iPad battery replacement.

I have used an iPad Mini (Mk2 I think ? ) for the last two years. I almost always let it run down to around 1% before re-charging fully, which takes around 4 hours. Do it on at a time switch overnight, usually, so the power is not left on unnecessarily. This, I was told ( but ask 2 questions and get 6 answers ?) is the optimum way to gain maximum battery life ?

But ... there is no doubt in my mind that the battery will eventually fail, and need replacing, and ..... more than one so called computer "expert" has told me that battery replacement is virtually impossible, that if even attempted so much damage will be done that a new computer will be required anyway, i.e. when the battery dies, as will surely happen, forget about repair, just go down to Apple and spend another small fortune.

Can this be correct ? If so a pox upon them.
