IPad 2 battery stuck at 60%.  Showing fully charged plug symbol.

I got an iPad 2 at the Apple store today. When I got it home I plugged it into my MBP and synced it. At this point the battery status indicator was at 75% and the fully charged symbol (electrical plug) was displayed. I tried charging it for a while and nothing changed. At this point I unplugged it to drain some of the battery off to see if this would change anything. Drained it to 60% then plugged it in again. Still nothing. Stuck at 60% with the fully charged symbol displayed. I've tried power cycling it and doing a hard reset with the home & power button. Any ideas?

Your iPad won't charge or it doesn't show it's charging in the status? I downloaded the battery doctor app like was suggested above, and it shows that it is charging. It's probably just a software thing that got messed up with the update...expect another update to fix that soon?

  • Battery is dead, but Shows fully charged w/AC

    I am having a strange problem... My battery is dead and won' actually charge. When I plug it in to the AC charger, it simply shows that the battery is fully charged. As soon as I unplug the charger, the Ipod instantly zaps off. I cannot get anything when I have it plug ged to USB. Computer doesn't recognize anything and the Ipod shows a battery icon with a crossed-out circle and the words "Plas Wait. Very low battery." Then there is the Apple wait spinning thing below. But, I never get past this screen.
    So this all causes me to not sync my Ipod. The Ipod is fully functioning when plugged via AC charger, but as soon as it leaves it's life support, it is DEAD.
    Please help me find the solution to this problem. It will save me a big headache, trust me!

    I'm having the exact same problem, any help would be very much appreciated.

  • HT2188 my ipad is stuck on itunes  showing the usb lead and cant get off it touch the screen nothing happens

    my ipad is stuck on itune showing the usb cable but cant get it off

    After a trip to the Apple Store with this problem, I found out that USB connections have different levels of power.  Try changing USB ports, then look for iTunes to recognize the iPad is connected.  Good luck!

    Hello rj_23_sv,
    I would be be concerned too if I was not able to update my iPhone.  If you have not resolved the issue, I recommend following article for an issue like this:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    As always, it is a good idea to create a backup before hand:

  • Battery indicator showing fully charged when plugged in but battery percentage is not

    I've had the iPhone 5 for about 6 months now and starting about a week ago the battery started messing up.  I plug in my phone to charge and the indicator at the top right shows the fully charged indicator when the battery percentage is clearly not 100%.  Randomly it will switch to the charging indicator and actually charge but otherwise it stays like that and just continues to lose battery while it is plugged in.  I've tried my friend's charger and it still does the same thing so it's not the charger that is malfunctioning. 

    Seems like battery is faulty. Make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

  • Battery issue, suddenly not charging, showing fully charged

    I've not had any performance issues with my battery until suddenly two days ago, it stated that it was all out of power after staying in my pocked unused a couple of hours.
    I have tried charging my iPod video using both a socket charger and using USB on two different macs, without any acctual charging happening. The iPod states that it is fully charged and shows the "cable-symbol", but drains after just a couple of seconds after I reconnect it.
    However, both of my mac's recognize the iPod as usual. I have tried to restore it without any results. I have also tried to run the automated diagnostics mode with "green screen" and completed as a result. The manual mode is hard to interperet.
    Could this be a logic card-failure, rather than a battery failure? I have yet to read about sudden battery death.

    Hello LorangDahl,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    It's really hard to tell unless you have it looked at either by Apple or a third party repair company. The problem could be the battery itself or with the logic board itself. I suggest you send it in somewhere to be looked at or where they can and will perform a free diagnostics test.
    Other than that, I don't think there is too much you can really do about it. Here is one such third party company you could look at.

  • HT4060 Is it true you hve to let the IPad battery get real low before you charge it?

    I have been told that if I charge the iPad when it is at 1/2 charge that the iPad will start to remember that it needs charged again. I was told the iPad will think it is a in a lower charge than it actually is.  So if I charge it every day at 1/2 charge by the time it gets to 1/2 charge, it will slow down or may not work.  This doesn't make any sense to me.  If full, is 100%  50% 20% why would the iPad think it needed charged when it was at half charge.  Does it have a  mind. Does it cause it to think in that position if I charge it at 1/2 charge? Does it sinc in that spot?  Hope you understand what I am trying to tell you.  My son is good with the computer electronics but this has me stumped?
    Thank You, Judy Venema

    FYI
    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.

  • IPhone 3G and OS 3.0 doesn't show fully charged in iTunes

    Since I upgraded my iPhone 3G to OS 3.0, when it is plugged into the computer and iTunes is running, there is no longer an indication (a little plug) when the phone is fully charged. The indication appears on the phone, but not in iTunes. This worked before the upgrade.

    I got tired of waiting for an answer from Apple here and I called support yesterday. They told me that it is documented that the "plug" will show up when the device is fully charged, but it may take as long as half an hour. I am quite certain that this is not the way it used to be, and I put in a request for this to be fixed (whistling into the wind!). I will close this thread in a day or two.

  • Will it hurt my iPad battery if I use it while its plugged up to charge

    Will it hurt my iPad battery if I continue to use my ipad while its charging?

    Absolutely not! I read on my iPad while it is plugged in all the time. It doesn't care one way or t'other.

  • Why is my battery dying when it is fully charged

    Can anyone tell me why my battery keeps dying on me when it's fully charged!!!!

    You didn't state how old your device is. Mine is 3 years old and the battery is approaching its lifetime amount of charge cycles, about 1000 I believe. It will discharge in about 30 minutes if I continuously download data, such as an FM internet stream. Until I purchase a new 4S, I connect my iPhone 3G to a Richard Solo battery while listening to my favorite FM station during my daily walk.

  • My ipad just died.  It was fully charged.  Is it the battery?

    I can't even turn the thing on.  Tried in vain to contact support, but have to pay $29 for a single service question.  According to the warranty, they will only replace a battery with 50% or more power.  Is it worth the $99 service fee or just buy a replacement battery.  Could it be something else?

    Did you try a reset?
    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.
