According to a recently-posted , Apple will replace your iPad if it "requires service due to the battery's diminished ability to hold an electrical charge," for $99 and a $6.95 shipping fee.

Before you get too excited, this doesn't mean that you could pull the old switcharoo if you're tampering with or using it as a coaster.

Apple added, "Your iPad is not eligible for Battery Replacement Service if the product has been damaged, for example, as result of an accident, liquid contact, disassembly, unauthorized service or unauthorized modifications, or if the product is not operating correctly as a result of a component failure."

A little more than $100 for a new, or as points out "possibly refurbished," iPad may seem like a decent deal to some, considering Apple when they start to lose their charge. But the swap comes with one big disadvantage.

Apple warns that replacement iPads won't come with any of your personal information and suggests you sync your old device with iTunes to backup your data before sending it in.
