iPad and iPad 2 - Strategies to Get More Life Out of Your Battery


The sophisticated device named iPad, manufactured by the Apple Inc, is gaining extreme popularity all over the world. It completely fulfills the portability requirement for every individual to carry around a complete, compact computer everywhere. Some people have mentioned that the iPad has battery problems. Either this is genuinely a defect with the battery provided, or it is due to fact that people overuse the device. Buying an external battery for your iPad is the perfect solution for iPad battery problems.

Since the iPad is predominantly used by people who travel a lot and by those who want to carry their device with them wherever they go, an external iPad battery proves to be a great help in these situations. These batteries give the liberty to individuals to carry their iPad with them anywhere and save time by working on their device without encountering any battery-related issues. When you purchased the device, you certainly made a great decision. Now it's time to make another brilliant decision and go for an extended power pack for your iPad.

If you choose not to invest in an external battery pack for your iPad, here are some other strategies that could prolong the life of your battery:

1. In order to maximize the life of your iPad battery, you should take care of the following important factors. Sometimes the iPad case traps heat. If the case on your device does this, and you observe that your iPad heats up quickly, you can always take device out of the case while charging. Check the temperature of the iPad by touching it when charging.

2. It is recommended that you drain the battery below 20% before charging. The iPad's lithium-polymer batteries are not affected by the memory effect, which was the major problem with the standard NiCd batteries.

3. Usually, individuals who have iPads seem to really use them. On the other hand, people who do not use their device frequently, should charge the tablet computer at least once a month and use the system to utilize the charged power. This is necessary to maintain most favorable battery chemistry.

Always consider the temperature of your device. Experiencing extreme lows and highs in temperature can be damaging for the iPad, as well as the battery. The ideal temperature for your device is between 32 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Never forget your iPad in your car during cool nights or severe sunny days.

iPad Battery Life


The iPad is a revolutionary device in more ways than one. One aspect of the iPad's design that cannot be mentioned enough is the long battery life. Only a handful of phones and laptop computers have a battery life more than 6 hours, much less the 10 hours one can achieve with the iPad. In addition, Apple's batteries are designed to have a longer lifecycle than most of their competitors. Your iPad battery is designed to keep 80% of its charge for 1000 full charge and discharge cycles. This is an incredible lifecycle double that of many lithium-ion based battery designs.

To protect your investment, maximize your battery life, and extend your battery's lifespan; follow the recommendations below that we found posted on Apple's website.

Battery Tip #1) If your iPad case traps heat, take the iPad out of the case when you are charging your iPad. You can tell if your iPad case traps heat by touching the iPad during the charge cycle. If you feel the iPad heating up, take it out of its case when charging.

Battery Tip #2) While the iPad's lithium-polymer batteries are not affected by the memory effect (i.e. battery effect) found in old NiCd batteries of years past, try to drain the battery below 20% before charging.

Battery Tip #3) Many of you will not need to follow this tip, but make sure you charge your iPad at least once a month to maintain optimal battery chemistry. This simply means you should use your iPad for at least a full charge per month. Make sure for at least one time per month charge your iPad to 100%, then drain it all the way down to 0%.

Battery Tip #4) Remember the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Your iPad should never be too cold or too hot. In technical speak; the optimal temperature is between 32 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Leaving your iPad in a car during a cold winter's night or in the trunk during a hot summer day would not be healthy for your battery life.

Battery Tip #5) If you expect to not be using your iPad during an extended period in the day, put the iPad to sleep to conserve power. To put your iPad to sleep simply press the Sleep/Wake button on the top right corner.

Battery Tip #6) Turn off your Wireless card or 3G when not in use. Rarely should you have both on.
