Use the hold switch while charging the battery?

Hi Everyone,
I recently replaced the battery in my iPod mini and am interested in learning tips to extend the life of my new battery. I was wondering if it makes a difference to the life of the battery if the hold button is on or off while being charged?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Several years ago I was told or read somewhere that charging an iPod with the hold button switched on helps to extend the overall life of the battery. I was just trying to find out if that is true or not. Based on what I have read about lithium batteries, it probably does not matter if the hold button is off or on while being charged as each battery has a limited number of charge cycles.
Thanks for your help.

Can I charge the battery in my iPod using the iPad power source?

Is it possible or safe to charge the battery in my iPod shuffle, using my iPad power supply.

Probably not, especially since the connector on the iPad is not "powered" meaning that it does not power anything. Moreover, I doubt you could find a connector that would work.

My iPod shuffle could be seen on iTunes, but it cannot be charged and don't play music. The battery light do not flash at all.

Like what I mentioned, the iPod do not work, it won't play music and the battery light do not flash.
But it shows in iTunes, and I could sync music into it.
I tried to reset all the settings of the iPod, and installed all the new software, but it does not work.
I don't know if it works before, my friend left it to me. I erased all the data she used before and syncronized all my music inside.
But it just never worked in my hand...
I really appreciate all feedbacks! Thanks and please answer this question if you have the similar situation!!

Are you using the USB docking cable that came with the iPod? There are separate contact points for power and data, so it is possible for the cable to connect for data, but not for power. Some third-party replacement cables may be of lower quality, if you do not have the original cable
However, it seems to be getting power, since the shuffle is operating when connected and you are able to sync when it is connected. So I think your USB docking cable is working.
That leaves a problem with the USB port or a problem on the shuffle.
For the USB port, it may not be supplying sufficient power to charge the battery. As a test, you should shut down (power off) the computer and disconnect all USB devices, including hub, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if normally used). If the Mac is a laptop, connect its power adapter (so that it's not running on battery power). Do this to reset the shuffle

Start up the Mac, run iTunes, and connect the shuffle to a direct USB port on the Mac. Any difference...?
If that does not help, it may be a problem with the shuffle, such as a worn out battery.

I have just updated my 4s to IOS7. and now my battery discharge is significantly increase. With my Iphone fully charged, the battery run out within 6 hours without using the phone at all. Would it be possible to get the IOS 6.1.3 back to my 4S?

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried as you suggested, and when opening the "purchased" apps some have the icloud logo next to them, but I only have "OPEN" against "Find My iPhone". When opening it up, it goes through the same routine; needs to be updated before proceeding, and wouldn't update because I don't have IOS8.
Anything else I could try, or am I doomed!
All of your help is much appreciated, thanks

How can I charge the battery on my US iPad and iPhone while in Europe?

I will be travelling to Ireland next month. I would like to bring my iPad 2 and iPhone 5s, but am concerned about charging the battery in Europe due to the voltage difference. Will the current charger work? Do I need to use a voltage converter for these devices?

All Apple chargers work from 100-240VAC, 50-60Hz power. All you will need is a plug adapter for the country you are in.
You can use your iPad charger to charge your iPhone (also, it will charge it faster than the iPhone charger).

Have a great time on your trip.

Battery problem!!!!heating up while charging and battery loosing in short time

i just brought new iphone 5 !!!! while charging it heats up...and while using 3g it looses battery very fast after full recharge .
While using 3g battery decreases by 1percent in 2minutes...m using ios 6.0.1............

Hi swaraj.vidhate,
If you are experiencing what appears to be unusually short battery life, you may want to check out the "Power/Battery: Battery life seems short" section of the following article:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
In particular, the Restore iPhone step will help isolate if any potential issue is software or hardware related.
With regard to the iPhone warming during charging:
iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch (4th generation): Keeping device within acceptable operating temperatures
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2101
When using the device or charging the battery, it is normal for it to get warm. The exterior of the device functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the device to the cooler air outside.
If you are still having issues with the battery life, or have any further concerns, there is a link to Apple iPhone Support at the bottom of the Hardware Troubleshooting document; I am sure they would be happy to be of assistance.

IGo universal adapter not charging the battery?

Since yesterday I have realized that my apple adapter for the PowerBook G3 PDQ (aka wallstreet) has died. I plugged in the adapter and the battery icon just stays the way it is. So I plugged in the iGo Juice 70 and yeah the laptop shows the thunderbolt on the battery. Since I know when you use the laptop while charging, it is suppose to charge slowly. In two hours it said the battery is full. I thought the adapter charged it faster. Today I used it in battery mode and it show a full battery. When it was at 92% the laptop fell asleep. I checked the battery tester and it shows that the battery is empty. So I plugged in the same adapter, woke up the laptop, and it showed it was charging from 0% and in one minute it went up to 100%. I also have realized that the battery tester doesn't light up when it is charging. I tried this in OSX 10.2.8 and OS 9.2.2. Is it the adapter, laptop, battery??? Something else???

