iPad 3 charging time

Mine certainly doesn't take that length of time. It easily charges over night from empty to full.

Have you tried closing out all apps to ensure that nothing is running in the background. I also turn it off completely to ensure that it isn't connected to the network. Also worth checking that you're using the 10W iPad charger rather than inadvertantly an iPhone charger which has a lower power.

Hope this helps.

My iPad needs 6 h 15 min to charge from zero to 100% using the iPad charger.

Yer but the new iPad charges way passed 100 apple need to up the power supply 6 and half hour that a quarter of a day sort it out

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.

Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Apple Explains New iPad's Continued Charging Beyond 100% Battery Level

Yes, based upon some outside testing I've read, it should still be charged for 2 hours 10 minutes AFTER it reaches 100%. If you charge the unit for about 7.5 hours using the wall charger it came with - you will achieve its FULL charge, and should then get 9-11 hours of heavy usage time, if the battery and unit are properly functioning.

Picard,

Read the article link above where Apple explains the charging level.

There is no need to charge another 2 hours if 100% loaded.

Tom, great set of links, thanks! In fact, those links are almost good as those at Augusta! 😁

The article is older than Apples response here:

So what is the solution to this. I charged my iPad all night and it went from 6% to 53% used the iPad charger that came with it. What do I need to do then? I don't understand the solution.

Lilkay, did you plug it into the usb of your PC or did you use the AC connector to plug it into your wall?

Using The PC will load the iPad slower than the AC connector. My iPad3 will be full charged in 6 h 15 mins using the AC connector
