Increase in battery percent.

Does any one observed increase in battery percentage after restarting iPad mini.
I observed
Before restart 98%
After restart 100%

It's just probably within the tolerance of the % reading.
Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
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.)
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.

  • 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...

  • How to increase your battery health - anyone with similar experiences?

    this is my very own self made instruction of "how to increase your battery health"
    it is the procedure how i have done it serverall times on my powerbook g4 12".
    my stats: 374 cycles, health 86% (3790 of 4400mAh)
    age of my mac: 57month (battery bit newer)
    **if you to try this: it is on your own risk!**
    **this may not be suitable for mac newbies**
    **be sure to read this twice before you do it once!**
    you will need:
    -a pocket lamp or comparable light (to see anything on your sreen when it is dark --> light from the back through apple logo)
    -coconutbattery (coconut-flavour.com/coconutbattery) or comparable programm to track your battery information in realtime
    -activity monitor
    -cool enviroment (to ensure your fans don't have to work that much)
    -some time and patience
    the intructions:
    step1: load your mac until the orange light turns green
    step2: disconnect the power adapter
    step3: use your mac until 15-25% battery life (track this information in your menu bar)
    step4: slow down your activities. the order of the following actions depend on your usage of your mac:
    __close programms that use lots of cpu/gpu to ensure the fans slow down to 0rpm (!!)
    __turn off everything that needs battery power: airport / bluetooth / speakers / etc.
    __eject dvd or cd
    __close all programms with important data
    __eject idisk / .dmg files in your finder (this is not only a matter of data security)
    __dissonnected from peripherals such as ethernet / internet / mouse / keyboard
    __use lower brightness level
    __open activity monitor to ensure that your hard drive activity is very low, may be you need to close more active programms, close activity monitor when hard drive activity is very low
    __open system preferences >> energy saver preferences >> choose longest battery life
    when your are ready with those actions go on and ensure you are able to connect to power adapter with your mac quickly (be able to charge - don't do it yet!)
    step5: be patient. now it should take some time until your battery level goes down to 3-5%
    now there should be no programm running.
    do not open any programm now!
    do not have a look at your dashboard!
    now your mac should be really quiet:
    -no fans (0rpm!)
    -nearly no hard drive activity!!
    -->> if this not the case break go on with step 11&12, try again in a week or two
    -->> if you are ready go on with step6
    step6: open coconutbattery und use the lowest brightness level
    play with your trackpad to ensure your screensaver won't start. waste time until you are at 1-2% battery life.
    step7: take your lamp and spot through the transperent apple logo, position your coconut battery window somehow that you can see the current battery charge und the maxium battery charge in the spot of your lamp through the apple logo.
    step8: go from the lowest brightness level to the level under the lowest brightness level (a dark screen)
    step9: watch your current battery charge carefully und keep on playing with your trackpad to ensure your screensaver won't start.
    step10: there is kind of battery buffer made of approximately 1% (once when my "current battery charge" was 3624mAh and this kind of buffer was at 36mAh)
    to empty this kind of battery buffer takes much longer as you might expect!
    when your current battery charge turns under this kind of battery buffer, your maximum battery charge should change. hopefully it is higher or stays the same. when it is lower now: i'm sorry - i have warned you. may be you have to go through this 'how to' more carefully!?
    step11: plug in your power adapter before the battery is cero!
    step12: load until the orange light turns green
    step13: if it was helpful do not repeat it more than once a week, better once a month

    anyone with similar experiences about increasing battery health!?
    (yes, i'm sorry for my poor english, i've tried my best)

    Me too! My battery lasts for 10 minutes. It is awful and I am on my 4th power adapter since they keep breaking too.
    From coconut battery: Maximum battery charge 310mah, original 4400, age of mac 45 months, 140 cycles.
    From system profile:
    Battery Installed: Yes
    First low level warning: No
    Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 310
    Remaining Capacity (mAh): 213
    Amperage (mA): -1205
    Voltage (mV): 11557

    Hi,
    I asssume it's a laptop!
    1st I would run it right down & then do a full recharge, then run it down again + a full recharge..
    Check that you do not have any apps running in the background, reset PRAM..
    When all's done I usually run a movie & time how long the battery lasts..if after that & no joy call Apple Help..

  • Two tier battery percent level indication

    My phone behaves as though there are two different battery levels, (about 30% different) and it switches between them.
    So that sometimes I perceive an apparently rapid drop, and sometimes I see an increase in level without any charging.
    It may stay in either mode for a few days or a few hours.
    Last example: last night it was showing 35% with 1 day 11 hrs since last charge.
    Two hours later it had shut down completely.
    Plugged in, red bar, five minutes later it wakes up and shows 30% !
    Tried restoring without effect.
    Anyone the same or any input.

    I agree. For the most part a lot of battery issues can be avoided if you are aware of the various symptoms. The best place for support on this topic would have to be apple.com/batteries/iphone.html. If you follow these tips you should notice an increase in battery performance. As well I always default to restarting, powering down properly-not resetting, my phone after every App install or update. I would have to say that since I have become religious about this I have not had a single App crash, great battery life, and better overall user experience.
    Hope this helps. Your issue does appear to be software and maybe a fresh restore as new iPhone could help.

