Like any electronic device, iPad requires charging from time to time. What if the original cable breaks? Has the original charger failed or been lost? How to charge?

Many online resources warn users against purchasing non-original accessories, frightening them with the most dire 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, do not have any technical documentation, and then there will be no one to file a claim with.

However, if the manufacturer is known, there is a guarantee for the product and the brand has been around for several days, you can buy a high-quality non-original charger for the iPad with a significant benefit.

Charging cable

When choosing a cable for your iPad, consider these recommendations.

1. Devices labeled MFi (Made For iPhone/iPad/iPod) are made with the approval of Apple and are more reliable, but affordable.
2. The cable must provide an output current of at least 2 A, otherwise the device will charge very slowly.
3. When purchasing, inspect the cable: it must be made neatly, without any unevenness or plastic burrs.

More information about making the right choice You will find cables for iPad in this article.

Adapter for charging from the mains or cigarette lighter in the car

Charging an iPad via a cable from a computer or laptop port 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 cannot 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 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 your 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 produces many branded accessories in China. But good analogue has similar technical characteristics and a warranty from the manufacturer.

In the Partner online store you can buy various charging device for iPads and Apple gadgets. You can pick up your order at our retail points of sale in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The goods are delivered by mail throughout Russia.

If you don’t have enough time to charge, read and act.

Every owner of an iPhone and iPad at least once, a few minutes before leaving home or office, discovered his gadget in a discharged state. You can write notes and reminders to yourself as much as you like about the need to charge your device in the evening or wear external batteries, but know everything about fast charging it won't be superfluous.

To replenish the battery charge as quickly as possible, do the following:

1. We do not use the gadget while charging

No matter how trivial 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 your iPhone from a wall outlet

Of course, if you only have a laptop or PowerBank at hand, then there are no other options. If you have a wall charger, definitely use it.

3. Maintain temperature conditions

use gadgets in a certain temperature range. If the temperature at the charging location is too high, do not leave the device under direct sun rays, and if overheating is detected, the protective cover should be removed.

4. Put the device into airplane mode

The most effective way to reduce the charging time of your iPhone and iPad is to turn on airplane mode for a while. Wi-fi, bluetooth and GSM modules, which ensure stable energy consumption, will be turned off. 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 30-40 minute break from your device, and during this time it will receive a greater boost of energy.

5. We use original chargers

We regularly warn about the dangers of non-original accessories. Very often they lead to failure of certain components of the device and expensive repairs. Even if a Chinese charger works without problems now, this does not mean that it will not cause a breakdown in the future.
