Ipad 2 charge time
My wife had had her iPad 2 since Christmas 2011, however I am soon to "inherit" it and I've noticed that it takes much longer to charge than I believe it should. I've searched the net and these forums but no one seems to have such a severe case as I'm experiencing. Last night the iPad 2 was down to 18% charge and was plugged in to charge at approx 22:00. This morning at 08:00 the iPad 2 is still only at 90%, after 10 hours charging! For the record I'm using an official Apple plug and charge cable and this is in UK. Can anyone please tell me if this is normal? All my searches on the internet seemed to indicate that from 0% to 100% should take anywhere between 5 and 7 hours.
Thanks
I'll give that a try thanks, however it's not reporting the wrong battery status (I know about that particular issue as it happns to my iPhone every now and again).The iPad 2 is still charging and is now at 95% after another hour or so. I'll let it get to 100% then will let it totally drain before recharging and I'll see how long that takes. At the moment it's frustrating that even an overnight charge doesn't fully charge it!
Also, my wife uses the iPad 2 a lot and she tells me that it regularly has the battery run down to 0 (turns itself off) before then being recharged.

What is the Charging time for 4th generation iPad when fully discharged?
Hi,
I just want to know the 4th generation iPad charging time with 12 volts Charger when fully discharged?
Thanks,
SrinivasApple does not publish charging times with various sources, but usually a few hours, like 4-6 hours. If you charge it overnight you won't notice how long it takes.

Hi All,
I have had my iPad 3 since Feb 2012 and have always commented on it's slowness to charge. I was just wondering if it's meant to take 6 hours plus to charge to 100% or if this is a bit excessive?
As it has always done it, I have never really thought of it but a lot of my friends are now commenting that it's a really long time and it shouldn't take that long.
Thanks,
ClaireThe 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%.

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.

I recently got an extension cord for my ipad charger and the first time I used it it worked and now when I plug it in to my ipad It doesn't do anything. What do I do?
I think that we all understood what you meant. If the extension cord is no longer working, then return it.
We are all trying to tell you that you can plug the power block into a standard household extension cord - using the short cord that came with the iPad - and there is no need for the extension cord that you bought.

I need ur help..i have to unplug and plug the charging pin to my ipad many times until i cam see the icon on the upper right that ia alrdy charging..i often see 'not charging' message many times before it will charge succesfully..need ur help guys.thanka
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.

Hello,
I'm going to buy an iPad 4G WiFi the next week. But I'd like to know the charging time, because the six hours that the 3G takes is too long!
Does it takes 4 hours like the iPad 2 or longer?
I mean charging time without using the iPad.
Thanks and greetings from Spain!Demo wrote:

Two hours! It takes my iPad 3 about 5-6 hours for a full charge from about 5% on the battery indicator. This is using the power adapter and plugged into a wall socket.
You have the super iPad3 power adapter I suppose.
Believe it or not, my iPad 3 doesn't take more than 2 hours to charge. I bought it on Oct 3rd, perhaps Apple gave me a lemon

Hi have bought a new iPad 4th Generation. it takes more than 3 hrs to full charge even when i use its 10W adapter supplied with box. How much time exactly iPad takes to full charge??
That's a lot faster than most users report. Usually overnight.

HT5423 How many hours is the charging time of the iPad 4th gen?
I am charging my ipad, & noticed that its been 9 hours & still its 90 percent. I just wanna know, how many hours is the charging time of an iPad before it gets 100% full? & is it normal that the charger become hot? Hope someone can answer this question. Thank u.
Chargers, and the unit being charged where the battery is located, will get warm during charging...charging does work on the battery. If it is hot or too hot to handle then you need to decide if it is too uncomfortable and needs to be checked at the Apple store genius bar.
Nine hours is a long time to charge, but if you discharged all the way it can take 4-8 hours to fully charge.
If the charger is getting very hot and taking a long time to charge you may want to take it to the genius bar and have it checked by the techs. -
Whats the average charging time for the ipad air?
just charged a new ipad air for the first time and it took 11 hours, is that normal???
You can increase the speed of the charge if you turn off all Blue Tooth and Wi-fy and leave it in Air plane mode. It really made a huge difference in my charging time, even if I was reading a book on it. If you don't need Blue Tooth leave it off.

My iPad will not charge from the wall outlet or the USB. I also used three different chargers, as well as rebooting my iPad several times.
Then it's time to make an appointment at your Apple Genius Bar at your Apple Store. Apple will check it out and if it's defective and still in waranty (you don't say which model you have), it will be replaced.

Can I use the iPad charger as a live USB hub?
If i was to use my iPad charger (after removing the cable), as a live USB hub for my external speakers, would that cause damage to the charger? Would this set up work? I've blown up a mac charger before with these experiments, don't wanna do another.
The problems with the Apple Maps app were overblown. Yes, there were some isolated accuracy and direction issues when it was released, but Apple has made a lot of improvement since then. I use it on my iPhone all the time and have yet had problems. It doesn't always choose the same route I would have chosen, but that's with all navigation apps.
