need to do any first time charge for our brand new ipad 2?

i used until 20% then charged it to full.

You can use it straight out of the box then charge 3-4 hours until full when the battery low

mine was already near 100 when first turn on...

I did not bother.I just drained it,and charged it full

Don't over charge it, overnight charging is bad, when the charge is over say 95%, it's time to stop.

ipad uses lithium ion which isnt the same as olden days batteries nemore. draining out 100% will kills the battery. usually smart device nowadays will turn off itself before the battery run 100% out. so, just charge whenever you feel like it.

google for further info.

U guys are outdated, lit ion battery doesn't have memory effect.

Guides suggest that short charge is better than long charge, so when ur iPad is at 70% and u are not using it. Just let it charge this prolong the life of the battery, instead of long hour of usage then only chanrge. Google it

This is not brick phone this is an iPad

Its on the apple website where they suggest users to drain out the batt completely once a month and recharge it to the max. If it kills the battery the they ought to get flamed lol

Speaking of ipad 2 charging,i wanted to know something.. is it true that ipad2 can't recharge using USB connected to laptop@pc just like iphones@ipod touchs??

p.s. been using the search function,can't find what i'm looking for..also dont want to create new topic,instead i post here..sorry TS

Once a month, you should perform a full charge cycle to ensure proper reporting from the battery indicator. To do this simply charge the battery to 100% and then use your iPad until the battery completely depletes (iPad turns off automatically at 0%). Then charge as you would normally do.

as i know it is better non let the ipad batery below 20%.
