How Leapp helps you

At leapp, we understand how frustrating it can be when your iPad doesn’t charge as expected. That’s why we’re here to help. We can explain what the “Charging not working” message means and how to fix it. We can also give you tips on how to optimally charge your iPad to extend its battery life. Our goal is to provide you with reliable, actionable information that you can use to get the most out of your iPad.

Maximize battery life

  • Brightness and screen timeout: Reduce screen brightness and shorten screen timeout (the time before the screen automatically turns off) to save battery power.

  • Airplane Mode: Turn on Airplane Mode when you don't need internet access. This minimizes battery consumption by turning off radio signals.

  • Background apps: Close unused apps completely, as some apps keep running in the background and can drain your battery.

  • Automatic Updates: Turn off automatic app and operating system updates, and manually update apps when you use them through the App Store .

  • Low Power Mode : Enable Low Power Mode in iPad settings to reduce power consumption.

Charging correctly

  • Original Charger and Cable: Always use the original charger and cable that came with your iPad or certified high-quality accessories.

  • Avoid overcharging: Don’t leave your iPad plugged in continuously after it’s fully charged. Unplug it when the battery reaches 100%.

  • Optimal Charging Percentages: Try charging your iPad when the battery is between 20% and 80% to extend battery life.

  • Temperature: Charge your iPad at room temperature. Extreme temperatures can negatively impact battery performance.

  • Use a power strip with surge protection: This can help protect your iPad from damage from power surges.

  • Disable computer charging: Charging via a computer usually takes longer than via a wall socket, so preferably use a wall socket.

  • Store your iPad at a suitable temperature: Avoid storing your iPad in extremely hot or cold places, as this may damage the battery.

Following these guidelines will help extend the life of your iPad's battery and ensure it charges properly.

iPad not charging

If your iPad isn’t charging or displays the “Charging Not” message, there are several things you can try:

1. Check your charging cable and adapter: A damaged cable or adapter could be the source of the problem. Try a different cable or adapter to see if that fixes the problem.

2. Clean the charging port: Dirt or debris in the charging port can prevent your iPad from charging properly. Use a soft brush or a can of compressed air to gently clean the port.

3. Reset your iPad: Sometimes a software glitch can prevent your iPad from charging. Try resetting your iPad to see if that fixes the problem.

4. Update your software: If your iPad still won’t charge, try updating your software. An outdated software version can sometimes cause charging issues.
