Ipad 4 battery ?

[Gremlin56]

Hi can anybody tell me, can you start charging the battery anytime from a wall socket, whatever the battery life left.
Or is it better to let it run down to nearly empty.

Thanks.

It doesn't make a diff to the iPad. It's just good to let the battery run down about once a month, to keep battery calibration accurate, according to Apple.

Thanks for the links....great information!

Thought this was particularly interesting that I didn't realize...

A charge cycle means using all the battery'’s power, but that doesn'’t necessarily mean a single charge. For instance, you could listen to your iPod for a few hours one day, using half its power, and then recharge it fully. If you did the same thing the next day, it would count as one charge cycle, not two, so you may take several days to complete a cycle. Each time you complete a charge cycle, it diminishes battery capacity slightly, but you can put notebook, iPod and iPhone batteries through many charge cycles before they will only hold 80 per cent of original battery capacity.


Charge Cycles3
A properly maintained iPad battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 1000 full charge and discharge cycles. You may choose to replace your battery when it no longer holds sufficient charge to meet your needs.
