When your iPad is connected to its Power Adapter for extended periods - such as when being used in kiosk applications where external power is connected for long periods of time - the iPad may modify its charging strategy and limit battery charge to ~80% of maximum. This modified charging strategy is designed to reduce chemical ageing that might otherwise occur if 100% charge is maintained at all times.


Nominal 100% charging will be restored when a normal charge/discharge routine is restored.
