5. Forever Young iPad Batteries

"Out with the old, in with the new" might be a wise saying, but it's a less-known secret of iPad batteries: they enjoy partial charges even though they don't act their age! : Due to the lithium-ion batteries in iPads having no "memory effect," they can be charged at any percentage without affecting their battery life and can last up to 10 hours, depending on screen brightness and running apps. However, to keep it forever young – or at least prolong the battery life – close those pesky background apps, tone down your notification enthusiasm, and turn down the lights (screen brightness, that is). PowerGistics has your back (and your battery) with its efficient solution for charging and storing multiple iPads at once!
