Charge Percentage

[Honey Beagle]

Since updating to 13.1.2nthe highest percent charge on iPad 12.9 is 95 percent. Anyone else getting this as well?

I have read several times that keeping electronics (especially phones and tablets) at 100% charged can damage them. Maybe that's why?

On my iPad mini 4 - no, not seeing that.

I know it's not the same hardware, but on my iPad Pro 9.7" I see 100%.

Same here.

You know what. I like your reply. Makes sense. Much appreciated.

You might want to consider checking in your settings to see if "Optimized Battery Charging" is toggled on. For anyone who needs to check this, go to Settings>Battery>Battery Health>Optimized Battery Charging. If the toggle is white, tap it to turn it on. When it's on, the toggle should be green.

I do not see that setting. Here is what I see.

Did you tap on Battery Health?

When I choose battery health nothing happens.

Are you referring to iPhone or iPad - my mini4 iPad does not show Battery Health, but it never has...

I think optimized charging is hardware related. My 9.7 IPP doesn’t have it either. I know the 7 Plus had it but unsure of earlier devices.

Optimised Charging and Battery Health are iPhone only features. The OP is using an iPad and they are not present on those.

You are so right. I am referring to iPad Pro. So the one reply would make sense about nit charging to 100%.

My 6s Plus has it.

Thanks for clarifying!

That really only applies to laptops, when they are run for weeks/months at a time while plugged in.

Phones and tablets are used on battery all the time. Charged to 100% then used all day long is not an issue. It is 100% for a couple hours at best.

Then I will charge my other iPad to see if that hits 100%. If not then the charger/or cable would be the problem.

Good information on that web page.
