Hey all I received an iPad mini 1 that needed a new digitizer, so I opened it up and noticed that on the battery there were a few spots with abnormal colouring. The pictures explain it better than I can. Does anyone know if this is something to be concerned about? Thanks.

Hi @taffythecat This appears to be water residue on the battery… chances are this iPad was cracked for a while. You can replace the battery to be 100% sure the iPad will function but if there are no issues, it is not necessary. Best of luck!
