Title	iPad 7 Battery Replacement
Introduction	Follow this guide to remove or replace the battery in an iPad 7 for both Wi-Fi only and Cellular models. '''For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% before disassembling your phone.''' This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, [[What to do with a swollen battery|take appropriate precautions|new_window=true]]. Be very careful when you isolate the battery using a battery blocker. The battery contacts are easily damaged, resulting in irreversible damage. If you choose to complete the guide without isolating the battery, avoid using metal tools except when completely necessary (like when removing screws) to prevent shorting the battery and damaging sensitive circuit components. Some photos in this guide are from a different model and may contain slight visual discrepancies, but they won't affect the guide procedure.
