How do charge the battery

How do I charge the battery?

Use the cable that was provided with the Shuffle and either plug it into your PC's USB outlet or to an adapter that plugs into a wall outlet. See your iPod's User Guide for more information.

How to charge the battery if the power input is damaged?

The mains power socket on my Satellite 4070CDT has been damaged and the laptop will no longer take power or recharge the battery from this socket. (Attempts to re-solder the joint have damaged the power detection circuitry!)
Does anyone know if I can feed the appropriate voltage (10.8v?) to the battery contacts inside the battery housing to keep the laptop going, and if so, which contacts and with what tolerance on the voltage?
(Applying 12v across the +ve and one particular -ve contact seems to persuade the power management software that it is running from mains without a battery, but after 20 seconds the laptop powers down.)
Any ideas? Thanks.

With some experimentation (and the assistance of a voltage meter) I have found a solution, which I have described below should anyone else be similarly troubled!
My li-ion battery has 10 end-facing contacts and 2 top-facing contacts. One of the 2 top-facing contacts is the real +ve contact for the battery, which passes charge via the other top-facing contact to the end-facing contact that is marked as being the +ve terminal.
Of the 9 remaining end-facing contacts, only two (the 3rd and 10th counting from the +ve as 1st contact) were reporting any charge, probably due to the battery being almost fully discharged.
I have soldered the 12v +ve supply from a new external adaptor to the 1st end-facing contact (which is marked as the +ve contact) and the -ve connection to the 3rd and 10th contacts, feeding the cable out through a notch cut in the laptop casing at the contact end of the battery.
The cable is terminated with a suitably sized floating socket to receive the plug from the 12v adaptor.
AND IT WORKS!
The laptop is reporting that the battery only has 4% charge, but it keeps going! I have turned-off the battery alarms and system-tray indicator as they are meaningless now.
So my 6-year-old laptop lives to see another day, although it is no longer a 'mobile' device now that it needs constant mains supply - but it still has its uses.
Query closed!

IPhone: how to charge the battery when in Europe.

I'm going to Germany for 6 months, and I will most certainly be taking my iPhone. The only thing I'm not sure about it is will I need a Power Converter Adaptor to plug into the wall with a Plug Adaptor? Or will I only need to use the Plug Adaptor?
Someone told me that the iPhone has the capability to automatically switch over the power conversion from US to European without the Converter Adaptor Plug, so that I only need a plug to fit the German Sockets.
Can anyone clear this up for me? I don't want to fry my iPhone!

And if you want to be really cool -- you can get the Apple international adapter kit from the apple store and just slip on the appropriate plug right onto your charger brick -- I have a set that I use constantly, and they interchangeable on the iPod/iPhone charger brick, as well as the Macbook, Macbook Pro, and other charger bricks as well. Very handy.

HT4061 I have an ipad 32gb and have no information on how to charge the battery as it is dead.I need to learn where the charging port is

need to charge my ipad and dont have any paperwork on it .Please help

There are only two ports on the ipad. One for a headphone and one to charge.
http://www.apple.com/ipad/compare/
Is general info.

You can download the manual here.
Even though some info is model specific most of it applies regardless of your model.

HT4623 Hi!My iPAD lost its charge fast !!I've got an iPAD capacity 57,1GB and it has available 55,1GB ,version 7.0.4 .I'd like to know how long does the battery last when it is 100 % charged.

Hi!I've just installed the iOS 7.0.4 operating system and the battery lost its charge at an incredibly speed.I'd like to know how long does the battery last if everything is right when it has 100% charge.Thanks!

I`m `propping` up this thread to to the top of the forums again as it`s been three months and not a single community member or Apple support personnel have replied, which I find discouraging.
I`ve tried everything - both the iOS device(s) and Apple TV have been upgraded (albeit reluctantly) to the latest versions, since iOS 7 looks like crap compared to iOS 6. Both use the same WiFi network. Bluetooth is set to `off`, as per the online tutorials on the Apple Support page.
I also tried shutting all of them down, including the router, waiting 30 seconds and turning the router, then the Apple TV then the iOS device on sequentially with 30 seconds in between each, again as per this discussion forum, and still nothing.
Why can Apple not make a technology, such as AirPlay, work with greater than 10%?
Any other ideas?
Come on, people.
Thanks,
Doug

How can I charge the battery in my macbook pro on a plane

I am getting ready to take a flight to Australia. How what do i need to get to charge the battery on the plane?

You have to bring your charger with you and hope their is an electrical outlet that is compatible with your charger near the seat you are sitting in. I do not know of any other way.

When I try to charge the battery, my i-pad says: "charging off", how can I change this, so my i-pad will just start to charge as before, without any complications?

Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

How long before you can't charge the battery

How many times can you charge the battery before replacing and where do you get it replaced?

From http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html :
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.

