How Many Low Battery Warnings
Ok I got the Ipad Mini Retina with IOS7 and I was wondering at what percentage do you guys get a low battery warning.
I got mine at 10% and another one at 5% The reason I ask is because I could almost swear that a little while ago I had a warning at 20% too and after checking it carefully I noticed I don't have it anymore (If I ever had it, I'm not sure) Anyone can confirm how many low battery warnings they have with their Ipads, whether you had a 20% warning and if for some reason you don't have it anymore? Thanks Last edited by Quexos; 12-27-2013 at 01:34 PM. |

I also have the same iPad, and believe the first time it's battery was running out I got a warning at 20%, which I thought at the time was rather early to give a warning.
Whether I still get it I am afraid I can't say ? Anyone else noticed ? |

I have an iPad 3 with iOS 7 and I just went from 30% to 15% without warning. I don't think I have gotten a warning at 20% before, but I couldn't swear.

20%, 10%, and 5% here. Has always been that way since iOS 1 I think?

Ok this is confusing now with you guys having different warnings. This 20% mark seems to appear with some and not with others.

It probably depends on what apps you use and how fast they drain the battery. And my reasoning behind that is because when you play a game or watch a movie, it can suck up 10% within 30 minutes sometimes. If you're using something like Marvin, you could probably last another 7+ hours on 20%. So there's no need to be alerted that you battery is about to go out. You could even take a few phone calls and be alright too. However, when you're at 20% and playing a game, like Plants Vs Zombies 2, within 30 minutes, you've lost another 10% and are then at 10%. So if you're in an app that is most likely going to drain your battery really fast, those alerts start popping up warning you that you either should get near an outlet NOW, or switch to something else. That is why we all have different percentages. |

The 20% battery warning for iPad was removed when going from iOS3.2 to iOS4.

@mesue is right. It's 10 and then 5% for iPad. iPhone is 20 and then 10% (maybe 5% too).

LOL--I've had an iPad air for a couple of months and have never received the warning. I'm so paranoid about my battery running out that I always charge my device is it gets below 70% and I hate seeing it below 50%

For best performance, it's recommended to let the battery run down to zero about once a month (http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html)
