I noticed something right now. When I had my I-Pad docked to my desktop via the USB port, the battery indicator said "Not Charging". My battery charge was at 98%. But when I unplugged the USB my battery charge read 100%
View 6 RepliesI read somewhere that whilst this message is displayed when you connect to a typical notebook (netbook in my case), the ipad is actually charging albeit at a slow rate. It is said if you leave on overnight, you'd find the device fully charged in the morning. Wondering if this actually does damage to the battery lifespan however.
View 6 RepliesI usually charge my ipad2 from my iMac and it works fine. Yesterday I updated to Beta 5 and it no longer charges from computer it says not charging. my iPhone still charges fine from my computer. the iPad charges fine from the wall adapter.
View 5 RepliesI've had my iPad since the 8th June and Ive only just noticed that when My ipads fully charged it will say 100% put when I tuned the power off/ disconnect the charger it drops to 98%, I'm a bit concerned as I've only had it since the 8th.
Is this normal?
Will battery performance on the iPad degrade if I keep it connected to the power adapter for 6 - 7 hours every day?

I am having problems getting the new IPad to charge at all and sometime it displays this message.' charging not supported with this accessory'. This message is appearing occasionally on my 5 week old new iPad (3) within a few minutes of plugging it in.: (It is also not charging after this message appears. I am using the supplied wall socket and cable. I am also having problems getting the iPad to charge at all even if the message does not show. This is frustrating me no end. I expected a reliable device given the amount I paid.
I rang Apple support today (twice) and it made a liar of me working just fine for few minutes the first time then again failed, then for hour or so after the second call seemed to work just fine. Now it is not charging, and won't charge despite repeatedly unplugging and repluging, Switching off the iPad and turning it back on etc etc.

Anybody know if it matters or harms in anyway the iPad battery leaving it on charge? Maybe if your going to sleep or out for awhile and it only needs a short charge time, but it is hooked up much longer than it actually needs to be.

is it a problem if i have to take my i-Pad with me if it is not fully charged (say 50%)?

I Pad
I have just bought my brand new iPad and as I was leaving the PC World store the tech guy told me that I should charge the unit for TEN HOURS before even turning it on.
I know this used to be common practice with batteries in years gone by but in this age of non-memory Lithium Ion batteries is it really necessary to do that?Did you all charge yours up for that period of time before getting stuck into it?
I have a problem with my iPad 1: The battery status was low at 5% when I was surfing the net so I shut it down. Came to it the next day to charge it up and the Pad is not reacting at all. No battery charging sign, no "plip" when I connect it via the charger or USB on the computer. I have checked all the obvious stuff such as cleanliness of all the connectors, function of the the wall charger etc. I changed the USB/power cable and nothing has worked. I have also tried to reset it by simultaneously pressing the start and home buttons. The pad still isn't switching on. Before this fault the battery was excellent: held its charge really well.

(1) Is it best to run the battery down before re-charging?(2) Is battery draining when in sleep mode? If so should I shut down completely to avoid draining battery? I commute via train in the morning and use ipad again on the way home.(3) How do I get ride of apps on my Macbook so they don't sync to ipad?(4) I have 3G version. When in a wifi area will device use the wifi or the 3G?
Is it better to wait until the iPad's battery is totally empty or charge when it's like at 25% or so?
View 2 RepliesI usually let mine go to 20 percent before letting it charge to 100%.
View 9 RepliesI was wondering if there is enough power for operating (to conserve battery), even though there is not enough power for charging?

My Ipad 3 purchases less than two months ago is not charging correctly. If I leave it on the charger all day it only goes to 50%.

When I plug in my iPad to charge. I always would see that big green battery pop up on the middle of the screen.
Not any more.. It is charging, though.
Should I drain out all the battery before charging? Or at least 90% of it? Or can I charge from lets say 50%? Which is best for the battery?
View 1 RepliesSo I was very excited to pick up a 32gb and 16 gb model today from Best Buy. When I got them home, the 16 GB I had purchased my sweetie seems to be charging and working fine. My iPad works fine but says Not Charging by the battery.

I was in a bus with heavy traffic, so I pulled out Meteor Blitz and Mirror's Edge for 4 hours, draining the battery to 81%. When I plugged it into the wall with the included 10W wall charger and began surfing the web.It took about an hour to get the battery up to 90%, but then the charging sped up exponentially, taking about 15 minutes to charge the last 10%. Does this mean that my battery is functioning abnormally, or is this something that just happens to iPads? The display brightness was set to automatic (probably about 60%), WiFi was off, 3G was on and connected, and Bluetooth was on.
View 3 RepliesI'm new here. I have a problem with my iPad. IPAD is disabled because of low battery to charge and when you put the load is never 100%. when I connect it to the wall and shows he is carrying. It is not! After one night carrying, he never goes to 70%! The problem is that the IPAD is that it can ruin the battery! when I reset it loads normally! What can I do? be a problem with the update resolves an iPad or ... I use version 3.2.2. and the bigger problem is that I live in Brazil.
