The new iPad continues charging for up to one hour after it reports a full 100% charge, according to comments made by DisplayMate President Ray Soneira to iLounge.
In iLounge's testing, the new iPad switches from a lightning bolt ("still charging") to plug ("done charging") battery icon 5 to 10 minutes after reaching 100%; Soneira confirmed that the iPad still charges even when it claims to have been filled.
iLounge also found issues with reported battery drain.
The third-generation iPad sometimes reporting a battery loss of just two percent over the first hour of testing, then averaging 10% of loss each hour afterwards while performing the same tasks.
It's unclear why this might be happening, the site suggests that perhaps Apple has taken a few liberties with reported battery levels to make it seem like the new iPad charges faster and drains slower.