How can I charge the battery on my US iPad and iPhone while in Europe?

I will be travelling to Ireland next month. I would like to bring my iPad 2 and iPhone 5s, but am concerned about charging the battery in Europe due to the voltage difference. Will the current charger work? Do I need to use a voltage converter for these devices?

All Apple chargers work from 100-240VAC, 50-60Hz power. All you will need is a plug adapter for the country you are in.
You can use your iPad charger to charge your iPhone (also, it will charge it faster than the iPhone charger).
 Cheers, Tom
Have a great time on your trip.

When I plug my iPod into the charger and it's done charging the battery goes on and off and it wakes me up at night please tell me how to fix this!

When my iPod is done charging the battery noise
Goes on and off and it's very annoying and I can't figure out
What it is and it goes off when I sleep walking me up please
Help me!!

After a short time the iPod's screen should automatically go off? Does that happen?
Cover the iPod with something so the screen light does not bother yuu

How to increase the battery life of your N series ...

What I am about to post here is valid for any 3G phone or device regardless of model but it is particularly focused towards the N series devices and their power hogging features.
Your battery life is dependant on many many things. How often you take calls on the device, the condition of your battery, the features you use on the device and so on and on. Therefore it is impossible to say that by following the information in this post you will get x amount of days battery life, but it will get you more time out of the battery than you otherwise would have got.
So with that out the way, if your looking to increase your battery life then follow these tips and your battery should start looking a lot healthier.
First of all lets start with THE big one. The one that is going to save you the most juice. Switching 3G off.
Yep, you heard me right. Just by switching the 3G capability of your phone off you will add hours and hours to your battery life. How is this so? Allow me to explain...
Due to the rather poor delivery of 3G in the UK by the network operators, it is rare for any 3G phone to maintain a constant 3G signal. Instead you will find that the phone constantly flips between 3G and GSM mode (Keep an eye on your signal one day). Even those of you on Vodafone who probably have the best 3G network coverage will find this is the case.
Unfortunately, this constant flipping between the two modes sucks power from the battery like a vampire as it alters its reception state for the different modes and the constant flipping is..well...causing it do this constantly! It can sometimes even make your phone unavailable for calls for very brief periods as it trips from GSM to 3G and vice versa.
If you need to use 3G for video calls or whatever then I'm afraid your just going to have to live with this but if you don't (And lets face it few of us do) then you can switch 3G off and increase your battery life considerably.
To do this, go into the "Settings" application (Found in the menu somewhere, by default Nokia normally stick it in "Tools"), and then to the "Phone" tab. In there you will see an option that says "Network mode" and you have a choice of "GSM" or "Dual Mode" (I.e. UMTS and GSM). Set it to GSM and your phone will restart. Once it restarts it will be working in GSM with GPRS speeds only but really for most purposes this is fine.
You have now just extended your battery capability considerably. You can further extend it by going to the "Connection" tab, going into "Packet data" and changing it to "When needed" so it is not constantly checking for a data connection.
The second big change you can make is to turn your phones wifi scanning capability off. The last time I looked not all Nokia's phones that have wifi capability can have their wifi cards switched off entirely but if you can, turn it off except for when you need to use it. Wifi is a power hog.
The next big change you can make is to lower the screen brightness settings on your phone. The less bright your screen is the less power is being used to light it up. Nokia by default leave the screen brightness at something like 50%. Lowering this a bit more will conserve more juice. Before you do this though please consider the fact that lowering the brightness setting will have a big impact on your ability to see the screen clearly in sunny conditions although you will be fine in the dark as you can't lower the brightness that far.
To lower the brightness, go to the settings tool in your phone and into the display option (Hidden in a subcategory called "Personalisation" on the N95). It won't hurt to set the power saving time out to 1 minute and the backlight time out to 10 seconds while your here (Although these are the Nokia default so they should already be set to this).
Finally in regards to the screen, although they may look pretty, animated screensavers use more battery power than the standard blank screen with time and date so avoid them if you can.
It also helps to keep Bluetooth switched off until you need it although the power savings are minimal in comparison to the other changes but every little milliamp counts!
Using the above methods I generally get about 3 to 4 days with about 3 hours talktime on my N95 without using Bluetooth, GPS or anything like that (I might be able to get more but so far I have not paid attention to the battery state before I put it on charge). If I am on a long train journey I can get about 4 hours worth of full screen video and about 2 hours talktime over the period of about 24 hours before it needs a recharge. As I said at the start of the post your mileage will vary greatly depending on how you use your device.
Hope this helps.

