* - time indicated solely refers to actual general diagnostic & repair time of this repair. Repair time may vary due to work load, availability of parts, or other unforeseen circumstances.

The internal rechargeable battery of the iPods, iPads and iPhones are not user-replaceable.

Apple designs the battery to retain at least 80% of its original capacity after 400-500 full recharge cycles which is the characteristic of Li-ion Polymer Battery. You can estimate under 2 years of usage before the battery needs to be changed.

As such, in the event that the battery is not performing well or faulty, you will need to send to a certified technician to get it changed.
