Is this what is needed to keep up a charge for iPad 3. The battery quickly lowers more w/ games, and also w/ just surfing.is this the answer?

Yes it will charge anything. I have watched movies on 15 hour flights and barely used half of the battery.

This does charge my ipad air and 3. about 1.5 time per full charge. It will charge my iPhone about 5 times. It has been a good purchase.

I've only used this to recharge something that has run down and it works very well for that. I've used it for phones and tablets (including iPads). That being said, I am fairly confident that it would prolong the charge on a battery. By how much, depends on usage. I'm very happy with mine.

I actually purchased this to use while I was in the hospital for surgery since they never have available plugs for chargers. It worked very well and I had my phone and IPad charged at all times.

Would the WiFi version of the iPad be good enough for general surfing on the web? I would probably only use this during lunch or sitting around killing time when I am not at home, news sports etc. I would like to stay away from adding another monthly expense associated with the 3G.

Depends on how much consistent use you're asking about. For me, it always lasts longer than the iPad does, but as the previous answer said, I charge it with the iPad. I am not using it every day all day.

In a word, "No". It is designed to work with the smaller (iphone, androids) devices that don't draw as much current. This could charge an ipad slowly with the screen off but it does not have the capacity to fully charge an ipad or the amperage to "push" the electricity into the ipad at reasonable speed. You will need a battery with "2.1 amps" port and at least "12,000 mah" to fully charge a ipad 3 from 0%.

Sorry, I cannot really help. I have no devices like iPads that take more current to charge. Mine is used to charge 2 iPod Touches and two vanilla (old, not smart) phones. I also use it to charge a Kindle and occasionally another device or two. None of them high power. For my purposes, it works great.

I refresh at every charge. All it does is drain the battery all the way before it charges. And that is the best way to make batteries last. But there's nothing wrong with just charging up if you need them quickly

I don't have an iPad 3, but I don't think you would be able to charge both, simultaneously, from the USB ports. They're standard 1500ma ports and iPad 3 requires a 2100ma port to work. You could use an iPad brick and a USB port to charge both.

No this piece of crap does not charge my iPad 3 correctly.stay away from it .

I have used my Ipad 2 while its charging without any problems. However, it charges at a much slower rate while its in use. If the Ipad is fully charged from the outset, then it will maintain its charge while in use if charging.

I'm sorry that I don't know much about it. I had to return it, as it wasn't compatible with my iPad4, only works on iPads up to that version. It is a keyboard, that you charge. No batteries needed, and I understand that it holds a charge for quite awhile. It was a nice quality keyboard.

Yes. I have an iPad 3 and have charged it repeatedly on my power monkey extreme. Works fine.

I charge my iPhone, iPad at the same time and have never received a slow charge warning. I have not tried 3 devices at once, though. Hope that helps.

I don't have an Ipad 3 but, basically it will charge anything that needs a charge....I would say yes, now they do make larger power banks (for not a lot more money) if you would rather have a more powerful source. The difference would be, you may get 1 ipad complete charge with this power bank and if have 1 full charge is enough then this one would do the trick. But, if you would like to have enough power to charge it 2 or 3 times without plugging the power bank in, then you would want to go bigger.

I have tested this on a new 3rd generation iPad, and after running the ipad battery completely dead, I charged it up, and it got to a 30% charge.

I see the iPad air has an 8800 Mah battery so the should be plenty in this external battery to charge it close to twiCE. The usb cable you have know should work fine. Just start with the 1amp port first to insure it is charging. If you have a 110 volt charger you plug into the wall it will have the amp output list on it. If it is 2 amps or above you can use the 2amp port (faster charge).

Michael - It does charge the Ipad, but I have the version before the Air so I can't speak to that. It uses the same plug as the Ipad 1 & 2 so if the Air uses the same plug you should be o.k., but thought I heard that the Air was using a new plug scheme. Hope that helps. -Ken

You lost 4% battery in 20 minutes? That's about 12% an hour putting you around 8.5 hours. Yup, that's about right. It doesn't matter what programs you have "running" in the background. The iPad OS works differently from your Windows OS, the stuff is there, but not running. It will not drain your battery any faster. The biggest factor is going to be how bright your screen is. I usually have mine around 40-50%, plenty bright for indoor use and my battery lasts 9+ hours. Also if you're reading a book turning off wifi will help a bit. 9 hours of continuous use is PHENOMENAL for a device like this. I constantly use my iPad throughout the day and I have never drained the battery all the way. My Galaxy Nexus on the other hand is abysmal; after about and hour of talking and a few texts the battery is at 60% it's horrendous. When I got my first smart phone (a Droid X) I was constantly obsessing over the battery life and if it was dying too quickly or if it wasn't going to sleep properly. I would look in the app market for apps that would help battery, spent hours researching charging methods etc. and it really took a lot of the enjoyment away from me when using the device. Then I learned to just not worry about it, if it needs charged, charge it. Bottom line, so long as you charged it each night before bed, you should never get even close to fully draining it in one day. Unless you're using it 9+ hours a day to which I would say you have bigger concerns then just your tablets battery life.
