My ipad 2 won't hold a charge anymore. What can I do?

My ipad 2 won't hold a charge anymore. I'll charge it up, get it to 100%, unplug it and shortly after wards, it's drained down. What can I do?

Batteries eventually fail, and it sounds like that's happened with your iPad. You'll need to take or send it Apple to get the battery replaced. See:

  • My iPad won't hold a charge ---any ideas?

    My iPad won't hold a charge.  It even loses battery while it is on the charge. Any ideas???

    Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon.  The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
    Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight.  Admittedly the labeling is hard to read but, if you use a magnifier and squint your eyes, you'll see "Output 5.1V, 2.1A."  The symbol between volts and amps is the symbol for DC.  Do NOT use an iPhone charger.  Do NOT use an iPod charger.  Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear).  An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the exact procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
    I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem.  I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a battery problem exists.
    According to Apple:
    Use Your iPad Regularly
    For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
    Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

  • TS3274 My ipad won't hold a charge for very long.

    Just recently my ipad quit holding a charge. What used to last me all day has turned into only a couple of hours. Is there a setting or something I can change to regain the charge I once had. My I pad is only a couple of months old.

    Try turning off the following:
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Push>OFF
    Settings>Notifications>Mail>Gmail>Notification Center>OFF
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Fetch New Data>Off

  • Just tried to update iOS 7 to my Ipad two then it went black and it seems to be locked up, and it won't hold a charge. What do I do?

    I have been having trouble with my iPad 2 lately. I went and down loaded iOS 7 and installed it. Then when I came back it showed the low battery so I figured that the update just drained my battery. I plugged it into the charger and after a while it just showed the apple logo. Then when I came back to look at it it again was showing low battery even though it was on the charger the whole time. It seems to be stuck in a cycle of low battery and the apple logo, and it just can't seem to break that cycle. I need all the help I can get. Any suggestions?

    Did you ever get a solution from anyone about your charging issue?

    Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

    my iPad 1 won't hold a charge for very long and will only fully charge when turned off while plugged in. Will a full reset fix this?

    maybe but
    most likely no
    if you have many apps running and using data and localization at the same time yes maybe
    but batteries get worse and worse and worse over time until they die a software reset will not change that

  • My ipod touch won't hold a charge and gets really hot when im using it. what is going on?

    my ipod touch won't hold a charge and gets really hot when im using it. what is going on?

    Likely that the battery is dead.  I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to confirm. Apple will replace the battery for this price:
    Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
    There are third-party places which may be less expensive.  Here is one. Google for more.

  • HT201569 iPod Touch Will not hold a charge anymore

    5th ten touch will not hold a charge anymore. Where is the  best place to get it fixed?

    If only the battery is bad, Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $79. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price                                    
    A third-party place like the following will replace your battery for less. Google for more.
    iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens         
    Replace the battery yourself if you are up to it. A replacement battery costs a $20
