An iPad charger is a very important accessory that owners of modern iPad2 tablets cannot do without, because their favorite device will not work without charging.
Types and modifications
There are adapters for charging different types. Keep in mind that in order to charge an Apple tablet, you need an iPad charger with a current of more than two amperes. From this it follows that charging for the iPhone and iPad differ in that on smartphones the current strength is less than one ampere.
There are chargers of various modifications. Very convenient to use with multiple USB ports that allow you to simultaneously charge multiple gadgets (iPad and iPhone). Devices with a sync cable are popular, which saves on consumables. From quality charger depends on how long the battery of the tablet will last. After all, cheap non-original charging is unreliable and will function poorly, since the characteristics of such devices do not always meet the established requirements, are short-lived and can damage the battery.
Most fast way charging iPad is to use USB, whose power is 10W. It is usually included with the device. You can charge your iPad (albeit more slowly) from your computer using high-power USB ports, or use your iPhone's power adapter. If you connect it to a computer using a standard USB port, it will be able to charge in sleep mode.
When charging the tablet via USB, make sure that the computer is turned on beforehand, because when connected to a switched off PC (in sleep or standby mode), the tablet continues to discharge. When testing prototypes was carried out, it was determined that the battery after 1000 charge cycles retained up to 80% of its original capacity. This is an excellent result. The modern market offers a large number of power sources and all kinds of chargers.
Charger for iPad
The iPad usually comes with a regular device, but there are alternative chargers, namely:
A car charger has appeared on the market. It is equipped with two USB ports, comes with a USB to Lightning cable, and is also compatible with the latest iPhones and iPads at the same time.
The more modern the tablet or computer, the more it consumes energy and discharges faster during intensive work. Sometimes you need to be in touch around the clock and continuously, and it is not always possible to use a conventional charger. This situation often arises when going out into nature, on expeditions and hikes. A convenient solution to the problem already exists. The best way out of the situation is to use it. With it, you can always be sure that access to electricity will be obtained at the most crucial moments of life.
If there is little time for charging, read and act.
Every iPhone owner and the iPad at least once a few minutes before leaving the house or office found its 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 carry external batteries, but know everything 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 to reduce the time iPhone charging and iPad - turn 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.

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.- Devices marked MFi (Made For iPhone/iPad/iPod) are approved by Apple and are more reliable but affordable.
- The cable must provide an output current of at least 2A, otherwise the device will charge very slowly.
- 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.

Try after it has been on charge for about 6 hours, put it into DFU mode. In dfu mode, you can fix the problem of turning on if the device does not charge, if it is impossible to restore operation.

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.
iPads in the small group have an ABA of 7,000 milliamps/hours and can be charged at 10 W. They can be charged from a PC, unlike the larger ones that lack power. Using a non-original charger can severely damage your tablet. Often problems with the battery start precisely from the fact that the owner used a non-original component. Moreover, the battery of the tablet is subject to wear and tear and over time it will become less time to hold a charge. In this case, it will be necessary to replace it with a new one.
The charger for iPad 2 has the following specifications: power 10 watts, (W) voltage 5 volts (V) and current strength two amperes (A). In addition to these characteristics, you can choose the shape and color of the charger. If you like bright colors, you can try and find this. 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. If you charge the tablet through a device with less current than the native one, then it will take twice as long. If you charge the iPad with a higher current, then the power process will be the same as with the standard current of not charging it. This is ensured by built-in internal protection mechanisms.
