Battery problems(probably)

Your iPad's battery is in excellent condition; at 98%, it is ageing better than expected. With 209 charge cycles recorded (as indicated in your screenshot), you might actually expect to see an indicated battery health in the region of 94-95%.

"Battery health" is influenced by many factors.

An iPad battery is nominally rated to retain 80% of its original capacity (when new) after 1000 full recharge cycles. Any combination of charging that together sums to 100% equates to one full charge cycle (e.g., 50% + 20% + 20% + 10% = 100% = 1 full charge cycle).

An iPad's battery is rated to retain at least 80% of its original capacity after 1000 full charge cycles - one full cycle being any combination of charging that together sums to 100% (e.g. 50 + 25 + 15 + 10 = 100 = 1 cycle). Simple arithmetic would therefore suggest that battery health will decline at about 1% for each 50 charge cycles - but this alone does not take into account that the rate of decline is non-linear.

Other factors can influence overall battery health. High ambient temperatures can permanently reduce the battery's ability to retain full charge - as can maintaining the battery at 100% charge for very long periods of time that leads to chemical aging of the battery. Limiting the battery charge to ~80% of maximum is intended to reduce the chemical aging effect. That said, independent studies have demonstrated that restricting charging to only 80% of maximum has little if any impact upon the overall longevity of the iPad's battery.

For reassurance, if you have any concerns for your iPad or its Battery Health, you would be well advised to seek assistance directly from Apple Support - and request a remote diagnostic test of your iPad. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page.

Alternatively, you can initiate and manage your support cases from Apple devices using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

Please stop worrying about your battery health. It’s perfectly normal. You do not have battery problems! I hope you know your battery won’t last forever. Batteries are consumable and do not degrade in a linear way.

This no different than your flashlight batteries. Eventually they will have to be replaced. So stop worrying.

The battery won't last as long in terms of daily use if you only charge to 80% but its overall health and lifetime will be better. If you are running your battery down to below 10% on a daily basis then that will reduce the battery health. If your daily use is that heavy then you might want to invest in a power bank for your phone.

For example, at the end of a typical day my iPhone is rarely below 50% but I still put it on charge overnight, every night.

You should turn on the 80% limit. This will prolong the life of your battery.
