IPad mini's battery

Hi guys!
I asked a question that many people ask on the internet ... what to do in the first use of the IPad?
I often use computers, telephones and other but always the same question: what to charge the battery and then drain completely before recharging it again? Or what to turn the ipad then fully drain the battery before fully charge?
Wholesale: What to do in the first use of the iPad?
Thx !

  • Does the 12 Watt USB adapter hurt the iPad mini's battery in any way?

    Hey. I am looking to buy a 12 watt USB power adapter because my iPad mini takes about 8-12 hours to do a full charge with the 5 watt that was included. Does the 12 watt adapter hurt the battery of the iPad mini in any particular way? (i.e. battery life/battery health) Thanks o:

    I wouldn't use anything different to the accessories that Apple includes in the packages.

  • IPad mini retina battery life for games vs. standby?

    I bought a new iPad mini retina with wifi a few days ago and the battery seems to be draining very fast. While playing a word game, the battery drained about 20% in 60 minutes (from 80% to 61%) .  Is this normal for light gaming?
    On my sister's original iPad mini, the same game doesn't seem to have the same affect.
    Also, last night, after doing a full charge, I unplugged the unit and powered down at about 99% to 97%. This morning it was at 92%.  Is this normal also?

    Mine lost Almost ALL of its power overnight! So I turned off Bluetooth, and location services and it is Loosing less power overnight but still loosing 10 -30% overnight.

  • Why my ipad mini no battery indicator when charging it off

And maybe it is from the ipad charging hole it self, did you drop it or any thing ? Because there is a problem and you need to fix it ,,,, hope i helped you

  • Does anyone have battery problems with iPad mini retina?

    I am noticing that there may be an issue with my iPad Mini Retina battery.
    I will put to charge at night and in the morning it will say it is at 23% when I actually unplug it
    it changes to 100 or 93%.
    Is this happening to anyone else.
    Could it be I use it too much???
    It is only 1 year old.

    The same thing happened to me. I think what happens is that the OS update starts ALL of your apps running in the background and burns through th battery....
    I don't see that as causing the issue though.  Plain fact is that only a very few apps can truly RUN in the background (i.e. execute some task, like playing music).  Most apps in the recent tasks bar are suspended (similar to a UNIX halt state), not running, since the iOS only supports a very limited sort of multitasking and most apps do not have any code that can, in fact, run in the background.
    So, for those experiencing the reduced battery life, I think something else must be happening, although I don't know what since my battery life has been excellent with all the upgrades.  Just saying that I'd suspect some other cause for those with the problem.

  • How low can ipad mini battery go before it needs to be charged?

    How low can an ipad mini's battery go before It should be charged? I just received this for Christmas and want to make sure I take care of it properly. Thanks

    Start with this and see of it will start up. Unplug it from the charger before you do this.
    Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. See if the iPad starts up.

  • Is it ok to use a 4.8w adapter for my iPad mini?

    My iPad mini's 5w adapter is broken, and I made a quick-fix solution by getting the 4.8w adapter from my phone and using that instead. Is this okay or would this lead to problems with my iPad mini's battery life?
    Thanks!

    ohms law
    state
    Watt = Volt * Amps
    in this case Volts are always 5
    a device draw amps out of the charger as much as it was build for or as much as the charger can provide
    if the charger can provide more amps and the device can draw as much charging will be faster and the device is likely to heat up a bit more
    if a charger can provide a lot of amps maybe 10Amps which would mean 50Watt
    then the device you charge will only draw as much as it was build to making the 50watt charger no better then a 12Watt if that is as much as the device can draw out

  • I bought a ipad mini online from the apple store. His battery doesn't last more than 6h. I return it back to them they send me a new one, but the problem is same. Battery doesn't last more than 5-6h!

    I have purchased a iPad mini online from the Apple store. Since day one I had 2 issues with it. First is that the battery life doesn't last more than 5-6h active usage, and the second one is with the wi-fi. It works properly but after I leave it for a while in sleep mode and try to reuse it, it doesn't want to open a web page or app store or mail (anything connected with the internet search) but it shows that is properly connected with my home network. So I have to turn off the wi-fi connection and turn it on again so it start to work properly. After couple off days this becomed very annoying so I contacted the support via phone and they gave me instructions for return it and that I'll receive a new one without aditional fee. I get the second device in the predicted time but again I have the same issues with the wi-fi and battery life. I will be pleased if someone from the Apple expert team explaine to me what should I do, because I dont find it for normal what is happening. On the Apple official site under the specifications for iPad mini it says that the battery lasts for at least 10h and the wi-fi problem isn't mentioned anywhere. Thanks in advance.

