What is the best way of charging?

Hello
1-I ve read that it's better to charge the battery around 50 % , it means that for example if it discarges to 10 % then it's better to plug in , and leave it is charged up to  around 50 %?
2-Is better to discharge fully (0 %) once in a month and fully charge up to 100 %?
3-what is the best percentage for discharging?is it better up to  discharge around 10 % and then plug in?
Tnx

Here's a link to Apples support page on iPad batteries.
http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html
Given the info there, I can say that I charge my iPad at night while I'm sleeping and never pay attention to how low the battery is at the end of the day. I let it charge overnight and in the morning it is always at 100%. The charging circuit turns off when the battery is fully charged.
If the battery drops very low during the day I might charge it again but that rarely happens for me. A day of heavy use for me usually results in the battery showing about 30-35%.

    Whatever you do in terms of charging will not destroy your iPod.
    Many people charge when it's convenient. Others just connect the iPod for syncing to the computer and leave it charging overnight, regardless of the ramaining charge level. Life of modern batteries is measured in full charge cycles. A charge cycle is either a full charge or any combination of small charges that adds up to 100% charge.
    The only real recommendations I've seen (including from Apple) is to keep the batteries away from heat and have a full charge once a month. For this, discharge the battery to about 20%, then fully charge.

  • What's the best way to charge my iphone 6 for the first time ?

    what's the best way to charge my iphone 6 for the first time ?

    Just charge it to 100%.
    Use it on the charger when possible. Recharge when the battery is around 50% when possible. Avoid to let the battery go down below 20%.

  • What's the best way to charge my iPhone 5

    Hi what is the best way to charge my IPhone 5?  Should I wait for battery to completely drain first?

    NO.  Lithium batteries degrade far faster with deep cycle discharge/charges than with shallow cycles and more frequent charging.
    Try to avoid deep cycles as much as possible.  Otherwise, charge it whenever is convenient to do so.  You cannot overcharge it so you can leave it plugged in when convenient to do so as well.  Nor can you charge it too frequently, and even a partial charge is fine as well.
    I have chargers at home, at work and in the car, and plug mine in whenever I know I am going to be staying in one of those places for awhile, and I never really pay any attention to the charge state when I do so.

  • What is the best way to charge MacBook Pro?

    What is the best way to recharge the batter on a MacBook Pro? i was wondering if i can keep the battery charging overnight, or if i should drain it before charging it.

    Plug in the AC adaptor, connect the cable to the MagSafe connector on the computer.

  • What is the best way to charge my iPhone 6

    Im new to Apple product. Can anyone tell me what's the proper way to charge my iPhone 6? Most of the people around me (friends) told me not to over charge and better to charge it when the battery drain below 10%. But I read from many website everyone was saying charge it overnight is better and don't let it drain below 30%.
    So I dont know which is the proper way to charge my phone.

    You can charge it overnight and use it too, it will not harm ur device. You will want to let it completely drain and power off from no battery about once a month at least though.

  • What is the best way to charge the ipod

    Hey guys im sure there is 1000s of these posts but i couldnt find them, so which is the best way to charge my ipod video? using a wall adapter or usb, or it doesnt matter, i have been told with some players using usb kills the battry life.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    i have been told with some players using usb kills the battry life.
    It would do just as much damage (if any) if you were hooked up to a wall outlet.
    Both of them to me are the same. They both charge about the same time and last about the same.

  • What is the best way to charge my iPod Touch 5G?

    So I got my iPod Touch 5th Generation on my birthday, December 29th. I know, and I've heard, that charging the battery fully from start to finish is good about once a month, as in you drain your battery then charge it to 100%. But what if I do that everysingle time I charge? I want my battery to charge the best way possible. Will it over charge it or something, if I always have the battery die, and then charge it completely? Please help! Thanks!

    Still doesn't matter.
    You can ask as many ways as you like, but it still doesn't matter.
    Charge it any way you like.  Just let it go through at least one full cycle each month.

