Battery issue

Is it fine to leave my iPad plugged in like forever I don’t really care about the battery anymore but I’d like to know if any other components besides the battery can break Or if possible if the battery breaks will I be able to use it while charging only?

iPad Air, iOS 12

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.

No. Do not leave an iPad plugged in forever. It may overheat, and if there is a surge, it may affect the charge. Charge it, and use it while it is plugged in. Place it aside when no charge is needed.
