Weird Battery

[MJedi]

Hello all,

Something weird just happened to my new iPad's battery. It was fully charged overnight. When I woke it up, it was already at 98%. Then the battery started going down quicker than usual. I restarted it, and now it's back to 100% and staying there. Anyone experienced this?

You've got a partial charge. Check your charger to see if everything is connected properly. This can happen on any electronics using li-ion batteries. You'll want to drain the battery full way and then recharge it until it reaches 100%. That normally stabilizes the battery so then it knows how much real charge it has.

Nothing to worry about, like whtrbt7 said.

Yes, this is called calibration, and really let go dead, zip, nada.

You need to relax.

LOL thanks everyone. I was not panicking. Just thought it was weird. Had an iPad since the first one, and never saw this before. I got this new iPad at launch. Okay, I'll just chalk this up to solar flares or a glitch in the Matrix.
