How long does it take to charge 1st gen iPad?

[Andronicus]

Hey people could use your help. I did a test today and the results are less than impressive. My 1st gen iPad was completely dead so I decided to see how long it took to charge it fully. I didn't get to charge it to 100%, but I charged it for 5 1/2 hours (with the charger that was included) and it only got up to 82% charge.

How long does it take to charge your 1st gen iPad?
If I replace the battery will it improve the charging time?

Thanks for all your help!

usually 1-2 hours to get it from like around 20% to 100%

Then I get to use it for a about a week unless I play lots of games on it.

And that's with the first generation? I guess I need to replace the battery.

Are you using the wall plug charger that came with the iPad?

If you try to use an iPhone charger or charge it from a computer's USB port it will take longer.

Yes sir I am. Any suggestions?

We have 2 1st gen ipads and it only takes about 2.5-3 hrs to charge from 10%. I'm always impressed at how fast they still charge and hold a charge. The charge lasts for almost a week unless the kids are watching Netflix, but usually avg it out to 4-6 days per charge. I'm still very happy with our ipads

Cool, thanks for the info. I think I'm going to order a battery from iFixit.

I usually would charge mine overnight, so it's hard to say. But I would think that it should have been charged within 5 hours, so sounds like you are right to pursue getting a new battery.
