Re: [iPad] IPad 2 ON or OFF while charging?

 

>> I've been reading through info re battery charging, but can't find a definitive answer - does it matter, or make any difference, if the iPad power is ON or OFF while plugged into a wall socket to charge?

Yes. But not much.

Whenever the device is On (even with screen Off), it is consuming some power. It will therefore charge at least *a little* faster if the power is Off.

That said, I plug mine in at night, power ON, screen On (displaying a "red-LED" digital clock), and it is fully charged long before I get up in the morning.
