Description du produit
The A2288 battery is one of the most strategically valuable SKUs in the current iPad repair market. A single cell — 3.8V / 7606mAh / 28.93Wh — covers four distinct iPad product lines released across four consecutive years: iPad Air 4th generation (2020), iPad Air 5th generation (2022), iPad 10th generation (2022), and iPad Air 11-inch M2 (2024, 6th generation). For repair distributors and shop chains, this means one stocked part number handles the majority of 10.9–11-inch iPad repairs from 2020 onward.
This is not a coincidence of form factor overlap — it’s Apple’s deliberate battery platform consolidation across the 10.9/11-inch iPad lineup. The battery is physically identical across all four device generations, with the same connector pitch and the same PCM specification. A technician stocking A2288 cells can cover four years of iPad Air service calls and iPad 10 repairs without split inventory.
The BMS chipset is Texas Instruments. On these iPad generations, iPadOS reads state-of-charge via the BMS communication protocol. Generic IC chipsets produce erratic percentage readings, incorrect health status in Settings > Battery, and — in some cases — false shutdowns under load. The TI fuel gauge runs Apple’s expected protocol. Installation reports back correctly to iOS from the first charge cycle, with no extended calibration required.

Caractéristiques et avantages
✅ 📦 One SKU, Four Generations — Inventory Efficiency for Repair Distributors
iPad Air 4 (2020), Air 5 (2022), iPad 10 (2022), and iPad Air 11\” M2 (2024) all use the same A2288 cell. A repair shop stocking this single part number covers four years of the most widely sold 10.9–11-inch iPad lineup. No per-generation split stock, no minimum per model — one SKU services the full range.
✅ 🧠 Texas Instruments BMS — iOS-Native Fuel Gauge Protocol
TI’s fuel gauge IC communicates state-of-charge via the protocol iPadOS expects on these models. Generic BMS chipsets cannot replicate this accurately: the result is erratic percentage display, wrong health readings, and premature shutdown warnings that generate return complaints for repair shops. TI-based cells report correctly from the first charge — no calibration cycles needed to normalize the readout.
✅ 🔋 Pure Cobalt Chemistry — Stable Voltage Curve Across Full Discharge
LiCoO₂ (pure cobalt) maintains a flatter voltage curve compared to mixed-cathode chemistries. This matters for fuel gauge accuracy: the TI IC’s state-of-charge model is calibrated against the LiCoO₂ discharge profile. Mixing a TI BMS with a non-cobalt cell produces the same erratic readout as a generic IC — the chemistry and the BMS chipset must be matched. Ours are.
✅ 🏭 OEM/ODM — Custom Capacity and Private Label from 200 pcs
Custom capacity configurations within the same form factor, private label printing on the cell, and branded retail packaging are available from 200 pcs. Given the four-generation coverage of this SKU, house-brand repair kits built around A2288 have a wider addressable device base than almost any other single iPad battery SKU currently in production.

FAQ
Q1: Which iPad models is the A2288 battery compatible with?
A: The A2288 covers four device generations: iPad Air 4 (2020) — A2316, A2324, A2325, A2072; iPad Air 5 (2022) — A2588, A2589, A2591; iPad 10 (2022) — A2696, A2757, A2777; and iPad Air 11-inch M2 (2024, Air 6) — A2902, A2903, A2904. The alternate P/N is A2742. Not compatible with iPad Air 13-inch M2 — that model uses a different, larger battery. Always verify the model number on the back housing before ordering.
Q2: Why does this single battery fit both iPad Air and iPad 10 models across different years?
A: Apple standardized the 10.9–11-inch iPad chassis battery footprint across these generations — same cell dimensions, same connector pitch, same PCM specification. The iPad Air 4, Air 5, iPad 10, and iPad Air 11 M2 all use physically identical batteries. This was a deliberate platform consolidation, not a coincidence. For repair distributors, it means one stocked SKU handles four years of service calls across multiple product lines.
Q3: What happens if I install an A2288 battery with a generic BMS instead of TI?
A: On these iPad models, iPadOS reads state-of-charge via the BMS IC communication protocol — not just raw voltage. A generic BMS chipset cannot accurately replicate the TI fuel gauge output. Common failure modes: battery percentage jumps erratically (e.g., drops from 40% to 5% without warning), Settings > Battery shows incorrect health status, or the device shuts down under load while showing remaining charge. These complaints are the most common return driver for aftermarket iPad batteries. TI-based cells avoid all three.
Q4: Does the A2288 battery work with the 2024 iPad Air 11-inch M2 (Air 6)?
A: Yes — Apple continued using the A2288 battery in the iPad Air 11-inch M2 (2024, 6th generation), model numbers A2902, A2903, and A2904. The battery is physically and electrically identical to the Air 4 and Air 5 variants. This makes the A2288 one of the few iPad battery SKUs to span both M-chip and pre-M-chip iPad Air generations with no hardware change.
Q5: How long does an iPad Air 4/5 battery last after replacement with A2288?
A: Apple’s published battery life for the iPad Air 4 and Air 5 is approximately 10 hours of Wi-Fi browsing or video playback. A properly installed 7606mAh replacement cell restores runtime to that spec. Real-world figures depend on screen brightness, app workload, and Wi-Fi vs cellular use — but a healthy replacement cell will meaningfully outperform any original battery below 80% capacity.
Q6: Is custom capacity or private label available, and what makes sense for this SKU specifically?
A: Yes, from 200 pcs — custom capacity within the same form factor, private label on the cell, and branded retail packaging. The case for custom branding is stronger here than for most single-device SKUs: because A2288 covers iPad Air 4, 5, 6, and iPad 10, a house-brand kit built on this cell addresses a wide device install base without SKU proliferation. One branded kit, four compatible device generations — that’s a meaningful retail positioning advantage for repair distributors.
