How often do you charge?

[war eagle]

The last few weeks i've been using my iPad more and more and im charging almost nightly. What about you guys?

 

[dpetree]

I would say it depends on usage but I usually go a few days before I charge. I normally wait till it gets down below 10% before I charge unless I know I am going to be using it a lot the next day and then I will make sure it's charged

 

[applefanDrew]

Every other day. I let it down get to 1% before I charge.

It depends really, i charge mine almost every 2 days and i got an iPad 3G

 

[chiefroastbeef]

I always keep mine topped off, the iPad doesn't charge quick, so I will charge it every chance I get.

 

[Merthyrboy]

I usually go two or three days unless I use it alot and then I may charge it daily.

Im trying to let mine run out today and start from 0. I think it needs a cycle. Its been draining fast lately. I dont know if its the netflixm
Or what. On average how much perdent do you guys lose when watching say an epsiisode of law and order on the pad?

 

[applefan022]

I charge mine daily. Sometimes 8 hours a day of usage.

 

[Jack97]

I charge mine when the battery runs out

People actually think about this?

I was going to post something similar. I charge it when it needs to be charged.

It's as if nobody here ever used a rechargeable device before the iPad came out.

Pretty much nightly. I play music all day at work and I am occasionally on twitter and surfing the web. When I get home I'm on it constantly until bed so although it doesnt get too low I still charge it.

Watch out for multitasking apps running in the background. Double-tapping on the home button and closing apps running in the background can increase battery life.

Which Law & Order? Vincent D'Onofrio's smoldering intensity on "L&O: Criminal Intent" drains the battery excessively.

 

[Uofmtiger]

Every night. I use it is an alarm clock, so I can't have it run out of charge in the middle of the night. Also, I want it to have a full charge when I use it the next day. Works for me...

 

[Carl G35c]

For me, its every two or three days

 

[ldburroughs]

While I sleep.

I charge while I sleep. That way I never run out of power.

 

[Julien]

Bad idea.

 

[Piggie]

Between 2 days and almost 2 weeks, depending on use.

 

[merics]

I have the 64 3G WIFI, use it at least two hours daily and put it on the charger about every 3 days or more.

Maybe it's because it's late, but I actually laughed out loud at that.

I charge mine 1-2 times per week, depending on my usage. It really does seem like the battery lasts forever.

 

[greygray]

Once every 4 days.

 

[bossxii]

Use it daily for work and personal. Plug it in every night never worry about it running out of battery. Its a Lithium battery, it doesn't have a "memory" so it doesn't matter what level it's at when you charge.

 

[Dr McKay]

When it reaches about 10%.
