HT1476 Is it okay if you charge it's battery even if it is not fully drained like 40%?

Is it okay if you charge it's battery even if it is not fully drained like 40%?

You can charge it whenever you want and as long as you want, regardless of its state of charge. It is not possible to overcharge it. There are no rules with Lithium batteries.

  • AT WHAT % OF USEAGE DO YOU CHARGE YOUR IPAD BATTERY? 30 % 20% 8%- WHEN, ALOS HO WLONG DO YOU CHARGE FORM THEA/C POWER OUTLET?

    What % of use do yo recommend to re charge your battery using a/c outlet?

    You can recharge at any %.
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W 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.

  • My Macbook Pro is not charging eventhough the battery is 95%, Is it not working ?

    My Macbook Pro is not charged even  though the battery is at 95%. This is my first Macbook therefore I dont have any knowledges about it. When I replug the Adapter, only green light appeared, no matter how many tme I try. I bought it last year therefore I dont know if the battery is dead, or someting else happen to it. Last time, I need to get a new adapter because it is not charging at all. Is there anyway I can prevent it to happen? Thank you so much for helping me.

  • Does keeping a macbook pro plugged in even when fully charged damage the battery in any way?

    Does keeping a macbook pro plugged in even when fully charged damage the battery?

    no it will not, your battery stops charging when it reaches 100%.  you can verify this if you'd like to through system report - power.
    once in a while however, it's best to use it under it's own power and charge it back up once it's down to 75% to keep the battery in optimal condition.

  • Apapter light is green, but MacBook is not fully charged.

    My MacBook's power adapter light stays green, but my computer is not fully charged, the indicator in the menu bar says 98%. I am very confused, anyone have a possible solution?

    The charging circuitry turns off once the battery is fully charged. It will come on again when the charge level drops below 95 percent. Until then the battery is fully charged so the charge indicator on the adapter will stay green.
    If your battery never attains 100 percent charge level it may be because you've never calibrated the battery.
    If you've calibrated the battery but it still will not charge fully or doesn't hold the charge, then the battery may be defective. You can have it replaced under your warranty by taking the computer to an Apple service center or calling AppleCare. Click on the Contact Support link at the bottom of this page for AppleCare's phone number.

  • HT1476 when is it best to charge the battery, when it is completly dead, almost dead or at any time you want a full chargre?

    When is it best to charge your battery for and Ipot touch 4th generation? when it is completly dead, almost dead, or any time you want full charge.

    Letting the battery completly drain is not that good. Otherwise, just charge when you want.

  • HOW MANY HOURS DID YOU CHARGE YOUR iPHONE FOR THE 1ST TIME OUT OF THE BOX?

    As the title says.
    And how soon does the battery start to finish when watching YouTube after a FULL CHARGE?
    I can watch abt 3 or 4 videos (between 2 to 10 mins long each) + searching youtube for a minute or two before I notice the FULL BATTERY starts to drain :S
    So in total lets say after 15 minutes my battery starts to go down.
    Is that normal? or is something wrong with my battery?

    I provide you a link yesterday with this and other information about the battery which answers this question so here it is again.
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/
    +Lithium-ion batteries pack in a higher power density than nickel-based batteries. This gives you a longer battery life in a lighter package, as lithium is the lightest metal. *You can also recharge a lithium-ion battery whenever convenient, without the full charge or discharge cycle necessary to keep nickel-based batteries at peak performance.*+
    Charging an iPhone battery for 15 hours doesn't accomplish anything. After the battery reaches 80%, it reverts to a trickle charge for the remaining and when at 100%, charging stops. Charging can't go past 100%.

    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 (2.5W, 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.

    yours sincerly
    jackfromsurrey

    What I am saying is ..........
    The iPhone HAS to be active making calls on the UK carrier network for the carrier to identify as "theirs" and therefore eligible for the Carrier to unlock
    The way to achieve this is to use a PAYG sim making and receiving calls to establish a customer relationship  with the Carrier and then follow the Carrier's process to unlock
    With a PAYG it usually means adding a specified (by the carrier ) amount  usually £15 /£20 depending on the carrier
    This is how O2 function and according to Gemma  this is how Vodafone work
