hold up charges for more than 2 hours. Bought the base model iPad air m2 for my mom at 12.12 at RM1873.68, I saw the machines price RM1850 at laz before 12.12. I thought it can go lower than that, but it didn't. End up bought it from senheng laz and took around 6 days to ship it. After comparing 10th gen iPad and the price of 10th Gen, 256gb is around 200+ cheaper than m2 air, I don't think is the best value since the chip is already couple of years old.

now her iPad 2017 will pass down to me as an ebook reader, will replace the battery soon.
iPad 2 is now my nephew gaming device, iOS 6.1.3, 64GB fully loaded with all games.

iPad 2 (Queued and bought it during MY launched day, 2011)

Yea, replace the battery on iPad 2 couple of years ago still holding up great. Standby can last almost a month. Last time bought the 2 batteries from cell care.
iphone 4s battery, it became spicy pillow early this year, but iPad battery still holding up fine.

Where did you source the battery for your ipad?

Ic, this round I'm getting the iPad battery directly from China.
High capacity battery with Texas instrument chip for the BMS.
with shipment should be around RM60
