Old iPad Pro 12,9”. Bad battery continuous on power now, Is it dangerous?

Hi,


I have several Apple devices in my home. I now used a wall mounted frame to use an older iPad Pro 12,9” which has a bad battery. I was wondering. Is it dangerous to do that since the battery has died and it has continues power feeded from an adapter. Could it cause some hazord of any kind?


Regards,

Paul Sinnema.

Having an iPad continuously powered for extended periods is not an issue - as this is common practice in POS (Point of Sale) and Kiosk applications.


iPad will optimally manage battery charging - and may automatically change its charging strategy by reducing the maximum battery charge level to about 80% of maximum capacity. This strategy is intended to extend the life of the battery by reducing chemical ageing that occurs when the battery is continuously maintained 100% charge. When a “normal” charge/discharge pattern is resumed, charge to full capacity is restored.

A time will eventually come when your iPad is completely dead - and at this point, the iPad will be unable to run even when connected to its Power Adapter.
