The team at SellCell<\/a> often see iPads that have been prematurely damaged or need replacement parts within the first year or so of their life, just because they haven\u2019t been used carefully. It\u2019s important to remember that at some point you may want to consider selling your old iPad and it will be worth a lot more money if it has been used properly. If an iPad is in good working order when it is traded in on SellCell.com it will be worth more money than if it has been misused.

We all pick up some bad habits when we use our iPads that we probably don\u2019t even realise that we are doing. To help avoid these unhelpful habits here are some top tips to put in practice to make sure that your iPad will go the distance and sell for maximum value when you look to trade it in!

1.Charge Your iPads Properly – Don\u2019t Overcharge<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you refer to this article<\/a> the site talks about how once a device has reached it\u2019s 100% charge you should not leave it plugged in as this can cause undue stress to the device and have a negative affect to the battery over the long term. The research actually indicates that lithium batteries don\u2019t need to be charged to 100% and should be removed from the charger. To avoid this happening it\u2019s much healthier for the iPad to be charged throughout the day whilst plugged in, rather than left charging overnight. This is completely contrary to previous advice that battery memory was optimised by long overnight charges rather than short, regular charges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studies also do now indicate that you should try not to let your battery regularly drop below the 50% mark. It is now considered to be the best charging practice to let it get to no more than 50% and then charge it up, (but not let it charge up over 100%). if your iPad goes to lower than 50% and then the user plugs it into charge this is not optimal charging and eventually the number of charging cycles that the user will get out of the iPad may reduce, leading it to be replaced at an earlier stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Don\u2019t Charge your iPad with non Genuine Chargers!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all know the situation of running out of power and grabbing a non genuine lead in the car or at home for that rapid power burst. This over the long term, is not a great thing to do. Not every device charges at the same rate, so it is important to use a charger that has been designed for your iPad. In fact the power that can be applied from the car can eventually cause a little chip called the CHARGE IC to burn out and reduce the devices lifespan<\/p>\n\n\n\n
