Take care in dealing with finicky iPad batteries

Since my iPad's battery is not replaceable, I want it to last as long as possible. I'm trying to not abuse the toshiba laptop battery, but I'm reading conflicting reports of how it should be charged to maximize use.

What's your take?

Rechargeable batteries are great, but as technology advances to bring new types of batteries, there are sometimes new thoughts as to how to best take advantage of them.

The iPad uses a 25-watt lithium-polymer battery that gives up to 10 hours of use, according to Apple.

The iPad is very finicky as to how fast it charges.

The best and fastest way to charge is via the included 10-watt USB power adapter.

Since it really doesn't look different than other USB adapters, you would be led to believe that any USB port will charge the iPad.

That is and isn't true.

The USB standard for providing power to a device is 5 watts.

The iPad can charge with 5 watts of power, but only when it's asleep. If you've got an iPad plugged into any old USB port and the screen is on, it will show "Not Charging" next to the battery icon.

Rest assured that when you put the iPad to sleep, it will commence charging but at a much slower rate.

Some newer Macs have high-power USB ports, which will charge the iPad a bit faster, but do yourself a favor and use the included charger.

Apple says to keep the sony laptop battery away from extreme heat. Keeping your iPad in direct sunlight or in a hot car can severely shorten the battery's life.

I've seen iPads that have overheated and only have a warning icon on the screen about being too hot to run. That's a situation you really want to avoid.

Apple also says to charge your iPad's battery to 100 percent and then let it drain completely once a month to prolong battery performance.

I do this for my laptops, and I always let them run until they shut off by themselves, which is safely short of an empty battery. Then plug it back in, charge to 100 percent and don't worry about it for another month.

I set a monthly reminder on my calendar to discharge the battery.

With proper care, your iPad's battery should retain 80 percent of its original capacity after 1,000 charge cycles.
