Battery level when out of box + real autonomy

Hi!!
I just bought a New Ipad (3). When out of the box, the battery was only charged to 69%, is that normal? Right after I turned it on for the first time and set it up, the battery decreased to 64% after only 10 min. Do you think it has a problem?
One more question: when it says "up to 10 hours" autonomy, does it mean I can stream for 10 hours (Netflix for exemple) ? Or is it more the average autonomy for an average us (web + some video + reading...etc)?
How long can the battery last when streaming 100% of the time (such as Netflix) ? Same question for when watching movies that are on my ipad (no streaming) ?
Thank you for your support.
JM.

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

  • New ipad turns on when plugged to be recharged - battery level when off?

    1- Is it normal that the ipad turns itself on automatically when plugged to be recharged?
    2- When it is recharging while it is off, can one see the battery status or when it is fully charged?
    Thank you for your help.

    Yes it is normal. If the iPad battery is below a certain level of charge it is perfectly normal for it to turn on when charging.
    2- When it is recharging while it is off, can one see the battery status or when it is fully charged?
    No. If the iPad does not turn on, you cannot see the battery indicator.

  • Why does my battery shorten when out the house?

    Hey everyone,
    This has been bugging me for a while, so thanks in advance for any help that anyone can give. It's concerning a 13" MacBook Pro, new in April this year.
    Basically, whilst I'm in the house (not plugged into the mains, on battery), I can expect 5-7 hours on battery. This would be with Safari, Mail, iCal and Twitter open, and connected to the internet via Wifi.
    But, whenever I am out the house (normally at college), and only have one or two apps open (normally Pages as I'd be writing an essay etc) the battery only lasts two hours, Max.
    Anyone have any ideas about why this would happen? Or what I can do to find out more?
    Thanks again!

    I gave your idea a go, and you were bang on! The process was 'Google Chrome helper' and it was using SO MUCH CPU power that I saw the number peak at 100% - something I'm pretty sure shouldn't be possible.
    But when I tried to quit the process, it closed, but another one opened up within seconds. I could not get rid of it.
    I googled the problem, and it turned out to be a setting - under preferances, the one about anti phishing. I disabled that, and job's a good'n.
    Thanks once more!

  • My ipad wont turn on or show battery level when charging

    I dont know what to do, my iPad wont show up in iTunes, the computer doesnt recognise it, the battery icon wont show up when it is plugged in and it doesnt turn on.

    Assuming that the battery isn't empty (and it can take up to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • N8 Battery Level Bars very inaccurate

    hi guys,
    Is it just the unit that I got or are we looking here at much wider issue?
    n8 has 7 bars reporting different battery levels. when I say "different" I mean really bizarre. I am not sure if you have noticed but in my n8, first bar on the top dissapears when battery level drops to 70%. in other words, top batery bar represents 30% of overall battery charge. now, the bottom battery bars represents just 10% of overall charge. so, 2 bottom bars equal to 20%, 1 bottom bar indicates 10% of overall charge. I am not sure if this is just me but I find this information very very misleading. why the battery indication cannot be configured in a way that represents as accurate level as possible? at the moment battery bars are not equal and one of them is a symbol of 30% and the other - opposite equals to just 10% of charge. This really looks like a fw issue. I am on 011.012
    do you experience the same issue?
    also, can the % battery level reported in the cloud when battery area is pressed be more granular? At the moment we are looking at 10% increments. any more accourate data would be much appreciated.
    thank you

    Just wondering why Nokia never even bother to fix battery status icon, they rather create an app called Battery Monitor to bypass this. What dont they just delete battery icon and replace it with Battery Monitor in update if it is that useless?
    Battery Monitor worked great in Anna, but after updating to Belle, Battery Monitor widget keeps freezing at random %. Now I have no way of knowing precisely how much life left in my N8. It just died without any warning.

  • Its out of battery and when i plug it in to charge it will charge until it turns on, and then just stops charging?

    its out of battery and when i plug it in to charge it will charge until it turns on, and then just stops charging?

    Try a resetting of your phone just to cover that base - Hold down Home and Sleep buttons for at least 10 seconds and see if the phone powers up.
    If the phone was completely dead, powering through wall socket is best approach.   I've never been able to charge off of a PC if it was completely dead.
    If all fails, bring the phone in for service since it is still covered by warranty.

  • Iphone4s shut down at battery level 30% when using 3G

    hi,
    i am gan from malaysia, iphon4s 6.0.1 user, phone age 1.5 years old
    Recently have 1 unique problem to ask for buddy helps in here. thank you 1st for all.
    my iphone4s shut down at battery level 30% when i use 3G service only, turn on 3G service to use around 5 hours to shut down my phone, from 100% - 30%.
    but, it doesnt happen when i turn on my WIFI, or use normally.
    hard reset - done..
    soft reset - done.
    itunes restore - done.
    battery calibration - done.
    battery - it seems not a battery problem because when i use WIFI, or normal use without data, i can use until 1% until phone shut down itself.
    upgrade ios 7.0.4 - the battery could drain more faster if i upgrade to this firmware.
    i have no idea, even i go for apple store, their technical helps are same with my level, except they ask me to change a new iphone, wow..
    anybody in here could help or experience this?

    anyone can help me to solve this problem?

  • Satellite P855-10G runs out of battery even when turned off

    Hi everyone,
    I have bought the Toshiba Satellite P855-10G, but im terrified because he runs out of battery even when turned off..
    Anyone knows how can i solve the issue?
    Best regards,
    Igor Tarelho

    Hi
    Access the BIOS and turn OFF the options like: Waking up on LAN and Keyboard.
    In Toshiba HW Setup I recommend disabling the USB Sleep and Charge function as well
    Both enabled options might allow discharging the battery even if the unit is OFF

  • New out of box , unable to switch on is there a problem with the battery as i thopugh it should be  partly charged.

    new out of box , unable to switch on is there a problem with the battery as i thopugh it should be  partly charged.

    Plug it in for 15 minutes. If it doesn't come on hold the HOME button (the round one) and the SLEEP button (the one on the top) at the same time until an Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). If nothing appears on the screen after 30 seconds you have a dead phone; take it back for exchange.

  • Had to replace battery which wiped out everything. restored from the cloud, but when I hook up to computer, won't sync. keeps asking if I want to re-store again. Ideas?

    Had to replace battery, which wiped out everything. Backed up from the cloud, but when I hook to computer, won't sync. Keeps asking if I want to re-store the phone.
    Ideas?

    no apple store replaced. they said there were 3 apple programs that kept crashing in background, which ran battery down cause they kept trying to re-load.
    they backed up phone to cloud, wiped out old software and replaced new software & new battery. since then won't sync with itunes on computer.

  • HT201412 My iPod 2G doesn't turn on. It is out of battery, but when I connect it to my charger it just continues to show the apple logo. It did that for 3hours straight. Please HELP!

    My iPod 2G doesn't turn on. It is out of battery, but when I connect it to my charger it just continues to show the apple logo. It did that for 3hours straight. Please HELP!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Is the iPad air meant to run out of battery even when it is charging?

    Is the iPad air meant to run out of battery even when it is charging?

    Depends on the charger. The 12 watt charger that came with the iPad should be able to charge faster than the iPad drains the battery when in use. But other chargers may not provide enough power to efficiently charge the iPad. The best way to charge any iPad is to use the charger that came with the iPad.
