HT4623 My ipad is not holding its charge.  A 100% charge will only last a half day depending how much I use it

My ipad in not holding its charge.  A 100% will only last a half of a day depending on how long I use it.  2yrs in december

batteries can only hold a full charge for so many years and you say yours is almost 2 years out.  Also, of course battery time will fluctuate depending on how you use it.

  • IPad does not hold a charge. Anyone know why?

    My ipad does not hold a charge.  I charged it yesterday and didnt use it at all today plus I even shut it down all the way not just sleep. 

    I doubt that anyone here, with the limited knowledge of how you actually use your device, could ever do more than hazard a guess. Your power adapter is bad and not charging properly .... It is possible that the battery indicator is giving you an incorrect reading and that the iPad has more battery power left than it shows on the meter, but if it shuts down on its own after less than say - 6 hours - on a full charge - then something is wrong.

    You may want to read both articles and make your own determination. You can always try restoring the device and see if that helps. Read this for help.

    You could try a hard reset and see if that helps at all.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • IPod not holding its charge

    I have had my iPod colour 60gb model for just over a month now and all of a sudden the battery is not holding its charge. It is literally going from full to empty in minutes. Anyone else experienced this?

    I had a similar problem with a mini, (no not the car, the ipod!) and did a reset and then it held the charge next time.

  • Battery not holding its charge

    My iPad battery is not holding its charge

    How long does it stay charged?
    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or - Recalibrate the battery. See link below.
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) 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.
    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
    http://www.macblend.com/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.

  • Ipad battery not holding a charge

    My ipad 2 is not holding a battery charge. I have let the battery completly drain and have charged it using the the cord that I recieved when I bought it, over night, (8hrs +). I have owned my ipad for over 2 yrs. and have never had any problem recharging it until now! Any suggestions?

    Have you tried using a different charger? Haven't heard of an iPad battery going bad... however, the chargers do quite regularly from a lot of use.
    Let me know if that helps, or if not...

  • Iphone 5 not holding its charge

    My iphone 5 looses its charge quickly without being used. I had it on the charger all night and it was only at 94%. It looses its charge in just a few hours with out use. It has just a couple of apps open.

    There are a couple possibilities. What have you done so far to try to resolve this?
    If you haven't already done so, first reset your iPhone (hold the Home &amp; Sleep/Wake buttons until the Apple logo appears).  If that doesn't help, connect your iPhone to iTunes, and make a full backup, then hit the "restore" button to re-download the iOS file from Apple and restores your machine with it.  After restoring your backup, if the problem still exists, then Try restoring as a new device to see if the problem persists.  If so, then your next step would be to try a Genius Bar appointment to see if the battery is just bad.  If you are still under warranty (or Apple Care) then it might be a free replacement, otherwise it might be as high as an out of warranty $269 replacement.

  • Why does my iPad 1 not hold a charge

    For past couple of days ipad1 won't hold it's charge for more than an hour or so, charged it overnight and seemed to be ok but quickly drained. Any advice would be welcome.

    Standard troubleshooting...
    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    If still a problem restore with your backup.
    If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue, i.e. battery.

  • Wot can i do about my iphone not holding its charge and getting very hot

  • Ipad does not hold charge

    After upgrading my Ipad to the new system, when i charge it , Ipad does not hold the charge. It charges 100% but when I unplug it charge goes to zero.

    Iaiacomi-
    Of course it is possible your battery has died.
    It is also possible the iPad's battery measurement system is out of calibration.  If that is the case, continue using it until it stops.  Then charge it to 100 percent again using the wall charger.  That should recalibrate the iPad's battery monitor.
    If that does not help, you can try resetting (rebooting) the iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

  • After being dropped in water my Ipod will only work when hooked up to the computer or docking station.  It will not hold a charge.  What do I need to do?

    My son dropped his Ipod in some water, we put in a bag of rice overnight and it works fine when connected to the computer or docking statioon but it will not hold its charge once it is off the cable & not hooked up, so he cannot listen to it unhooked..  Any suggestions on what to do?  Thanks!!

    Take it to an Apple store. Most likely you will have to get a replacement for which you will be charged the replacement fee.
    Rice only absorbs water. But it cannot prevent damage to the device.
