- nix23 6y agoFYI that should NOT happen.
- arcticbull 6y agoBattery bulging is a manufacturing defect, nothing more. Apples battery management technology has gotten incredibly advanced over the years, and it charges and discharges the battery if you leave it plugged in.
- R0b0t1 6y agoCycling the battery as often as is typically done is worse than doing a bypass around the battery. The purpose it serves is reproducibly wearing the battery, trading battery lifetime for a consistent user experience with the gas gauge. (Monitoring voltage is not enough, voltage can drop very quickly at end of battery life.)
- xxs 6y agoAll it has to do is keep the battery below 4.2v. I don't see anything advanced in purposely cycling the battery. Li-Ion (li-po) chemsitry has not changed much in the latest years. Alternatively if detecting power for prolonged times (say 24-36+ hours, it can keep the battery at 4v)
- imtringued 6y agoThe reality is that most permanent iPad installations put the charger on a timer.
