What Is the iPad Air 4/5 A2288 Replacement Battery?
The iPad Air 4/5 A2288 replacement battery is a rechargeable internal battery developed for compatible iPad Air 4th and 5th generation repair and refurbishment applications.
Both device generations use a 28.6Wh original battery system. The ESC A2288 replacement battery is declared at 3.83V and 7606mAh, equivalent to approximately 29.13Wh of nominal energy based on the stated voltage and capacity.
After extended charging, discharging and storage, the original tablet battery may gradually lose usable capacity and develop higher internal resistance.
Common battery-related symptoms may include:
· Shorter operating time between charges
· Rapid battery-percentage loss
· Poor charge retention
· Unexpected shutdown
· Reduced runtime under video, gaming or higher processor load
· The iPad operating while connected to power but shutting down soon after disconnection
A correctly matched replacement battery can restore usable battery-powered operation when the original problem is caused by battery degradation.
However, replacing the battery cannot repair faults involving the USB-C charging port, charging circuit, logic board or other internal components.
As an iPad Air battery supplier and OEM iPad battery manufacturer, ESC supplies A2288 replacement batteries for repair centers, refurbishment companies, wholesalers, distributors and private-label battery businesses.
Before ordering, buyers should verify the exact iPad generation, device model number, battery structure, connector, polarity and physical dimensions.

The ESC A2288 replacement battery is developed for compatible iPad Air 4th generation repair applications.
Supported device model references include A2316, A2324, A2325 and A2072. The original battery structure, connector and physical dimensions should still be verified before ordering.
2. Is this battery compatible with the iPad Air 5th generation?
The ESC A2288 is also intended for compatible iPad Air 5th generation repair applications.
Device model references include A2588, A2589 and A2591. Compatibility should be confirmed before sample or bulk purchasing.
3. What is A2288?
A2288 is used by ESC as the product reference for this replacement battery.
It should not be confused with the Apple model numbers used to identify the actual iPad device. The exact iPad generation and device model number should always be confirmed separately.
4. What are the ESC battery specifications?
The ESC replacement battery is declared at 3.83V and 7606mAh.
Based on these values, the calculated nominal energy is approximately 29.13Wh.
5. Why does Apple specify 28.6Wh while ESC lists the battery in mAh?
