My iPad only goes to 2% then kicks off ~
Oh! I thought you were answering the OP but you ARE the OP! I am trying to do 500 things at the same time! Grayson ~ does your iPad make it to 1%?

2% is a safety factor. Though the battery isn't dead dead it shuts off at around that point. Your battery calibration could be off by the 1%-2% difference.
When it says 100% full it's not really 100% ,more like 96-98% so that is why sometimes we see after it drops below 100% it seems to drop to around 90%- 95% faster than it did from 100% to 99%. It's the calibration becoming more accurate.

1% is close enough for calibration purposes.
Btw. the iPad actualize shuts of the moment it reaches 0%. Multiple personal tests have shown that once the battery drops from 2% to 1%, the battery still lasts 5-6min at 1%, before the iPad shuts off.Last edited by DontUnderstandMyIpad; 05-14-2011 at 03:38 PM.

Oh, yeah, it does go on 1% for a while, but I've never timed it.

Didn't I say 2% and then kicks off? Did you ever go to your room?

I've run mine down to zero a couple if times.
Battery calibration? What's that? I really don't think running your battery down/to zero makes a hill of beans difference. But once a month? What a faff. Just use it as you go
