PSA: New iPad's Battery Will Take Longer to Charge
We had noted that one of the revolutionary features of the new iPad is its battery, which has 70% more capacity than iPad 2.
The new iPad comes with a built-in 42.5-watt-hour rechargeable lithium-polymer battery, compared to iPad's 25-watt-hour rechargeable lithium-polymer battery. This boosts the battery from 6944 mAh to a monstrous 11,666 mAh if measured in milliamps. It works out to a whopping 70% increase in the capacity of the battery.

Yeah, that kinda sucks but maybe it won't beA big deal if the charge lasts all day. Like heSays, it can be charged over night like I do The phone, well , correction, the 4S has to Get charged over night but also for a few minutes during the day. Hopefully this new Battery tech will help out the next phone especially if it's gonna have the real 4G because this 4S sucks, wether its the iOS or phone.

wow. a bigger battery requires more charge time ??? who'd a thunk ???? geez......post something newsworthy
-
There's always Android or Blackberry. Stop b*tchings. My 4S battery lasts almost 2 days between charges and if you own an ipad, you can charge it with the ipad charger from 5% to full in under 1.5 hours.

I guess Apple didn't also include a higher amperage charger. Ah well, overnight charging it is!
-
Around 8 hours from 0 is surely the charge time.
-
They need a better charger, this will take 8 hours for charge from 0 - 100%
