Like any electronic device, iPad needs to be recharged from time to time. What if the original cable breaks? Is the original charger out of order or lost? What to charge?

Many Internet resources warn users against buying non-original accessories, scaring them with the most unfortunate consequences. Let's clarify right away: cables and adapters for Apple made by no-name manufacturers are not worth buying. Such accessories are sold in bundles in transitions, they do not have any technical documentation and there will be no one to make claims later.

However, if the manufacturer is known, there is a guarantee for the product and the trademark has existed for more than a day, you can buy a high-quality non-original iPad charger with a significant benefit.

Charging cable

When choosing an iPad cable, consider these guidelines.

1. Devices marked MFi (Made For iPhone/iPad/iPod) are approved by Apple and are more reliable but affordable.
2. The cable must provide an output current of at least 2A, otherwise the device will charge very slowly.
3. When buying, inspect the cable: it must be made neatly, without bumps and plastic burrs.

More information about right choice cable for iPad you will find in this article.

Adapter for charging from the mains or cigarette lighter in the car

Charging the iPad via cable from the port of a computer or laptop is an extremely thankless task. Most computers (except MacBooks) have a maximum output current through the USB port of only 0.5A, which is not enough to charge a tablet. Therefore, you can not do without a mains charger for iPad.

Among network adapters choose devices that produce at least 5 W and 2.1 A. If you have several gadgets and you often take chargers on trips, pay attention to devices with two connectors that can simultaneously charge a couple of devices.

When choosing a car charger for iPad, consider not only compatible specifications(current and voltage), but also the length of the plug. Cars have different cigarette lighter depths, and the car charger must be held securely.

Remember that the quality of an analog charger cannot be judged by the country of manufacture. Apple also likes to save money and makes many branded accessories in China. But good analogue has similar specifications and warranty from the manufacturer.

If there is little time for charging, read and act.

Each owner of the iPhone and iPad at least once a few minutes before leaving the house or office found his gadget in a discharged state. You can write yourself notes and reminders as much as you like about the need to charge the device in the evening or wear external batteries but know all about fast charging will not be redundant.

To recharge the battery as quickly as possible, do the following:

1. We do not use the gadget while charging

No matter how trite it may sound: do not play on a charging phone, do not look at photos or videos on it, and do not surf the Internet. Without constant energy consumption, the battery will replenish its capacity faster.

2. Charge iPhone from a wall outlet

Of course, if only a laptop or PowerBank is at hand, then there are no other options. If there is a mains charger, definitely use it.

3. We observe the temperature regime

use gadgets in a certain temperature range. If the temperature at the charging point is too high, do not leave the device in direct sunlight, and if overheating is detected, remove the protective cover.

4. Put your device in airplane mode

Most effective way Reduce iPhone and iPad charging time by turning on airplane mode for a while. Wi-fi, bluetooth and GSM modules will be turned off, which provide a stable power consumption. Without a network connection, there will be no background synchronization of applications, constant messages from instant messengers and social networks, calls and letters.

Take a break for 30-40 minutes from your device, and during this time it will receive a greater charge of energy.

5. We use original chargers

We regularly warn about the dangers of non-original accessories. Very often they lead to the failure of certain components of the device and costly repairs. Even if the Chinese charger is working without problems now, this does not mean that in the future it will not cause a breakdown.

Next in iTunes press the recovery key and wait for the process to complete. This may take a couple of hours. During this procedure, all your data will be lost. You can add them from backup, if there is one.

How to choose a charger

It is conditionally possible to divide tablets into two groups: large and small. The first group includes devices from 9.7 to 12.9 inches, the second 7.9. Accordingly, they will be charged different devices. Battery for iPad 2 belongs to the group of large and has a corresponding capacity. Typically, the ABK is greater than 10,000 milliamps/hours. In order to charge such a battery, you need from 6 to 9 hours. Power is supplied by 12 W power supplies.

The charger for iPad 2 has the following specifications: power 10 watts, (W) voltage 5 volts (V) and current strength two amperes (A).

Parameters suitable for a specific tablet correspond to some of the chargers that come with the iPhone. The voltage of the charger must match the native one, otherwise you risk damaging the tablet.

The strength of the current determines the speed at which the process of filling with energy takes place.
