iPad Ipad air says "not charging"when at 100%

[bhigh8]

Is it supposed to be like this? Sometimes when it is fully charged it says not charging and other times it says 100%. What is it supposed to say when it is completely full. I left mine at 100% overnight accidently and expected it to say not charging but instead it was at 100%. I don't know what is supposed to be the outcome.

Anyone else see this.

When your iPad is fully charged, it stops charging. That's normal. There's no problem with leaving it plugged in overnight. You don't have to unplug it as soon as it's fully charged.

Cool thanks for letting me know. Is there a reason some times it says not charging and sometimes 100%?

I haven't seen that on iOS 6, so I'm guessing it may be a new behavior in iOS 7. It certainly isn't cause for any concern.

It's not a behavior I see on 3 different iPads and a couple of iPhones. What are you using to charge the iPad? That message is what you will typically see if the charger can't provide enough power to the iPad.

That message is because the USB cable is not providing enough power to charge the iPad. Do you have it plugged in to a USB port on a computer? Try using the iPad charger and that message should go away.

From page 35 of the iPad manual here.

That's my experience also, BUT I think there may still be appreciable charging* going on. So, you'll see "no charging" when it's charging slowly, then 100% when it stops charging due to being at full capacity.

*On an iPad mini, which comes with a 1A charger, a USB port that charges at 0.5A will say "no charging" when it's still charging at 50% of the max rate. Compared to a 2A charger, you'll get 25% of the rate with a USB port -- still very possible to hit 100% overnight.

It has to be the USB extension cord. I have used it with the ipad charging block and lightning cable. Odd that the behavior changes though. So don't use the USB ? It's convenient due to being able to charge while using it.

Just odd that the USB would sometimes say not charging and others 100% unless the outlet is doing something weird.
