A1664 Battery for iPad Pro 9.7″ — 7306mAh Li-Polymer Replacement, Factory Direct

Q1: Is the A1664 battery compatible with iPad Pro 9.7″ models A1673, A1674, and A1675?

Yes. The A1664 is the OEM battery P/N for all iPad Pro 9.7″ 2016 variants: A1673 (Wi-Fi), A1674 (Wi-Fi + Cellular), and A1675 (Wi-Fi + Cellular, China). The Apple assembly reference is 020-00823. Before ordering, verify the model number engraved on the back of the device — it appears in small print near the bottom regulatory text. Do not rely on the device name alone; earlier iPad Air models share the same 9.7″ screen size but use a different battery.

Q2: How long does the iPad Pro 9.7″ A1664 battery last, and when should it be replaced?

Apple rates the A1664 pack for approximately 500 full charge cycles before capacity drops below 80% of original spec. In daily tablet use — roughly 4 to 6 hours of screen-on time — this typically means 2 to 3 years before degradation becomes noticeable. Practical replacement indicators: the device shuts down unexpectedly above 15% charge, drops from full to 20% within 2 hours of light use, or iOS Battery Health reads below 79%. Swollen packs should be replaced immediately regardless of cycle count.

Q3: Does the A1664 battery need activation or break-in cycles after installation?

No software activation is required. For accurate iOS Battery Health readings, run 2 to 3 full discharge-recharge cycles (drain to approximately 5%, charge to 100%) after installation. This lets the TI BMS recalibrate its fuel gauge against the new cell’s actual capacity. The pack ships at storage voltage (~3.85V) — it will arrive with a partial charge, not fully charged. Do not store it at 0% for extended periods before first use.

Q4: What is the MOQ, and can I combine different iPad battery models in one order?

The minimum order quantity is 50pcs per shipment. This threshold covers your total order, not per individual SKU. You can mix A1664 units with other iPad, MacBook, or consumer electronics battery models from our catalogue and count the combined quantity toward the 50pcs minimum. This cross-SKU mixed order policy is specifically designed for repair shops and regional distributors managing multi-device inventories. Contact us for a full catalogue and tiered pricing sheet.

Q5: What certifications does this battery hold, and how does it clear customs internationally?

The A1664 battery carries UN38.3, IEC62133, and CE certifications, produced under ISO9001. Lithium polymer batteries ship internationally as IATA Dangerous Goods, Class 9 (PI 965/966/967). We provide full MSDS documentation and UN38.3 test summaries with every shipment. Available shipping terms: EXW, FOB, CIF, and DDP. DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) is the cleanest option for buyers importing lithium batteries into the EU, US, UK, or Australia for the first time — all Class 9 documentation and customs coordination is handled on our side.

Q6: What does the warranty cover, and how are defective units processed?

All A1664 units carry a 12-month warranty from the confirmed receipt date. Our production defect rate runs below 0.1% per batch, verified by end-of-line capacity testing at our Huizhou facility. For warranty claims: submit a photo and a brief fault description (e.g., no charge, swelling, capacity under spec). We process replacements in the following shipment or issue a credit note — your choice. Return shipping is not required for claims under 20 units. For larger batch issues, we coordinate a joint QC review before replacement is issued.
