SSR Help- battery l

i know i've asked this in the past but am looking for afirmation. on account of i'm drunk. will charging my zen micro when it's not dead kill the life of the battery? if it's at 2 bars i plug it in overnight. why not? is this bad?
SSR rules!

Haha, well I can say that charging when not fully flat is a good thing for Lithium Ion batteries. A lot of people are used to the full cycling that was necessary with NiMH and NiCad, but LI is different.

  • Hi. Does using the cover lock help battery life?

    Hi. Does using the cover lock help battery life?

    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

    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.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

    Hello to everyone! The battery of my ipod touch 5 was damaged. So I decided to change the battery by myself because the warranty was expired. My friend told me that he was able to change it. But after the change, ipod will not turn on.. Only if it is connect to power it turn on, but appears always the apple logo, and then it turn off.. endless.. it's a loop.  what happens? My friend damaged the new battery? Help me please! (i'm sorry for my english but i'm italian.. hope i explained well the problem)

    Take the iPod to someone with more experience with iPods/iPhones.
    Apple will not help since you took it apart already

  • NEED SERIOUS HELP; BATTERY.

  • Help  battery to charge or just run plugged in?

    I am new to the ibook. All I know is I can stay on the computer awhile and before I know it the batteryis run down then I charge it. If I am going to use it for a long period of time, should I just take the battery out and plug it in? Can I just plug it in at any time and take the battery out ? Do I need to let the battery goet down low before I do that?

    Here's my recommendation:
    If your iBook will mainly be sitting on a desk, leave it plugged in.
    If it will be elsewhere, alternate between plugging it in and running on battery power.
    ie: run on battery for 2-3 hours (depending on how long your battery usually lasts) then plug in for a while.
    Most users recommend a full charge, discharge, full charge cycle once a month to keep your battery at its best.
    Hope I've helped a bit!

  • Please help - Battery not recognized, after totally drained

    Dear all, need some advice on how solving this issue. My macbook just had its battery totally drained and now it is not recognized by it.
    I have tried all "tips" from the FAQ, but none of them worked out
    It seems this is a "common" issue as apple guys are listing as top 3 in the FAQs...
    Need help as I am travelling outside US on a project and will be dead without baterries.
    For those who cannot help, find my tip: DO NOT LET YOUR MACBOOK BATTERY FULLY DRAIN!
    Thanks

    Macbooks have worldwide warranties - so maybe if you have your warranty card with you - and perhaps even if you don't - you can go into an Apple shop and get it replaced - go to the genius bar and give 'em a big smile...

    what do i need to do?

    You need to replace your battery.
    Your Full Charge Capacity (949) is incredibly low; the original capacity when the computer was new was about 5400.
    Is your machine under warranty? If so, it certainly can't hurt to bring the machine to an Apple store and ask if the battery could be replaced at no cost to you. The batteries in the older MacBooks should hold on to 80% or more of their original capacity for about 300 cycles, and yours is only a bit over 300.
    If you can't get a free replacement, you'll have to pay for a new battery to stop the sudden shutdowns.

  • PLEASE HELP--Battery drain

    I have a 15 GB Ipod. I charge it over night and sometimes longer. It says it is fully charged, and it plays for about 45 minutes- 1 hour. After that it says that it has no more battery. Please help, I have no idea what to do.

    If you have a 15GB, then I presume you have a 3rd generation iPod, with the 4 red-backlit buttons above a scroll wheel?
    If you're still using the stock battery in it, you'll need a new battery. Batteries should be replaced every 12-18 months, depending on usage. Your iPod is probably 4 or so years old, so it is definately overdue.
    You can find a new battery at http://ipodjuice.com
    You can also find batteries on eBay

    At Ease .. Young One . Patience is th only solution to your problem . What your facing is a Flash Drive Skip > Minor problem I'd Say. What your gonna do is an Ipod Reset.
    Steps for an IPOD Reset:
    Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
    Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
    If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.
    After that get the latest IPOD updater Software (from Ipod Site )and LOad it on to your Computer.
    It should work like clock work from there.

  • Help battery does not charge

    My iPhone does not charge unless I turn it off what i do ?

    I would try a different charger to make sure there isn't a problem with the charger causing it to only work when the iPhone is powered down.
    If that does not help, then a visit to the Apple store genius bar would be a good idea to have the techs test the iPhone to see why it is not charging normally.  If you do that, make a backup of the contents, best to do that in iCloud, so if the decision is to replace the iPhone you can restore your content.  If it is backed up in iCloud, the Apple techs can restore while you wait.

  • IPod Help (battery)

    I just got my 60 gig ipod video but it won't seem to work. I installed the cd you get but it still won't work. When I use the USB line they gave me and hook it to my computer, nothing happens. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong or is the battery dead?

    I'm actually having a similar problem. I've had my iPod about 3 1/2 months now and lately it's been cutting off, telling me that there's no battery power, even if I've just charged it. I've reset it and it's worked for a minute and then does the same thing. I'll have to try resetting it 2 or 3 times and then the battery will kick back in. But it's been happening for a couple of weeks now. What's the deal? I've noticed it's been doing this since I updated with the 9/23 update.
