How long does it take your iPad to charge?

[Angelsus]

Just wondering, mine takes about 8 hours from almost 0% which seems like a long time when compared to my iPhone.

bump - I don't have one, but there were quite a few keen to get them some weeks ago !

How are you charging it? It really needs it's own charger it came with, or the longer version you can buy, rather than charging it via the USB - it won't charge at all from most older computers & charges more slowly from newer ones. If you do want to charge it from a computer or a docking station, or if you usethe iPhone charger, you will probably need to put it to sleep first and even then it will take longer.

I usually charge mine overnight (next to my bed, so I can pick it up & MN the moment DH brings me my morning cup of coffee) so I don't really see how long it takes

Last night I forgot to plug it in, so it was down to 43% this morning - it's now up to 45% after about 3 minutes. I will keep an eye on it and report back...

The upside is that it also takes a long time for the battery to run down!

Mine definitely doesn't take 8 hours. However I never run it down to 0 I would always charge it at 20%.

I keep mine by my bed and charge iPhone and iPad alternately. When iPad gets opened in the morning then iphone gets a turn on the charger.

Dh says his takes hours to charge if it has run right down. All because of its big battery apparently!

Dh just never lets his run down that far and will do what Rusty does and charge it by the bed.

It's now 53%, so that's 10% in 25 minutes since I plugged it in, which if it was consistent would mean it would take just over 4 hours to charge fully from 0%. But it may take longer to get going if it's run right down, like Alouiseg, I usually recharge at about 15-20%. It did go right down once, but I charged it overnight & it was back to 100% in the morning & I rarely sleep for 8 hours!

I should mention in my timings that I am of course actually using it at the moment while it's charging -presumably it would be a lot quicker if I let it sleep.

Maybe the ads should have a few seconds more "it will run all day" (as you see someone carrying it while sitting pillion) "and charge all night" (nightlight, iPad on its own cushion on a bed, view of twinkling stars outside)

It's now 100% but I forgot it & let it go to sleep when it was about 60% around 45 minutes ago - so it did about 15% in 2.5 hours in use (I did download 2 games in that time & play one of them for about an hour-Osmos is fab!) and 40% in 45 minutes while sleeping.
