Should I charge it to 100% or just 80%? Does it matter for long term battery health?

Can I use my MacBook charger even though its higher watts than the iPad charger? Is that okay for battery health?

When I shake the iPad (I know you would never have to do this), the volume keys rattle a little bit. Normal? Other than this, everything else is in perfect condition.
 
It doesnt matter man....I was like that before always concern about battery health. Just use it and enjoy it. Btw my 11" refurb just came in and its perfect. No dead pixel, straight as a arrow and no rattling sound.
 
Charge it to 100% and the MacBook charger will work great. The battery charging management is internal to the iPad, so as long as you use a charger with enough juice, you can’t really harm the iPad. Can’t speak to the rattling volume keys, but I’ve never shaken mine before either!

Yeah I obsess too much about stopping it exactly at 80%. I need to chill. I'll try to stop worrying about it. Btw do they have issues with dead pixels? What's the best way to check?
 
Got my refurb 11 from apple last week. Still waiting for the cheap case I ordered to show up. Loving using it with my apple magic keyboard (not stand) and apple touchpad. This is my ghetto computer replacement and so far it’s awesome!
