Product Description
The iPad Air 3rd generation (2019) and iPad Pro 10.5-inch (2017) are different product lines — different chipsets, different price points, different release years — but they use the same battery. P/N A2123, rated at 3.82V / 8134mAh / 30.9Wh. For repair distributors, this means a single stocked SKU handles service calls across both devices, which collectively represent a large portion of the 10.5-inch Lightning-era iPad install base still in active use.
The iPad Pro 10.5 launched in 2017 with the A10X Fusion chip — now 7+ years old and well past the typical battery replacement threshold of 600 cycles. The iPad Air 3 (2019) followed, using the same 10.5-inch chassis and the same battery footprint. Both models still see strong repair demand: the iPad Pro 10.5 from enterprise and education fleets, the iPad Air 3 from consumer refurbishment and repair shop walk-in traffic.

Features & Advantages
✅ 🔄 One Battery P/N Covers Two iPad Product Lines
iPad Air 3 (2019) and iPad Pro 10.5 (2017) use physically identical batteries — same cell dimensions, same connector pitch, same PCM spec. Repair distributors stocking A2123 handle both device lines from a single inventory position. No separate minimum orders, no dual-SKU management.
✅ 🔋 8134mAh — Verified OEM-Equivalent Capacity
Each cell is individually discharged and capacity-logged before packing. Delivered output ≥ 8134mAh actual measured capacity. No sampled-batch testing, no inflated ratings. The iPad Air 3 and iPad Pro 10.5 both carry Apple’s published 10-hour battery life spec — a correctly installed replacement cell restores that runtime.
✅ 🔌 Lightning-Era PCM — Correct Charge Cutoff for These Devices
Both the iPad Air 3 and iPad Pro 10.5 use Lightning charging, not USB-C. The PCM on this cell is calibrated for Lightning input — overcharge cutoff at 4.35V, over-discharge at 2.75V. This distinction matters: USB-C iPad Pro batteries (3rd Gen onward) use a different PCM spec and should not be substituted.
✅ 🏭 Custom Capacity and Private Label from 200 pcs
Given this SKU’s dual-device coverage, house-brand repair kits built on A2123 address a larger combined device install base than single-model SKUs. Custom capacity within the same form factor, private label on the cell wrapper, and branded retail packaging are available from 200 pcs. Suitable for distributors building tiered repair kit product lines.

FAQ
Q1: Does the A2123 battery fit both the iPad Air 3 and iPad Pro 10.5-inch?
A: Yes. Apple used the identical A2123 battery in both the iPad Air 3rd generation (2019) and iPad Pro 10.5-inch (2017). Compatible model IDs: A2153, A2154, A2156 (iPad Air 3) and A1709, A1852 (iPad Pro 10.5). Not compatible with iPad Air 4 or later — the A2288 is a completely different battery. Always verify the model number on the back housing before ordering.
Q2: How does the iPad Air 3 battery differ from the iPad Pro 10.5 battery, physically?
A: They are the same battery — same P/N (A2123), same dimensions, same connector, same PCM spec. Despite being released two years apart under different product lines, Apple used identical battery hardware in both. This is not common across iPad generations and makes this SKU unusually efficient for repair distributors stocking multiple device types.
Q3: The iPad Pro 10.5 is from 2017 — is there still demand for this battery?
A: Yes, consistently. The iPad Pro 10.5 was a high-volume release, deployed heavily in enterprise and education settings. Many of these units remain in service — schools and businesses repair rather than replace fleet tablets when the core hardware is still functional. At 7+ years old, virtually all original batteries in these devices have exceeded 600 charge cycles. Repair demand for this model has not dropped off the way consumer devices do.
Q4: Both devices use Lightning charging. Does the PCM on this battery differ from USB-C iPad batteries?
A: Yes. The Lightning-era PCM on this cell is calibrated for Lightning input characteristics — overcharge cutoff at 4.35V. USB-C iPad Pro models (3rd Gen, 2018, and later) use a different PCM rated for higher-current Power Delivery input. These PCM boards are not interchangeable, and using a USB-C-rated PCM in a Lightning iPad (or vice versa) risks incorrect charge cutoff behavior. This cell’s PCM is correct for both the iPad Air 3 and iPad Pro 10.5.
Q5: How long does an iPad Air 3 or iPad Pro 10.5 battery last after replacement?
A: Apple’s published figure for both devices is approximately 10 hours of Wi-Fi browsing or video playback. A new 8134mAh cell restores runtime to that spec. Given the age of iPad Pro 10.5 units in particular, original batteries in active devices are typically well below 70% capacity — the improvement from replacement is significant and immediately noticeable.
Q6: Is custom packaging available for this SKU, and does the dual-device coverage affect OEM kit design?
A: Custom capacity within the same form factor, private label on the cell, and retail box packaging are available from 200 pcs. The dual-device coverage is an advantage for kit design: a single house-brand repair kit labeled “iPad Air 3 / iPad Pro 10.5 Battery” covers both product lines without splitting SKUs. For repair distributors selling to shops that service both devices, this simplifies catalog management and reduces minimum order complexity.
