For like the past year or so, my iPad Air 2 has experienced some charging issues, which have recently become worse.
If I unplug my iPad and the battery drains some, and then I plug it in to charge, it has not been charging right away. For instance, I might watch a movie before going to bed, and use my iPad while watching the show. Depending on how long I use it during the day, it might go down to 80%, 75%, 70%, 60%, 50%, 23%, etc. I then plug it in before going to bed. iPad will make the connection noise when I plug it in. I then get up in the morning, and the iPad is still at the exact same percentage it was when I plugged it in the night before.
At first it used to keep that percentage for an hour or so after I got up, and then begin to charge normally. It would charge fully usually by noon or so.
Over the Past week or so, it has been taking longer to fully charge. For example, one day I had had it plugged in all day, and it never reached 100% charge. However, in the evening I unplugged it and used it, and the battery got down to 23%. I then plugged it in before going to bed. I think when I got up the next morning it was at 24%. It stayed at 24% for a few hours, then it would very slowly start to charge. A couple hours later it was like 27%. Then in the evening it was at 49%. It was still at 49% when I went to bed that night. It was at 49% for most of the next day, then slowly increaesEd in charge. I cannot remember if it fully charged before I went to bed that night, or if it took another night and part of another day to reach 100%.
The day before yesterday, I had used it some and gotten it down to 80%. I plugged it in to see if it would charge. It would not for a long time, and actually started losing a few percentages of charge. It was around 78% charged for most of the day, then finally charged back to 100% in the evening.
This reminds me a little of my phone’s battery optimization thing, but it does not take over 24 hours to charge the thing. Does anyone know if there is some kind of hidden battery optimization thing for iPads that would cause this kind of charging behavior, or is this likely some other issue?
Has anyone ever experienced charging behavior similar to this?
