3. Charge smartly

  1. Avoid letting your battery drain completely. 
  2. Start charging when your battery reaches 20%

4. Avoid extreme temperatures while charging

  1. iPads get warm / hot when charging.  Sometimes cases will hold in more heat
  2. Avoid charging in extreme heat (95 degrees) or cold (32 degrees)
  3. Avoid using the iPad while charging so not to increase heat buildup

5. Store properly if not in use

  1. If you are not using the iPad for an extended period (a day or more), charge the iPad to 50% and power it down.

  1. Make sure to keep the charging clear of debris. Use a soft brush or compressed air to clean out the charging port

7. Use the Right Charger

  • Use an official Apple charger or a reputable third-party charger that meets Apple’s specifications.

  • For faster charging, use a USB-C adapter with at least 20W power output.
