Coconut battery on a Mac or the analytics log.

I followed a site to get the log but it is not available on my iPad. Is there an site with more correct information?
Also, for Coconut battery, isn't it just provide a frustrated estimate?

I followed this guide a couple of weeks ago and it worked for my M1 12.9 Pro:

Your iPad has a hidden battery health feature — here’s how to check it

Apple hasn't given iPads a Battery Health feature yet — but this is how you can check anyway

Thanks. In step 2, why I need to wait for a day or two when the data has been recorded? When I clicked on Share iPad Analytics, the top three files start with "analyticsd.diskwrites_resoiurce-2024". There is no "Analystics-year-month-day-time.ips.ca.synced" yet.

You may need to give it a day or so for the file to appear I think. It's really a pain!

It typically appears when my iPad syncs overnight, I believe.

iMazing is a macOS utility app that is designed to work with iPhones and iPads via USB cable or WiFi. Whlle it does a myriad of tasks, it will display battery health quickly.

Both MaximumCapacityPercent and the calculation indicated 86%. Does that mean I will need to replace the battery soon?

Great app. It's also on Windows (where I use it).

No, not necessarily. Depends on how you use your iPad. My iPad mini (5th Gen) has 81% battery health and still lasts most of the day.

I thought this feature was coming to iPads in iPadOS 17.5.

Use Coconut Battery on a Mac. Attach your iPad and open iOS device section on the Coconut Battery app. It shows battery health and cycle count.

Coconut Battery on macOS and 3uTools on Windows. Both will tell you battery health and Charge Cycles. Both are free tools.
