Fully Charged iPad

Question

Fully Charged iPad

Okay so I know that Apple recommends that you should completely drain your iPad at least once a month, but what do you do when your charging it up. What I mean is once you see The iPad at 100% Battery should you disconnect it? or if not using it keep it charged until you need it.

Heard some postings on the net that you should disconnect your iPhone/iPad once it hits 100%. If you dont will this damage the battery?

Do the drain and recharge once per month to calibrate the level indicator. Other than that, recharge when you need to, and don't worry about leaving it on the charger. Do avoid deeply discharging frequently, and if storing the iPad for an extended period, turn it off with no less than a 40% charge.

For the recharge from empty once a month is right, u should do that so you can calibrate it. As for leaving in charged, it's totally fine. The rumors are for other electronics, Apple products when fully charged automatically goes to trickle charging (no battery damage) and you can leave it in for months if you want. No damage.