  • Battery percent and vibrate

    I turned off my iPhone yesterday and straight back on, this isn't something I regularly do and ever since then my battery percent won't show even though i'm pressing the button to make it show. Also the vibration won't turn off and keeps vibrating every time I get a message even though i've tried to turn it off

    Hello Bradley,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For initial troubleshooting on this issue I'd like you to please reset your iPhone.

  • IPhone 5s iOS 8.1.2 turning off at random battery percents?

    For Christmas i was lucky enough to receive and iPhone 5s, upgrading from my 2 year old iPhone 4s which had a terrible battery life and numerous other glitches. All excited on Christmas day i restored my brand new iPhone 5s from the back up of my old iPhone 4s, then on that very day, my phone died at 55%, tried turning it back on and it indicated that i needed to plug it into a charger. i waited a minute, tried turning it back on, and it worked, showing that it had 53% left? so i continued to use my new phone, i was playing music out load and using Facebook messenger, then again it suddenly died, this time at 48%, tried the same method mentioned previously with the exact same result.
    Searching the internet for possible solutions, i tried a "DFU Restore". DFU stands for device firmware update. This did not provide any fix to the battery issue, the following day it suddenly shut down at 60%. I again tried a "DFU Restore" only this time i did not restore it from a backup, the first DFU "Restore" i restored it from the backup of the phone, the second time i didn't wondering if the issue was related to the backup. The second time worked, at least for a few days, then again it suddenly shut down with plenty of percent left.
    In Summary:
    My Brand new iPhone 5s with the latest iOS is randomly shutting down with plenty of percent left and then requires either charging to turn back on OR wait a minute or so and it will be able to be turned back on, only for the same thing to happen a minute later.
    I do not think my phone is incorrectly reading the battery level as it seems to be used at a normal rate.
    I have Tried:
    Restore
    "DFU Restore"
    Draining battery to 0% and charging to 100%
    Verbally abusing my iPhone
    All with no fix to my problem
    I am asking for advice, what else should i do? is their a fix that i don't know of? should i replace the battery? i don't know what else to do....

    You should get your phone checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store next to your place.
    You can also contact Apple Support and talk to them. They can check the battery online, visit this page to do that:

  • 3.1.3 battery percent gone crazy

    BRAND NEW 3GS 16 gig, version 3.1.2, 2 days old, IS NOT JAIL BROKEN!! HERE is what happens, I turn it off while battery at 25 percent, then power back on, shows 12 percent, and LOW BAT DISMISS window pops up. If I let it sit for 3 seconds, the percent will jump back up to 25 percent on its own!! My wifes will be at 59 upon power down, then at 42 upon powering on, then CORRECTS itself after 3 seconds??? MUST BE a 3.1.3 gliche! I bought 2 BRAND NEW 3gs, 2 days old, BOTH of them were fine before the 3.1.3, now, they BOTH have this battery percentage problem!! PS Apple, I paid $397 x 2 for them (plus a contract extension), I WANT THIS FIXED or they are goin back to Walmart!! I have 15 days to return them... Why the HE_ _ can't you guys put a ROLL BACK feature on Itunes?!? Apple is putting WAY to much into this "security" thing, worried SOMEONE might get over on them..

    I have noticed mine doing this rarely and I'm sure mine done it before 3.1.3. But has you say 'it corrects itself after 3 seconds' so I cannot see why it is a problem . The iPhone is probably calculating the correct battery level after the switch on and the 3 seconds is this calculating process.

  • What is the best way to increase my battery's lifetime?

    Hi everyone,
    I have a MacBook Pro 13-inch: 2.53GHz, this is my . And I can surely say....it is a million times better than PC...In fact, now I really realized that PC *****...I loved my mac since the first time a saw it...
    Well here goes my question: I use my notebook almost all day long. Asking for tips on how I should use my battery in a way to increase its lifetime for a salesman on a mac's strore he said that the best way to do this is by recharging my battery when its reach nearly 25% and then stop recharging in more or less 97% and i've been doing it since then. He said to me that keep my notebook with the power cord on all the day it's not a good idea. What should I do?Am I doing right?
    Thanks

    Fine to run on AC with the battery charged much of the time, just not all the time (i.e. not for days/weeks). Best to run on battery for an hour or two per day, totaling 1-2 cycles per week.

  • Increasing ram battery

    hello
    does increasing the speed of the ram decrease the battery life of a laptop because mine was upgraded to 1gb

    yes you are alright because and electronic device needs supply which already loaded on power battery,and as much as you use more capacity on these rams the power consumption will raise.

  • IPhone 6 Plus Battery percent

    I noticed on mine when it hits around 5 or 3 % it will shut off and require a charge, shouldn't it do that at 1 %?? How can you refresh battery or fix issue ?

    Running down your battery below that level can damage your battery, but the battery can be calibrated, check this thread and the answer by Lawrence Finsh:
    iPhone 5 battery dies at 5 percent
    Might also be interesting to check the links provided by Texas Mac Man in this post about battery life:
