Apple publishes a 29.37Wh built-in rechargeable lithium-polymer battery for the complete device. The professional A2042 replacement reference is 3.77V, 7812mAh and 29.45Wh. These figures should be presented separately rather than described as identical.
What Is the A2042 iPad Pro 11 Replacement Battery?
The A2042 is a rechargeable lithium-polymer replacement battery developed for compatible 2018 iPad Pro 11-inch first-generation tablets.
The validated product relationship is:
iPad Pro 11-Inch 1st Generation
→ Released in 2018
→ Device Models A1980 / A2013 / A1934 / A1979
→ A2042 Replacement Battery
→ 3.77V
→ 7812mAh
→ 29.45Wh
Apple officially publishes a 29.37Wh built-in lithium-polymer battery for this device family. The professional replacement-battery reference lists A2042 at 3.77V, 7812mAh and 29.45Wh. The small difference between 29.37Wh and 29.45Wh may reflect battery-label and rating conventions and should not be marketed as guaranteed additional runtime.
An aged iPad battery may cause:
· Reduced operating time
· Rapid battery-percentage reduction
· Poor charge retention
· Unexpected shutdown
· Failure to power on after storage
· Operation only while connected to power
· Unstable performance under higher device load
· Abnormal charging behavior
A correctly matched replacement battery may improve battery-powered operation when degradation of the original battery is the cause of the problem.
Battery replacement cannot repair faults involving the USB-C connector, charging circuit, logic board, display, power-management components or other internal electronics.
As an iPad Pro 11 battery supplier, A2042 battery manufacturer and wholesale iPad Pro battery supplier, ESC supplies this model for professional repair, refurbishment, distribution and private-label battery programs.

Important Comparison Notice
The ESC A2042 battery is a compatible replacement product and is not manufactured, authorized, endorsed or sold by Apple.
A replacement battery may improve battery-related runtime and stability when the original battery has degraded. It cannot repair problems involving the USB-C connector, charging circuit, logic board, display or other electronic components.
Customer FAQ
1. What is the A2042 battery?
A2042 is a replacement-battery reference for compatible 2018 iPad Pro 11-inch first-generation tablets.
2. Which iPad models are compatible with A2042?
The target device models are A1980, A2013, A1934 and A1979. Apple officially identifies all four as members of the 2018 iPad Pro 11-inch family.
3. What are the correct A2042 battery specifications?
The established professional replacement specification is:
· 3.77V nominal voltage
· 7812mAh rated capacity
· 29.45Wh nominal energy
· Lithium-polymer battery chemistry
The final ESC specification must match the physical production label and approved BOM.
4. Why should the current 4000mAh specification be removed?
A 3.87V 4000mAh battery equals approximately 15.48Wh, while Apple officially specifies a 29.37Wh battery for the device. The current 4000mAh figure is therefore inconsistent with the actual battery platform.
5. Why does Apple state 29.37Wh while A2042 is listed at 29.45Wh?
Apple publishes 29.37Wh for the complete device, while the professional A2042 replacement reference states 29.45Wh. The small difference may reflect label-rating and rounding conventions and should not be marketed as guaranteed additional capacity.
6. Is A2042 compatible with later iPad Pro 11-inch generations?
No. Later 11-inch generations use different battery platforms and internal structures. Compatibility must be confirmed by the exact device model and original battery reference.
7. Will replacing the battery restore the original runtime?
A correctly matched replacement battery may improve runtime when the original battery has degraded. Actual runtime depends on screen brightness, applications, network use, temperature and the overall condition of the tablet.
8. Will an A2042 battery fix every charging problem?
No. A battery replacement cannot repair a damaged USB-C connector, charging circuit, logic board, power-management component or display-related fault.
9. Can ESC customize battery labels and packaging?
Yes. ESC supports customized labels, barcodes and packaging for OEM and private-label projects. MOQ, sample terms and customization requirements should be confirmed before ordering.
10. What information is required for a wholesale quotation?
Provide the exact iPad models, required quantities, destination market, packaging requirements, label requirements, applicable documentation and preferred delivery method.