Vstream,
It does not sound like a power adapter issue. Since the adapter will power/run the powerbook, it has sufficient voltage to also charge the battery. Be sure to check if the battery charges in sleep or when turned off. You mentioned that the battery showed 100% charged; you then disconnected the power adapter and let the 'book run on battery; at 94% the 'book shut down. This has nothing to do with the power adapter; you either have a failing battery or a hardware problem in the 'book. Your problems are almost certainly a bad battery with classic symptoms...test LEDs refusing to light and random shutdowns when running on battery.
A definitive test is swapping batteries with a known-good Wallstreet, but this is usually not an available option.

6500 slide !!charging the battery!!

i didnt charged the battery for 16 hours...is this a problem ??In my guide book doesnt say how much hours i have to charge.. my mobile..!!i charged it 7 hours maybe 8 for the first time...and then i played all the time.. games.. and my phone was left out of energy...is it normal?maybe can i demand a second battery if i see that the battery dont last long...!!!???plz someone answer.can anyone tell me...with 100% that i make a **bleep** ?or its doesnt matters that i charged my phone for 8 hours...i have olny charged once..maybe.. if i leave.. a lit bit more next time.. the things will fix ?

li-ion batteries don't like being over charged or completely discharged. although the phone will stop charging after a the battery is full and the phone can be left hooked with no problems, i advice to unhook the phone after it finishes charging and the charger also " live green my friend ".this will prolong the battery life.
Fear not those who argue but those who dodge

Charging the battery vs. Using the adapter

I'm trying to get a definitive answer about keeping the MacBook Pro connected to the AC adapter while using it as my desktop computer. Is it OK? Not OK? Should the battery be charged to a "full charge " state and then used until prompted to plug in the adapter? Or, can it be connected to the adapter all the time? The MacBook Pro has replaced an iMac that was my primary computer and it's infrequent that I take it from my office to another place. Thanks.

I think if you searched the forums you would find the question has been answered definitively.
The charging circuitry stops charging the battery once the charge level exceeds 95 percent. The battery will not re-charge until the charge level drops below 95 percent. Thus, you can leave the charger connected without concern that the battery will be undergoing continuous discharge and charge cycles that reduce the battery's overall life. However, if you do not periodically calibrate the battery the accuracy of the SMU's measure of the battery's charge level will deteriorate. Thus, you should re-calibrate the battery about once a month.

Correct way to charge the battery

I apologize if I'm repeating a question. In the manual for the Palm Pre Plus, it states that you're able to let the battery charge overnight. My phone only takes about an hour to fully charge from 20 percent. I'm afraid if I let the battery charge any longer than that I run the risk of overcharging and damaging the battery, which was the situation with my previous cell phones with lithium batteries.
Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

Here are a few tips for extending battery life:
Avoid exposing the battery to extreme heat and cold.
For the first 3 charge cycles, fully charge the battery overnight and allow it to fully discharge before recharging (battery conditioning).
Charge and re-condition a battery after an extended idle period.
A Lithium-ion battery may be damaged by extensive overcharging (continuously on a charger for more than 24 hours).
Keep the phone, batteries, and the contact terminals clean. The contacts can easily be cleaned with a pencil eraser.
Use the battery. If possible, avoid letting your battery sit idle for long periods of time.
Use only the phone options and accessories that are really needed.

Can you charge the battery for too long?

I know that with cell phones if you leave the charger in for too long the battery starts to lose life. Is it the same way with the macbook or did the engineers work out a way that you can keep the charger connected for as long as you want and it won't drain battery life?
I'd like to charge the battery whenever I go to sleep but I'm afraid that it will have charged too much by the time I wake up. I learned that the hard way with my cell phone, which seems to lose power much quicker than it used to.

Hi,
since Apple recommends to never remove the battery while running the MacBook on AC-power, it is the logical conclusion.

I can not shut down my iphone. It was working yesterday. I tried it with my computer and it would not recognize the phone and it would not charge the battery

My iPhone 3G is no longer being recognized by my computer when attached, it is not synching nor charging the battery. What should I do. PS I have cleaned the USB connection on both endsand all the logical things

Hello agardner37701,
I found some steps you can take when your iPhone is not recognized by iTunes when in Recovery Mode. I recommend reviewing the steps in the section titled "If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode" under step 5 in the following article:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Satellite A100-166 PSAA9E does not charge the battery

Hello,
My laptop does not charge the battery.
Although Windows Xp recognizes the battery and says charging, the battery is not recharged.
I tried with a spare battery as i thought the battery was defective, with same results.
Strange is, when i turn off the laptop the power supply led stays on and blue, even without the power supply atached thus discharging the battery.
The battery led is always amber but not charging!!!
What is the matter with the laptop?
Thanks

Hi
Generally there are three different possibilities;
1) the AC adaptor is faulty
2) the battery is faulty
3) the notebooks board electronic (power supply electronic) malfunctions
So now its necessary to check all this steps to locate the fault.
You said that you have tested different batteries and the AC adaptor works too.
So its possible that there is something wrong with the power supply electronic
In such case there is no much to do as to contact the ASP in your country. The technicians should check the notebook and should run some diagnostic tests
I recommend contacting the guys and ask for the details and for the further handling Good luck and happy new year.

Possible to play while charging the battery?