    This is a user to user forum. No one here is an employee or representative of Apple.
    If you want someone from Apple to explain what you should do make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one near you and take your iPad there and talk to Apple. If no Apple store is close enough then call Apple to find out what your alternatives are. There is a Contact Info link at the bottom of every page in this forum.

  • My iPad mini ran out of battery when installing an app and now the app has gone?

    I updated Quiz Up today while my iPad mini had 2% battery left! and I thought this would be enough but just as the update was installing my iPad ran out of battery so I immediately put it on charge! when my iPad turned on the app was still there but was darker and said 'waiting' underneath, so I then went to the App Store to continue to update but when I went to the updates section the update was gone, I them we to back to the apps location and the app had gone, so I went to reinstall it but it only said open next to it, and when I press this it does nothing, I would like the app back but I don't know how to get it back, any suggestions? I thought the all might be corrupt but I can't delete it and reinstall it because the icon has gone and it doesn't show up in spotlight, so what do it do?

    Maybe:

    Otherwise try downloaing on computer and sync
    The go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage and tap on the app and try deleting it.

  • Before I upgraded my iPad mini, you could turn off apps to save battery power by double clicking the control button and then holding your finger on the app button until the minus sign appeared.  That doesn't work anymore.  How do you turn off the apps wit

    Before I upgraded my iPad mini, you could turn off apps to save battery power by double clicking the control button and then holding your finger on the app button until the minus sign appeared.  That doesn't work anymore.  How do you turn off the apps with ios7

    Now you swipe downward, the app will appear and you delete, keep scolling to the right as in the past.  With the new operating system you also swipe downward to get the search bar to find an app

  • Since I upgraded my ipad mini to ios7 my battery life has diminished significantly

    I've noticed that ever since I upgraded my ipad mini to ios7, the battery runs down much more quickly.  I close out of apps when I'm not using them, turned off location services, and took a number of other recommended steps, but it still seems a lot worse than it was on the old OS.  Any suggestions?  Is there any way to get back to the old OS?

    Rolling back is not supported by Apple.
    Have you look into background app refresh, background app update and notifications? Turning those off may help.

  • After updating to iOs 6.0.2 my iPad mini battery seems to drain much faster than before :(

    I updated my iPad mini to iOs 6.0.2 a couple of weeks back and I am suffering from battery drain issues.
    Although apple mentioned there, it is supposed to fix wifi issues, I never had any issue with wifi.
    But a black line was appearing when playing youtube videos in safari or chrome, which is fixed in this update.
    But my battery life of the iPad mini is considerably decreased.
    Is apple going to provide another update, which ll fix the battery drain issue?

    I am having the same issue. Hopefully they will have a fix soon.

  • Is the 12W charger compatible with ipad mini? will it damage my ipad or the battery?

    the 5v charger which came with the ipad mini is charging too slow...
    am just wondering if the 12w charger can be used to charge my ipad mini?
    will it damage the ipad mini itself or the battery?

    The 12W charger from Apple will in fact charge the Mini just fine. There is no issue with using that charger. It supports amongst other things the iPad mini as per the compatibility list here:

  • Ipad mini battery problems

    hello i have a ipad mini and recently i have been having some problems with it for around one week, i normally leave it charging through the night and when i wake up my ipad says that my battery is at 100% when i take it of the charger it says 99%. so i restart it and the ipad says that the battery is back to 100% (this happens every single morrning)
    now this morrning i woke up and my battery was 100% so i took it of the charger and said it was on 99% i went to have a shower and when i came back the ipad was displaying that i had 88% so i restarted it and it said that i had 88% not 100% even though it had no use while i was in the shower.
    so how can a battery drop that much in 30 mins
    PLEASE HELP ME!!

    You probably need to recalibrate the battery. See link below.
    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%.

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.htmlhttp://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.
