iPad mini iPad mini 4 battery issue maybe when cold.

[Arnezie]

Ok so my daughters iPad mini 4 is having an issue. We will leave it in the car for less than an hour with outside temps around 36-39 degrees F and it will be shut off showing the dead battery symbol. So go to plug it in knowing it’s not dead and it comes back on and will show anywhere from 9%to 65% right at start up. So my question is what’s going on ? Is the battery going bad? It never did this before a couple weeks ago. How do I test it to see if it’s the battery?

Probably going bad, but cold weather is not good for any type of lithium ion battery.

You can have it tested at an Apple Store I believe. If the battery needs replacement they can get that on the way for you too.

It sounds like your daughters iPad mini 4 is on the brink of dying.

The battery is on the brink right ? Is there any battery testing I can do myself ?

You could use a battery diagnostic tool.