    I wanna know when I should let the battery run down since i primarily use AC power? Also when should i let the battery fully go down?
    Never, and never.
    Keep it plugged in when near a socket so you keep the charging cycles down on your LiPo (lithium polymer) cells / battery, but not plugged in all the time. When not being used for several hours, turn it off.
    And best "tip" is if its near a socket,...plug it in as long as you can (especially at home) since cycle count on the battery are the "miles that wear out the tires (battery)", however again, not plugged in all or most of the time.
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html
    "Apple does not recommend leaving your portable plugged in all the time."
    General rule to remember of Lithium batteries is:
    Never drain them LOW  &  never store them HIGH
    While cycle count is commonly seen to be the “miles” on your Lithium Ion pack cell in your Macbook, which they are, this distinction is not a fine line at all, and it is a big misconception to “count charge cycles”
    *A person who has, for example, 300 charge cycles on their battery and is recharging at say 50-60% remaining of a 100% charge has better battery usage and care than another person who has 300 charge cycles at say 15% remaining on a 100% charge. 
    DoD (depth of discharge) is far more important on the wear and tear on your Macbook battery than any mere charge cycle count.  *There is no set “mile” or wear from a charge cycle in general OR in specific.    As such, contrary to popular conception, counting cycles is not conclusive whatsoever, rather the amount of deep DoD on an averaged scale of its use and charging conditions.
    (as a very rough analogy would be 20,000 hard miles put on a car vs. 80,000 good miles being something similar)
    *Contrary to some myths out there, there is protection circuitry in your Macbook and therefore you cannot overcharge it when plugged in and already fully charged
    *However if you don’t plan on using it for a few hours, turn it OFF (plugged in or otherwise) ..*You don’t want your Macbook both always plugged in AND in sleep mode       (When portable devices are charging and in the on or sleep position, the current that is drawn through the device is called the parasitic load and will alter the dynamics of charge cycle. Battery manufacturers advise against parasitic loading because it induces mini-cycles.)
    Keeping batteries connected to a charger ensures that periodic "top-ups" do very minor but continuous damage to individual cells, hence Apples recommendation above:   “Apple does not recommend leaving your portable plugged in all the time”, …this is because “Li-ion degrades fastest at high state-of-charge”. This is also the same reason new Apple notebooks are packaged with 50% charges and not 100%.
    LiPo (lithium polymer, same as in your Macbook) batteries do not need conditioning. However...
    A lot of battery experts call the use of Lithium cells the "80% Rule" ...meaning use 80% of the charge or so, then recharge them for longer overall life.
    Never let your Macbook go into shutdown and safe mode from loss of power, you can corrupt files that way, and the batteries do not like it.
    The only quantified abuse seen to Lithium cells are instances when often the cells are repeatedly drained very low…. key word being "often"
    The good news is that your Macbook has a safety circuit in place to insure the battery doesn’t reach too low before your Macbook will auto power-off. Bad news: if you let your Macbook protection circuitry shut down your notebook at its bottom, and you refrain from charging it for a couple days...the battery will SELF-DRAIN to zero (depending on climate and humidity)…and nothing is worse on a Lithium battery being low-discharged than self-draining down to and sitting at 0
    Contrary to what some might say, Lithium batteries have an "ideal" break in period. First ten cycles or so, don't discharge down past 40% of the battery's capacity. Same way you don’t take a new car out and speed and rev the engine hard first 100 or so miles.
    Proper treatment is still important. Just because LiPo batteries don’t need conditioning in general, does NOT mean they dont have an ideal use / recharge environment. Anything can be abused even if it doesn’t need conditioning.

    Storing your MacBook
    If you are going to store your MacBook away for an extended period of time, keep it in a cool location (room temperature roughly 22° C or about 72° F). Make certain you have at least a 50% charge on the internal battery of your Macbook if you plan on storing it away for a few months; recharge your battery to 50% or so every six months roughly if being stored away. If you live in a humid environment, keep your Macbook stored in its zippered case to prevent infiltration of humidity on the internals of your Macbook which could lead to corrosion.

  • What's The Best Way to Charge The Touch?

    I've been just playing with the touch and its features all day until the battery drops down to below 10% and pretty much shut itself off, and then I plug it in for about 3 hours for a full charge. Is this a good method?
    Oh and btw, Ive been cranking about 3 hours of wifi life on mines, which isnt all to bad considering that even with a laptop Im lucky to get 1 full hour!

    With any device with a Lithium-Ion or Lithium-Polymer battery, it's best to keep it "topped off" rather than letting it frequently run all the way down. Such batteries only have a limited number of charge cycles, so the more you allow it to run completely down, the shorter the battery life will probably be. So while you should just use it as you need to and don't worry too much about it, don't deliberately run the battery down regularly. For more information, see Apple's iPod Battery FAQ.
    Regards.

  • What is the best way to take care of the battery?

    What is the best way to charge and use the battery so it lasts the longest over time? Does wall charger versus USB make a difference? Does topping off versus draining make a difference?
    Thanks!

    My understanding is to charge the battery as soon as you're able to, without letting it drain completely and or often.
    With my digital SLR cameras, it's recommended by engineers that have studied Lithium-ion battery charging to not allow them to drain...or not allow them to fall below 50% capacity. If you charge them when you're able to, you'll extend the life of the battery. I see these results first hand.
    Funny, my sister uses the blackberry type 'smartphones' and she ALWAYS has battery issues. She runs down the battery, then plugs them in for a short time to get a 'quick charge', then proceeds to run the battery down again.
    Next thing you know, her phone won't last the day or half day on a charge.
    So maybe there is something to recharging as soon as you can and not allowing the battery to die on you.
