An extremely common act that we do almost daily with our iPad is to recharge it. But sometimes this loading may not be entirely efficient and may be somewhat slow. In this article we discuss how you can speed up this type of loading with a series of tips.
Check the charger
When there are problems in charging an electronic device, the first thing to do is be wary of the charger itself. This is where the problem may be with inefficient power or waste through heat. It is important that we check that neither the charger nor the cable has clear damages such as breaks or bent tips. It is never recommended to charge a device with a charger that is not in perfect condition. The same thing happens when we talk about chargers that are not certified by Apple itself or are false. If you do not want to damage the equipment, we always have to be very careful with this type of chargers, which a priori can be much cheaper.
If the charger does not have any type of problem, we will go to see the plug that may also be responsible. You will need to check that the charger stays firmly in the wall socket. Obviously, the cable is firmly connected to the iPad is another essential requirement for charging to work properly. If unfortunately it does not connect correctly and you have to put it in a strange position, you must take it to repair.
Clean the charging port
Although we are talking about an iPad and not an iPhone, the charging port can get dirty. This can be caused by carrying the iPad in a backpack that can cause lint to enter the connector. In the end, this fluff can end up causing the charging cable not to connect correctly and one of the pins not to interact. In order to remove the dirt that exists in the charging port, you can focus with a flashlight to see if there is any dirt and if there is, carefully insert a needle to remove it.
Force restart
Sometimes there can be problems in processes that have been looped and can only be stopped by putting the iPad in DFU mode and restarting it normally. To do this, the steps vary depending on the iPad you have in your possession:
- For iPad models with Face ID: Quickly press and release the volume up button. Quickly press and release the button to decrease the volume. Press and hold the top button until the device restarts.
- For iPad models with a home button: Press and hold the side (or top) button and the home button for at least 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo.
If you do this it is possible that they end up solving all the errors you have with the load. And this is also recommended if the device consumes a lot of battery without any logic.
What to do if the iPad is 80% charged
It is quite common to see how the iPad stays at eighty percent of its maximum load without any explanation. This can be a protective measure that the iPad has to prevent the battery from ending up deteriorating. You should check that the iPad is not too hot while it is charging as this causes the charging to end up stopping before reaching the end.
To prevent it from heating up, it is important to charge it without any cover and in a room that does not get direct sunlight. With these tips you will rarely get stuck at 80%, although it is also important not to recharge it with a charger that has more power than the device itself supports.
Contact Apple
If none of these tips have helped you recharge your iPad faster, it’s time to contact Apple to request a diagnosis and the corresponding repair. It is possible that the battery has a factory problem that does not end up being solved at the software level. This makes it necessary to replace it with a completely new one as soon as possible. If you have a warranty with Apple, call the technical service so that it can be changed as soon as possible so that you can continue enjoying your iPad.
