The A1445 professional replacement reference is 3.72V / 4440mAh / 16.5Wh, while Apple publishes 16.3Wh for the original iPad mini device battery system.
What Is the iPad mini 1 A1445 Replacement Battery?
The iPad mini 1 A1445 replacement battery is a rechargeable lithium-polymer battery developed for compatible first-generation iPad mini repair and refurbishment projects.
The target device family includes:
· A1432 — iPad mini Wi-Fi
· A1454 — iPad mini Wi-Fi + Cellular
· A1455 — iPad mini Wi-Fi + Cellular (MM)
Apple identifies these models as the original iPad mini family released in late 2012. Apple publishes a 16.3Wh built-in rechargeable lithium-polymer battery for the device, while the professional A1445 replacement reference is 3.72V, 4440mAh and 16.5Wh. These figures are closely related but should remain clearly separated as a device-level specification and a replacement-battery specification.
After extended charging, discharging and storage, an 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 during video or application use
· The iPad operating while connected to power but shutting down after disconnection
A correctly matched replacement battery can restore usable battery-powered operation when the problem is caused by battery degradation.
Battery replacement cannot repair faults involving the Lightning connector, charging circuit, logic board, display power system or other internal components.
As an iPad mini 1 battery supplier, A1445 battery manufacturer and OEM iPad battery manufacturer, ESC supplies replacement batteries for repair centers, refurbishment companies, wholesalers, distributors and private-label battery brands.
Before ordering, buyers should verify the exact device model, original battery configuration and physical compatibility.
Key Features
1. Correct A1445 Battery Platform
A1445 is the replacement-battery model associated with the original iPad mini platform. It provides professional buyers with a precise battery identifier rather than relying only on the generic term “iPad mini battery.”
2. 4440mAh Device-Specific Capacity
The A1445 replacement battery is technically referenced at 4440mAh and 3.72V, corresponding to 16.5Wh. The 4440mAh capacity currently shown on the ESC page is therefore consistent with the professional A1445 replacement reference.
3. Compatible with Three Official Device Models
The battery platform is compatible with the first-generation iPad mini device family, including A1432, A1454 and A1455, subject to final physical configuration verification.
4. Compatibility-Focused Quality Control
Voltage, capacity, internal resistance, connector configuration and physical battery structure are checked according to the approved product specification.
5. OEM and Wholesale Supply
ESC supports samples, mixed-model purchasing, customized battery labels, barcode labels, private packaging and bulk supply for professional repair, refurbishment and replacement-parts businesses.

Apple publishes 16.3Wh for the original iPad mini battery system, while the professional A1445 replacement specification is 3.72V / 4440mAh / 16.5Wh. The 0.2Wh difference should not automatically be marketed as guaranteed higher capacity or longer runtime.
Important Comparison Notice
The ESC battery is a compatible replacement product and is not manufactured, endorsed or authorized by Apple.
A new replacement battery may improve battery-related runtime and stability when the original battery has degraded. It cannot repair faults involving the logic board, Lightning connector, charging circuit, display system or other internal components.
Actual operating time depends on:
· Screen brightness
· Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity
· Video playback
· Applications and processor load
· Battery temperature
· Charging-circuit condition
· Overall device condition
Apple publishes up to 10 hours of Wi-Fi web browsing, video playback or audio playback under defined test conditions, but this should not be presented as guaranteed replacement-battery runtime.
Customer FAQ
1. Is the A1445 battery compatible with the first-generation iPad mini?
Yes. The A1445 replacement battery is associated with the original iPad mini platform.
The official device model numbers are A1432, A1454 and A1455. The original battery structure and physical configuration should still be confirmed before ordering.
2. What is A1445?
A1445 is the battery model reference associated with the first-generation iPad mini replacement-battery platform.
It should not be confused with the official device model numbers A1432, A1454 and A1455.
3. What are the A1445 battery specifications?
The professional A1445 replacement reference is:
· 3.72V nominal voltage
· 4440mAh capacity
· 16.5Wh energy
The final ESC website specification should still match the actual production battery label, BOM and approved sample.
4. Is the current ESC 4440mAh capacity correct?
The current ESC page lists 4440mAh, and the professional A1445 replacement reference also lists 4440mAh.
Therefore, the capacity is consistent with the established A1445 battery platform and does not need to be replaced merely to match another generic tablet specification.
5. Why should the current ESC 3.81V specification be verified?
The current ESC page lists 3.81V, while the professional A1445 replacement reference specifies 3.72V.
At 4440mAh, 3.72V corresponds closely to the 16.5Wh A1445 replacement reference, while 3.81V would calculate to approximately 16.92Wh. The final live value should therefore follow the actual ESC production battery label and BOM.
6. Why does Apple specify 16.3Wh while the A1445 replacement battery is listed at 16.5Wh?
Apple publishes a 16.3Wh device-level battery specification for the original iPad mini, while the professional A1445 replacement reference is 16.5Wh.
The small difference may reflect rating and rounding conventions. It should not automatically be promoted as longer operating time.
7. Is A1445 compatible with the iPad mini 2 or iPad mini 3?
No compatibility should be assumed.
Later iPad mini generations use different device platforms and may use different battery specifications, structures and connectors. Battery selection should be based on the exact device model and original battery configuration.
8. Will replacing the A1445 battery fix every charging or shutdown problem?
No.
Battery replacement may address problems caused by battery degradation, including reduced runtime, poor charge retention or battery-related shutdown. It cannot repair faults involving the Lightning connector, charging circuit, logic board or other internal components.
9. Can I order samples and customize the battery packaging?
Yes.
ESC supports sample evaluation and OEM services including customized battery labels and packaging. Exact sample terms, MOQ and packaging options should be confirmed according to the model mix and order requirements because the current page contains inconsistent MOQ information.
10. Which documents and shipping support can ESC provide?
CE, RoHS, MSDS, UN38.3 and other applicable battery documents may be available according to the exact A1445 SKU file and production configuration.
Customers should confirm the required documentation, destination country and shipping method before ordering rather than assuming that every certification listed on a general product template applies to this exact battery model.
