Right way for battery charging

Hi everybody! I bought an iPad Air when he was released. Surfing on Internet, I've heard conflicting opinions about the right way to charge the iPad (or the iPhone) to increase its battery life. What I want to ask is this: iit is true that once a month you have to bring the battery to 0% and then charging it?

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.

    My info for battery charging says "Not Charging" when it is charging as per dashboard widget. Since change to lion all slowed down do I need more ram ( have 2 gig). Lost  some icons in web site icons and other random icons. So far SL better.

    Yeah, it was purchased in August 2008. I'm not really sure what a charge cycle is, but I do plug it in and unplug it a lot to a power source. Mainly because I keep my computer on most of the time (either on or on sleep). So between taking it to classes and stuff, I'll recharge in between and when it's really low, otherwise I run it off the battery most of the time.
    On a sidenote, I have went to that information thing about about the battery after letting it sit plug in for a few hours, and now it has this information:

    hi,
    my transaction is VL02N change outbound delivery.

  • Is bgRFC Out-Inbound the right way for this... ?

    Hi guys,
    my scenario is:
    n systems (SAP) send data to ONE server (AS ABAP). The data will delivered via one and the same RFC FM to be stored in exactly ONE file per day.
    I have to ensure quality of service and delivery.
    So my first question is if bgRFC is the right way of doing so...
    MY idea was: I have exactly ONE inbound queue name on server/central system to ensure, that there will be only one unit to write data into file at the same time...
    Second: when the sender system calls one function module several times, how do I have to configure the queue names...
    I'm facing problems regarding this (please see below)
    the error occurs whenever the FM is called more than once per unit and I have only ONE inbound queue name declared...
    (please see coding below)
    Any ideas on that?
    Best -
    Christoph
    coding example....
      DATA:
            my_destination TYPE REF TO if_bgrfc_destination_outbound,
            my_unit        TYPE REF TO if_qrfc_unit_outinbound,
            dest_name      TYPE bgrfc_dest_name_outbound,
            queue_name     TYPE qrfc_queue_name,
          dest_name = 'SID'.
          my_destination = cl_bgrfc_destination_outbound=>create( dest_name ).
    loop... (to split XLarge amounts of data)
    CALL FUNCTION 'MSGRECEIVER'
        IN BACKGROUND UNIT my_unit
    exporting lt_data
    endloop...
    my_unit->add_queue_name_outbound( QUEUE_NAME = '<prefix>_OUT'
    my_unit->add_queue_name_inbound( QUEUE_NAME = '<prefix>_IN'
                                            IGNORE_DUPLICATES = abap_true ).
    Problem:
    the error occurs, when more than one function module is called by the sender system... and having only ONE inbound queue name declared...

  • Can I get replacemen​t port/socke​t for battery charger for pavilion dv6100?

    The computer works fine with a recharged battery connected, but the charger connection does not work.  Is this something I can just replace for my grandaughter's laptop for school?

    It is a separate daughterboard which can be replaced without soldering. Here is the Manual:

    Look at page 5-59. The dv6000 is not easy to work on but the steps are all laid out for you and the part is probably not too expensive.

  • App for battery charged notification light?

    HI all,
    I have a new iPhone 5s with iOS 7.0.4. When charging with the phone switched off, is there a way to tell when the phone is fully charged? Is there an app I can install to so that there is a flashing LED light or something so I know when it is charged?

  • Right Way for Localization

    I use ResourceBundle and *.properties files.
    Each property file matched to class.getName() and located next to *.class file.
    E.g.
    /com/samsol/project1/LoginPanel.class
    /com/samsol/project1/LoginPanel.properties
    /com/samsol/project1/LoginPanel_ru_RU.properties
    1. Is this propper location for *.properties files?
    2. How to localize multiline messages? How and when to use "\n", "\r\n", |\n\r" for different platforms.
    3. Depended on the default font size in the system I want to display icons in menu and toolbars having suitable size. How to use scalable icons?
    4. How to localize the icons? Example. For "login" button somebody like to see the lock, other the key, but some the ID (passport). (This is just example). But how to do it?
    5. Is there are any method to change the localization on the fly?

    1. Whatever you decide.
    2.
    3. Start from [1] and see how you can manage to use SVG for this purpose. [2] can you give some additional ideas.
    5.
         void setLocale(Component component, Locale locale) {
              component.setLocale(locale);
              if (component instanceof Container) {
                   Container cont = (Container) component;
                   for (int i = 0; i < cont.getComponentCount(); i++)
                        setLocale(cont.getComponent(i), locale);
         }Before calling the method above, do
    Locale.setDefault(new Locale(this.langCode, this.countryCode));
    frame.applyComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation
                        .getOrientation(Locale.getDefault()));where langCode / countryCode specify the locale you wish to set and frame is your main frame (do it for all open frames with Frame.getFrames()). In addition, you'd have to update all the localized showing controls (such as buttons and so on).
    4. Change the icons inside the method above.

  • Is it the right way for a secure communication?

    Hi,
    i'm trying to implement secure comunication between sockets.
    At the moment i have an object Message that has a member object "content" that is the information to transmit.
    I use the socket.writeObject method to send the Message object.
    Once receiver get the Message, use getContent() to retrieve the information.
    I encrypt content with prv key of sender and public key of receiver (RSA). Receiver then use his prv key and the sender pub key.
    The comunication works.
    Now i wish to put the digital signature verification too. But i can't get the benefits of using it. I mean, if i try to modify some byte of the encrypted content, when receiver try to decrypt it, it already throws errors...
    Plus, if i decide to implement it, should i put it inside the content? or setting it in another member object of Message would do the job too? Moreover, should the sign be encrypted with sender prv and receiver pub keys?
    I read articles and implementation, but they are all quite different and i'm quite lost.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    SSL uses RSA. You are trying to re-invent the SSL wheel and would do better to use SSL because it's security has been fully analysed. If you really do need to re-invent SSL then Google for the SSL/TLS specification so you can see how it should be done. Be aware - making the communication secure without using SSL is not trivial.

