I checked my iPads battery health by using an app on a windows 10 or 11 PC
Do you have a Mac or windows computer ?

Tried several of the apps there but they just gave current percentages which I can see in settings ….battery on my ipad
Think i used this iMazing app on my windows computer to check my ipads battery health,
There a Mac version of this app as well
iMazing | iPhone, iPad & iPod Manager for Mac & PC
iMazing lets you transfer music, files, messages, apps and more from any iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer, Mac or PC. Manage and backup your iOS device simply without iTunes. (was DiskAid)

As you have a MacBook Air you can use coconut battery to show battery health for the iPad.
Thanks I have heard of Coconut but not the imaging one. I,lol try it didn’t realise you
needed to use a Mac computer to use it as I thought i5 would be on the ipad
Someone on reddit found out how without using any 3rd party app
This ist wild, thank you for that Reddit!
@OP: I use the app “battery health 3” for that purpose, but the app isn’t free. The purchase was €10 but I felt it worth the money. My sister uses “coconut battery” which has a free version. Both on Mac.
Thanks NC12 just found it but it says 107 for percent - how can it be more than 100% ?.
That was also answered on the reddit post since I myself had 105%. Turns out with the shipping shortage apple used higher spec batteries than the device called for. So some devices have a higher capacity than they should
I've had devices come from Apple (out of box) - 96%-108%. It's a lottery but it may be why some people stay at 100% battery health for years too.
Another useful item:
<key>com.apple.power.battery.CycleCount</key>
<integer>302</integer>
btw, this is full aggregated cycles. 302 full cycles is what my 2018 iPad Pro has accumulated in 2 years of daily usage. (Discharging from 100% to 50% and charging back up from 50% to 100% counts as half a cycle). Mine is now at 94% capacity:
<key>com.apple.power.battery.MaximumCapacityPercent</key>
<integer>94</integer>
My old MBPro retina from 2014 had 108% capacity when it was new. The system only showed 100% but 3rd party apps read the higher number.
most likely he wrote that on his cellphone and it was misspelled...
Nevermind I was he replied already, it was from an iPad
Interest downloads Coconut Battery and paid £9.95 for Plus version which lets me see iOS devices battery health and it says 100% fir battery health yet the information in the iPad activity gives it as 107% - guess its still I good health and I discovered the 11 inch iPad Pro was made in March 2021 plus a ton of other information - Guess I could have saved myself £9.95 if I'd just left it using the iOS activity data - still these things bugs one to find out more !most likely he wrote that on his cellphone and it was misspelled...

Thanks everyone for al suggestions
I've been using coconutBattery for years and years and years. Great device. I can see the battery history of all my devices. Absolutely love it. I use it as my primary battery status on the menu bar? at the top.
Finding it the other way is cumbersome. But then again, I love looking at battery stats (probably way too much).

I’m convinced my iPad Pro 10.5 (2017) battery is knackered so I’ve been trying to determine it’s health.
Coconut Battery says it is poor, 34% (??)
The log file method above says it is 80%
The diagnostic tool run at the Apple store says it is 84%
I think I’m just going to pay for a battery replacement but it’s clear there isn’t a definitive way of finding out the true battery health

Thanks for this. My parents are getting a new iPad in the mail soon, but trying to figure out their 9.7" iPad Pro Gen 1 battery health so I can take into Apple and get battery replaced/refurb.
Sounds like the log file is about in the ballpark.