no keffa it is a cop out from nokia
its not unfai as its a premium device with a premium price
the n95 battery is atrocious
dont change the post content as the title is 'How to increase the battery life of your N series device'
your talking about nokia phones specifically
the networks are not to blame
they do not make the handsets : Nokia do !!!!!!!!!!
I'm going to choose my words carefully here...
I would never deny the battery on the N95 is not really up to the job of powering the N95 with its power hungry features. To put the same battery into a phone that has WiFi, GPS and a large 320x240 screen, the same one that goes into the E65 which has comparatively nothing compared to it is a bit pants.
However at no point was I criticising them for the band hopping problem. I labelled the post as how to increase the battery life of your N series device because this is a board for the N series devices. It was a simple choice of wording and not intended to be cutting in any way and I did make a remark that the details would be true of any 3G device at the top of the post.
What I was trying to point out in my second post is that the constant band hopping the phone is being forced to do that is draining its battery so much more quicker than it would if it had a constant signal of one kind or another isn't quite Nokia's fault.
They build it to conform to a laid out specification for 3G. However if the network operators cannot be bothered to roll out their 3G infrastructure adequately enough that the phone can find and remain locked onto a 3G signal that is usable then what are Nokia to do other than offer you the capability to turn 3G off until you need it (Although note to Nokia: That **bleep** reboot the phone does when you do this is entirely unneeded and you know it).
Blaming Nokia for this would be like blaming the manufacturer of your radio for failing to pick up radio because the radio station does not have any transmitters within range of your radio's receiver.
Finally...this band hopping is exhibited by all 3G phones built by Samsung, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, etc, from their most budget 3G model to their priciest piece and is the reason that all phones with 3G capabilities have batteries that do not last for any respectable length of time because these phones are also having to band hop between 3G and GSM.
Finally the proof is in the pudding. Turn 3G off for a few days. See your battery improve. Then (Although admittedly this will be harder to do...mcuh harder) find an area where you get a fairly decent 3G signal constantly. Again, see your battery improve. Try it with a different 3G phone...different manufacturer even. The same will be true.
So I stand by my comment, the network operators and their woeful 3G rollout are the villains costing you a fair chunk of your battery and Nokia cannot be expected to mitigate this....but a better battery would be nice all the same...

6500 slide !!charging the battery!!

i didnt charged the battery for 16 hours...is this a problem ??In my guide book doesnt say how much hours i have to charge.. my mobile..!!i charged it 7 hours maybe 8 for the first time...and then i played all the time.. games.. and my phone was left out of energy...is it normal?maybe can i demand a second battery if i see that the battery dont last long...!!!???plz someone answer.can anyone tell me...with 100% that i make a **bleep** ?or its doesnt matters that i charged my phone for 8 hours...i have olny charged once..maybe.. if i leave.. a lit bit more next time.. the things will fix ?

li-ion batteries don't like being over charged or completely discharged. although the phone will stop charging after a the battery is full and the phone can be left hooked with no problems, i advice to unhook the phone after it finishes charging and the charger also " live green my friend ".this will prolong the battery life.
Fear not those who argue but those who dodge

Compaq nc6000 not charging the battery

Hello,
I'm having a problem with a Compaq nc6000 I'm trying to fix up for a freind. It doesn't appear to be charging the battery. It will run off the battery and the external power just fine, but the charging indicator does not come on and the power management in XP doesn't show any increase in the battery's charge. If the battery won't charge, this laptop will turn into a desktop once the battery is dead. Does anyone know where the charging circuit for the battery is located? I'm hoping it's not on the mainboard, but I expect it is.
Any chance this is a problem with the OS? This is a laptop that came off-lease and there's something strange about the install of XP that's on it. I can't put my finger on it, but something just doesn't seem right.

Hello;
         Two years ago I had this same issue. Bought a new charger. Still would not charge. Bought a new battery. That fixed it.
Now I am in the same situation....maybe. The charger registers as on AC power. It will keep the battery from going deaf, but will not charge.
         If this was a mother board issue instead of battery how would you know?
So, even though this is an older computer I am considering purchasing a new battery.
        As far as I know even in perfect working condition my laptop is not worth a dollar.
Laptops are more difficult to diagnose and I don't know anyone who will repair them.
Wishing us both good luck,
                                        Chris

Anyone have any ideas of how to make the battery on the iphone5 last longer?

Anyone have any ideas of how to make the battery on the iphone5 last longer? I don't use the phone that much and the battery does not last all day. Phone is new.

Many suggestions can be found here
1. turn off push email and use fetch or manual fetch instead.
2. turn off or at least limit notifications
3. limit use of apps that use location services (eg. maps app - heavy power useage when running).
4. in General->About->Diagnostics & Usage, turn off Automatic sending.
5. Privacy->Location Services->System Services, disable everything (none of it need be running for normal use).
6. Wifi, turn off "Ask to Join Networks" so your device is not polling all open networks it finds.
7. keep brightness as low as you can get by with.
Finally, get a car charger, and a second charger for work/school and just plug in whenever it is convenient to do so.
Or, if it suits your daily routine better, get an external battery power brick or case and charge it periodically from that.
