As with its other hand held devices such as the iPod and iPhone, Apple will require users to send their unit in for battery replacement. It will cost you $99 plus shipping and tax to get a new battery for your iPad. However, you won't just get a new battery, you will get a new iPad. Users will receive a refurbished iPad, but it likely won't be theirs. Apple is recommending that users backup any data before sending the iPad in, or risk losing it forever. Not mentioned is any sort of warranty period, though it may be similar to the iPhone battery policy. iPhone users can receive a free replacement within the first year if the battery capacity drops below 50%.
