Apple has stated that charging the battery beyond 100% could somehow harm the longevity of the battery. This was reported by CNBC’s John Fortt.
Apple said that when the gadget reads 100% than the battery also indicates it as 100%. It is actually full enough to give a user a kind of performance that they had promised during the time of their marketing i.e. the 10 hours of battery life. The company says that if users charge it more than that 100%, there is a chance that the longevity of the battery gets affected. They also said that it is not just an issue with the new iPad but it was also an issue with the previous ones well but that battery was 70% bigger.
This would be extremely odd and hence the researchers are looking on to some clarification on that issue. We have already observed that the new iPad continues charging for an hour beyond its 100% charging limit and had noted that you get longer battery for use if you try and let the iPad stay on those extra 60 minutes.
It would sound very surprising that Apple wanted people to pull the plug of the new iPad when it will hits 100 percent specially now as it will now require an overnight charging for filling it up.
Apple had still not said anything about this on its iPad battery usage / optimization page.
Charging Cycles: Charging Cycles may differ itself by use, environment, settings, configuration, and many other factors. A well maintained iPad battery is designed to retain up to 80 % of the original capacity at 1000 fully charged and discharge cycles. A user might opt for replacing the gadget’s battery when it no longer holds sufficient charge to meet the customer’s requirements.
The new iPad takes more time as compared to that of the previous iPad 2 which is because of its 70 % larger battery. The other thing is that the new iPad is not able to take charge when user is playing intensive graphics games and videos.
