iPad. How Do You Charge Yours?

[Al_G]

Dawned on me the other day!

Most will want to keep their iPad longer than say their iPhone so battery longevity is important.

Question is should one be recharging their iPad piecemeal or running the battery down completely before recharging it fully?

Does it not make one iota of difference?

Like above, if it's below about 5% I'll whack it on charge.

Or unless I'm syncing it. Which now, with sync via wifi, is hardly ever.

I plug mine in to the mains...

TBH I don't think about it, when it needs charging I stick it on and it pretty much stays like that till I want to use it again.

I wouldn't really worry about it. The battery will last years and years.

Mine will be sold for the next one anyway. Lol.

Gunna start commuting with it again, so probably every night, as it downloads newspapers and s**t when plugged in.

Varied. Drain it every so often. Don't worry about it.

When it gets to below 20% or so. I always use the mains adapter that came with the iPad, charging via USB takes horrendously long.

Put it on charge every night, use it constantly so I need a full charge for every eventuality.

I don't keep things long enough to worry about battery wear tbh.

Just stick it on the dock at night. If I miss a night it doesn't matter, it rarely goes below 20%

Take it there's no room in the dock for a thin case?

Nope. None at all.

I roll naked with the iPad anyway.

Lol. I commute with mine in the darkest dungeons of London. No case = bad aids.