  • Right way of login form...

    Hello
    I am a really newbie in web programming. I want to write a web application with JSF. I wonder what is the rgiht way of creating the login form. I tried to write a page segment file for it but page segments do not have prerender method so it cannot be fully controlled...I want something like that:
    login control will be two parts..
    if login info is not found in session, than it will show the login form.
    if the user is found in session, than it will show the menu for the user...
    but i couldnt do that because prerender methos is not available in page segments..
    what is the right way for doing that kind of thing?

    Indeed implement a Filter.
    Once an user logs in, put the User object in the HttpSession. Let the filter check on this User object. If this User object is null and you're not in the login page, then redirect to the login page.
    Do a Google search on "LoginFilter implements Filter" or "UserFilter implements Filter" and you'll find lot of examples.
    http://www.google.com/search?q=%22LoginFilter implements Filter%22
    http://www.google.com/search?q=%22UserFilter implements Filter%22
    Here is an advanced one which actually doesn't redirect if the User object doesn't exist, but this might give you some new insights: http://balusc.xs4all.nl/srv/dev-jep-usf.html

  • Is it better for your battery if you let it run down all the way and then charge it? Or to charge it whenever you have the opportunity?  Which is better for the life of the battery?

    I was wondering it the life of the battery would last longer if you let the battery run down all the way and then charge it? Or to charge it whenever you have the opportunity even if it doesn't have a low battery?  Which is better for the life of the battery and prolong the life of the battery?

    I've had a iPhone 4s since March 2012, and it's battery is pretty useless now.  I was using the app Battery Doctor (Battery Saver, Battery Life) by Beijing Kingsoft Internet Security software, which encourages the user to charge more often, whenever battery life drops below 100% full and greater than 20% full, and gives ratings according to the number of full, partial &amp; overcharges done, but I'm concerned that charging like that actually results in worse battery life??
    I now have an new iPhone 5 and don't want the battery to only last as short as the last one did
    Any advice/comments please

  • Battery: I need to use it the right waY...

    Hi, I'm a new iPad user and I've a question about the battery.
    I'm using it this way: Charge at 100%, use to 0%, then charge again till 100% and so on. Is it the right way? May I use and charge the battery partially? (say: charge to 80%, then use to 30%, then charge till 100%, then use to 25% and so on).
    Thank you.

    No, you don't need to do that all the time — Apple says this:
    "*Use Your iPad Regularly*
    For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down)." (Source)

  • Any way to stop battery charging at under 100%?

    Research has shown that a battery kept at 40% charge will retain 96% of capacity after 1 year (at 25 degrees C), while a battery kept at 100% charge will retain only 80% of capacity after the same period of time.
    Is there any way to control the maximum charge level, so that the battery stops charging after a certain point (say, 40%, or 75%). Thanks.

    Do you have a link for the article you read that has this info? I'd love to read it!
    Like the above poster said, you can't control how long the battery charges--unless you unplug the cord yourself.
    I would like to mention something for you. My battery is 11 months old, and has maintained 98% of its original capacity. Within the next 4 weeks, it will hit the one-year mark, and I don't anticipate it failing on me before it has reached the typical lifespan of ~300 charge cycles. I wouldn't be surprised if it hangs on for another 100! It currently has 264 to its credit. I think my battery is doing pretty well--and I run off it for a few hours nearly ever day
    Of course that's an expected outcome with most lithium rechargeable batteries. However - they do have their drawbacks including an inherent loss of total capacity from the aging process.
    The best thing for your battery is to USE it, even if you're sitting at your desk much of the time. Unhook the power charger for 30 minutes, or an hour, then reattach it. If it doesn't seem to be working properly, calibrate it.
    It all depends. Using a battery and charging it to near maximum by definition cut capacity because of some loss of the electrolyte solvent when it gets vented. In NiMH batteries, the solvent is water. It's a non-water solvent for lithium rechargeables. If it's not vented, it could potentially explode. Using a battery every day will result in noticeable loss of capacity. There's a balance to overuse and underuse of a lithium rechargeable battery. Apple recommends that a battery be partially drained at least once a month. My MacBook is set up with an iCal reminder to use battery power once a month.
    The 40% you mentioned from the article is something I've heard before, but I believe it was mentioned in relation to storing your computer for an extended period of time(ie several weeks). If you wanted your battery to be healthy when you returned, you wanted to store it after you'd partially discharged the battery.
    I've brought up the extreme case of first generation hybrid car batteries. They employ a different strategy for charging that takes advantage of an always present charging source (the internal combustion engine and generator). They take advantage of the extreme case where the battery is intentionally kept between 40-65% of charge nearly all of the time. Going a little bit under or over this isn't a big deal. This keeps it from the extremes of near max charge and near min charge; both tend to reduce battery capacity for different reasons. The electrical output is only a supplementary power source used during peak demand periods. I've heard of some original batteries from Toyota Prius taxis that have survived 400K miles of service; that probably meant 100,000-200,000 of the shallow charge-discharge cycles. The fact that only a small range is needed means that they can continue this use for a long time. It probably would have been noticeably degraded after maybe 1000-2000 20-100% deep discharge cycles. The total amount of energy drawn over the lifespan is many times with the small discharges compared to deep discharges. You're typically using 25% of the charge hundreds of thousands of times rather than 80% of the charge a few thousand times.
