I'm considering changing the battery on my iPad 2 because it's having issues. However, I came across a comment on a forum that suggested changing the battery could lead to a loss of all my data. Is there any truth to this?

Apple won't service iPad 2s anymore since they're considered obsolete, but when they still did, they would typically replace the whole unit rather than just the battery. If you take it to an independent repair shop, they might only change the battery, but they don't handle data transfer. So, there’s a chance you could keep your data if everything goes smoothly, but it’s best to back up just in case.
It shouldn’t erase your data, but if your iPad is already in a bootloop, like mine was, changing the battery might complicate things. Always have a backup just to be safe!
No, replacing the battery shouldn't erase your data. But there's always a small risk if something goes wrong during the process. Definitely make sure to back up anything important before you go ahead.
