It takes quite a while to charge it from completely drained to a full charge. It took me about 8 hours the first time. I have charged it the last few times with one light still showing and it took about 5 hours. However, it gave me over 10 hours of additional use on my iPad Air. I have totally charged my iPhone 5 twice on one charge of the battery. I have had one that I did not use for almost a month and it still had three out of four lights showing and was able to completely charge my iPhone. I believe the information said the battery would hold a charge for 60 days, but I have not personally left the battery unused for that long.

I don't know the answer to that. I do know there is a difference from the older IPads and the newer ones. You might want to check with Apple.

The battery is built in and the GPS comes with a USB charging cable. We use it connected by Bluetooth to an iPad and it barely drains down in a 6-7 hour day of driving. You won't need to replace this battery for a long time based on my experience. I'd guess 25-30 hours between full and low charge.

I purchased this iPad 4 my 8 yrs old. She watch shows and play games on this all the time. Hadn't heard her complain yet. And, it has been 2 years.

I let mine charge for about three hours the first time I used it and it lasted for well over an hour. After that I usually leave in on my desk solar cells up for two or maybe three hours per day between meetings etc, and it rarely runs out of charge. Personally it has totally changed the way I use my iPad, now I use it for much more content creation not just consumption, and I take my laptop far fewer places.

Depends. I use my ipad everyday. Movies, shows, books, web browsing, control dvr, etc. but i have friends that buy these and use them for a few weeks then they become paper weights. So it really depends on what you want to do with it. Before buying an expensive tablet i actually bought a cheap nexus to see if i would really use it, and come to find out i did, so i gifted the old one and upgraded. I am in the same boat as Richard, i love my ipad, as he's right about the electronics are never good investments, but iOS devices do retain their value better than others at least thats what I've read.

I have an iPad 2nd Generation. It only charges when not in use and takes several hours (too many, imho). I'm not sure how many since I charge it overnight. When I use my iPad while it's charging, it continues to lose its charge, as if it's not plugged in.

It was new at purchase. We had an issue with charging it up -- it took hours for the charge to move up a few percentage points. Advice I received from seller to re-boot the iPad by holding both the power button and main menu button worked perfectly. Once it rebooted itself it now fully charges in an hour or so.

If the person who posted before me actually has battery life that poor, he should return his product. I have the 30GB and I tested my battery life, twice. The first time I got 14 hrs, 15 min, and the second I got 13 hrs, 50 min. The battery life is as advertised. If you read reviews for the product on many diff sites, you'll find that often the battery life even exceeds what Apple claims.

This tablet uses an i5 CPU and uses more power then ARM processor. Mine last up to 5-6 hours of normal use. The battery tend to drain quicker if streaming video or using apps like Photoshop. Watching Netflix the battery drop to about 2-3 hours of use. Also the keyboard dock do not turn off and will drain the battery quicker.

Battery life depends on a number of factors. It depends on the applications that you use, the device settings, & the enviormental factors like temperature.It has about the same battery life as my 2 year old iPad. I charge my unit any time that I can, and use it while it is charging.

If it is brand new, it lasts about 20 mins on a full charge. However, since it's NiCd powered do not expect this to remain the case after it's a year or two old.

I don't use the keyboard as often as I thought I would but I use the case to protect the iPad. The battery on the keyboard does last a fair amount of time but seems to die when needed most.

No that is not normal. I have had my Targus Versavu for almost a year and have absolutely no problems with mine. In fact, I have been amazed how long the battery life is on the keyboard but my IPad has to been recharged about every 24-48 hours depending on its use. I try to remember to turn off my keyboard when not in use.I hope this helps.

My wife still uses hers after a couple of years. It doesn't get as much use as my ipad 1 but I don't really care for the ipad anyone.

My guess is refurbished. If it's new when you take it out of the box it will be wrapped in cellephane. Mine was not so I contacted Apple. they said it should be. Therefore, I purschased my ipad 4th generation directly from apple and I have had no problems and i'm extremely satisfied with it. It just cost alittle more.
