Charging Issue

New iPad 3: Top 6 Problems That May Cool Down Craze For New Apple Tablet Another reason why you should think twice before buying the new iPad - it does not charge as well as it is supposed to. Reports are making rounds that when playing games on the new iPad while the device is plugged-in, battery drains instead of charging. Apparently, the power input is not enough for running iPad and charging the battery simultaneously. Depending on the intensity of usage, the new Apple tablet will either lose juice or charge slowly while in active state. The fully-drained battery of third generation iPad takes a whopping 5.5 to 6 hours to gain 100% charge. There are also reports that the battery charge indicator might be misleading because the battery still continues to charge even after the indicator shows 100%.
