Charging a completely discharged iPad

<< < (2/2)

Weogo:
Hi Folks,

My Ipad doesn't charge in the dock at all.
Is the proper sequence to turn on the mixer, and then slide in the Ipad?
Do I need to re-boot the Ipad?

Thanks and good health,  Weogo

Li batteries are finicky creatures and need special charging techniques. A deeply discharged cell will require a trickle charge until it reaches a certain voltage before a heavier charge can be applied. Apple follows this procedure. If you want the nitty gritty details read this.

It's not a good idea to subject them to too many deep discharges, it shortens battery life.
Weogo you have a DL problem if your iPad charger works just fine. No special sequence required other than power on the DL.

Hi WK154,

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, the Apple charger works fine.

I'll contact Mackie about this.

Thanks and good health,  Weogo
