No. Don't do this more than necessary, or you'll reduce the lifespan of your battery. Charge the iPad as often as possible/convenient. See:

    I agree. I HATE having to wait for the battery to charge on my new Palms and Macs before using them - I guess GOD teaches us patience in strange ways (hee, hee).

  • What is the best way to charge the ipod

    Hey guys im sure there is 1000s of these posts but i couldnt find them, so which is the best way to charge my ipod video? using a wall adapter or usb, or it doesnt matter, i have been told with some players using usb kills the battry life.

    i have been told with some players using usb kills the battry life.
    It would do just as much damage (if any) if you were hooked up to a wall outlet.
    Both of them to me are the same. They both charge about the same time and last about the same.

  • Correct way to charge the battery

    I apologize if I'm repeating a question.  In the manual for the Palm Pre Plus, it states that you're able to let the battery charge overnight.  My phone only takes about an hour to fully charge from 20 percent.  I'm afraid if I let the battery charge any longer than that I run the risk of overcharging and damaging the battery, which was the situation with my previous cell phones with lithium batteries.
    Any information would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you very  much.

    Here are a few tips for extending battery life:
    Avoid exposing the battery to extreme heat and cold.
    For the first 3 charge cycles, fully charge the battery overnight and allow it to fully discharge before recharging (battery conditioning).
    Charge and re-condition a battery after an extended idle period.
    A Lithium-ion battery may be damaged by extensive overcharging (continuously on a charger for more than 24 hours).
    Keep the phone, batteries, and the contact terminals clean. The contacts can easily be cleaned with a pencil eraser.
    Use the battery. If possible, avoid letting your battery sit idle for long periods of time.
    Use only the phone options and accessories that are really needed.

  • The best way to charge iPad battery?

    I have been searching for the best to charge an iPad battery and found this bit of information on www.apple.com/batteries
    "A charge cycle means using all of 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% of original battery capacity. As with other rechargeable batteries, you may eventually need to replace your battery."
    According to this information whatever the charging behaviour is, it will likely not affect the battery lifespan. Because one complete cycle is needed to affect it and one charge does not mean one charging cycle (according to the article).
    I'm not a battery expert, so can someone confirm that this is correct?

    It is correct. Lithium ion batteries are very accomodating, and really don't min what you do, as long as they are fed from time to time.

  • What and how is the best way to keep the battery strong?

    Im new to owning a Macbook Pro and I was wondering how to make sure the battery stays strong?

    No: draining to near 0% is not advisable. It's best to charge recharging at 20%:
    http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/04/ask-ars-the-best-way-to-use-a-lithium-ion -battery-redux/
    For the rest: use it as you please. But don't forget to use the battery every now and then.

  • What's The Best Way to Charge The Touch?

    I've been just playing with the touch and its features all day until the battery drops down to below 10% and pretty much shut itself off, and then I plug it in for about 3 hours for a full charge. Is this a good method?
    Oh and btw, Ive been cranking about 3 hours of wifi life on mines, which isnt all to bad considering that even with a laptop Im lucky to get 1 full hour!

    With any device with a Lithium-Ion or Lithium-Polymer battery, it's best to keep it "topped off" rather than letting it frequently run all the way down. Such batteries only have a limited number of charge cycles, so the more you allow it to run completely down, the shorter the battery life will probably be. So while you should just use it as you need to and don't worry too much about it, don't deliberately run the battery down regularly. For more information, see Apple's iPod Battery FAQ.

    Whatever you do in terms of charging will not destroy your iPod.
    Many people charge when it's convenient. Others just connect the iPod for syncing to the computer and leave it charging overnight, regardless of the ramaining charge level. Life of modern batteries is measured in full charge cycles. A charge cycle is either a full charge or any combination of small charges that adds up to 100% charge.
    The only real recommendations I've seen (including from Apple) is to keep the batteries away from heat and have a full charge once a month. For this, discharge the battery to about 20%, then fully charge.

  • What is the best way to preserve your battery?

    I'm new to macs and I would like to know the best way to prolong my battery life, is it better to keep it plugged in while you can and disconnect it only when necessary or is it better to let your battery run down then fully charge it again.

    See Apple - Batteries and About Notebook Batteries
    This is especially important:
    Standard Maintenance
    For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally. Apple does not recommend leaving your portable plugged in all the time.
    Apple recommends charging and discharging its battery at least once per month.
