Charging iPad Air

[soundklinik]

Hi All,

what is the recommended or best way to charge my ipad?

Usually I wait till it is discharged between 10-20% and then I plug in and do a full charge.
However the Battery Doctor app, says that I full charge the battery too often, reducing battery health to miserly 4? (Instead of 5)

Is that a joke?

I am not up-to-date with the latest technology, but I thought you discharge and fully charge, NO partial charges, that count as a full charge or one cycle in battery's life.
I don't loose any charge %-same Volts 12hours later, battery charges full in 6-8 hours and runs most of the day with audio apps...

Should I worry?

With modern battery technology you can pretty do what you want - a partial discharge / charge will not count as a full charge cycle and it doesn't hurt the battery to do it.

Thank you! I was always wondering if I charge right. What a relief!
