The answer is that you should replace it when you start to notice dimished battery life, or your ipad starts to run hot, or the charge will not hold. Sometimes, your ipad will fail to charge. Instead you will see the battery indicator showing 1% of charge, and the battery will not be able to start up your ipad. That is the time to replace it.
