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.

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.

Battery shows charging but stuck on 28% and does not hold charge

i am using HP DV6-6107tx, i got a new extended battery from anker which seemed to be running fine untill it discharged while i was playing watch dogs.
now my laptop wouldn't power on just on the battery, everything works fine if it is on charging, but the battery does not hold charge and my system powers off immediately on removing AC adapter. the battery shows "28% Charging" but does not increase or decrease the percentage even after hours of charging both while system is on and off.
i checked the battery in battery test from HP Support Assistant and it says that the battery status is ok, now i have tried the below methods with no luck :
power off and press power button methods.
uninstall and reinstall battery from device manager methods.
battery check from HP Assistant.
updating Bios to F.1b method.
updating the HP Support Assistant.
and all the other methods i could think of or read on HP's site.
can anyone guide me as to what is the issue here ? i don't have another machine to test my battery on, the charging lights are fine except that the light does not change color which it did on full charging the battery. i did try on 2 different adapters.
now if it were a motherboard or IC issue, would it not have said 'not charging' in windows ? in my case it says charging.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, M_Bilal
Welcome to the HP Forums.
That you for provided such a detailed post with what you've already completed, for the issue with your battery. I will try to guide you further.
I would like to provide you further documents for troubleshooting, but you've essentially completed what I have for this issue. The only step left, would be to test the battery.
You can do this with another battery, or in another notebook. I know you mention another machine, but if you know someone who does or someone who has a compatible battery. This would test that. You could even see if a local computer shop could test it.
The reason for this, is if the battery is the problem, it's much easier and more affordable replacement. Also, you mention it being new, might have warranty.
The other possible cause to the issue you've touched on, that would be the system board. Testing the above, would just confirm if this is the problem or not. From there you could decide on what you'd like to do.
I know, there really aren't many suggestions here, but I hope this can provide you with the next step.
Let me know how things go, with the route you choose to troubleshoot.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

8830 Battery does not hold charge

8830 does not hold charge even after 12 hours of charging. I cannot find new battery in any store, I have tried Verizon, Best Buy, and Radio Shack. Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have seen the batteries at BestBuy, perhaps not yours.
You can buy another same battery at another carrier, Tmobile or ATT as well.
Get the 88XX - Green (lime) (C-X2) - 900mAh <<--is that the color of your present battery?

My iPod Classic 120GB is clicking and not turning on. It has been charged but does not hold charge. I am not able to restore factory settings. Error code and have tried troubleshooting options without success. Thoughts?

My iPod Classic 120GB makes a clicking noise when syncing with iTunes and will not sync. It will not turn on at this time and has been charged but does not hold the charge. After trying to sync, iTunes states that iPod must be restored. Have tried to do this but not successful, I receive an error code and have done the troubleshooting steps for the error and I am still not able to sync or use my iPod. HELP?

Hi mafiose15,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
You can find the instructions in this article:

My new Iphone's battery does not hold charge for long; do you have the same problem?

Greetings, I had a new iphone 4S - bought March 2013, died suddenly September 2013. Iphone replaced by a new one, which seemed to work fine. Suddenly, noticed three days ago that the battery does not hold, even for one day, even with very little use. Charged battery yesterday morning, as it was dead, used phone a few times during the day, still had half batery full at bed time; this morning there was no battery at all - had discharged completely overnight doing nothing. Has anyone had this problem?
It means that I will have to travel a long way to the nearest store to have it looked at. Had already done this last September to replace a dead phone. One would have expected better quality and reliability from a Company like Apple.

Sounds like the battery needs replacing. Bring the phone to Apple for battery diagnostics.

Ipad does not display charging after ios 6 upgrade plugged in

After upgrading to iOS 6 OTA my iPad does not appear to be charging when plugged in using the default charging cable plugged into the AC outlet. The battery icon has a lightning bolt through it as if it is not plugged in.
I did a reset and this did not solve it.

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
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.

New Battery does NOT hold Charge

I just received my new battery from the Battery Exchange Program - the battery is actually worse than my original, it is still HOT, and holds a charge for about 20 minutes - maybe 30 at the most - ?
What do I do? Does anyone else have this problem??
thanks, Mark

My replacement battery did not even last one calibration cycle, as it never held a charge again at all.
Here is a link to another thread. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=678318&tstart=0
Both of ours were replaced for a very similar issue, so it may be worth a try to give AppleCare a call.
If you already sent the recalled battery back, get a case I.D. from AppleCare for the defective replacement battery. If possible, ask someone at your local Apple store if they have any in stock instead of waiting for Apple to expidite one to you. Apple retail staff are able to expidite the exchage at the store level, but you must have a case I.D., since it is not the recalled battery they are replacing. I only suggest this route, because there is an estimated four to six week wait for replacement replacement batteries; however, it only took a little over three weeks for mine to ship.
I hope this reply helps provide some direction!

Ipod does not hold charge

My iPod Classic only holds a charge for 10 minutes. Can this be repaired?

How old is the iPod? Perhaps the battery may just be worn out and in need of replacement. How are you trying to charge the iPod?

Hi Vincent,
Take a look at this thread below. It may help. This may be an issue with your AC adaptor and not the battery.

IPad does not keep charge

I have first iPad. It won't keep its charge. Works for a short time and then screen goes black. If I reset apple comes up and works for a few minutes.

Take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs test it for you.

IShuffle does not hold charge, brand new one

I used this one only twice, then when connected to Mac, the light turns green in about 5 seconds, and stay green for about 15 hours while connected to Mac, as soon as I removed it from Mac and turn it on to listen, the light will not turn green, it remain off. I try to charge the battery on both Mac Pro and MBP, the results are the same. Shall I return it? Seems like the battery is not working. How to return it? Can I return it to the Apple store that I bought it for another one?

I returned it to the Apple store, the sale clerk brought it to the rear and had a technician wipe the media clean and did something and it works again, I wanted to find out how he did it, but the sale clerk said the technician is busy and I was unable to find out what he did, I am afraid I will have the same problem pretty soon and have to go to the store again.
