In addition, some after market chargers feature a thicker charging connector, which when combined with a case that restricts the charging port, are not compatible.

As tablets like the iPad 2 are increasingly used for critical business applications, the challenge becomes ensuring your battery lasts long enough to get you through your day. Lithium-ion batteries naturally lose some of their capacity over their lifetime. This process speeds up the more you use and recharge your iPad 2. Diminished battery capacity means you will need to recharge your iPad 2 more frequently to get through the day, and with heavy data usage, may get caught with a dead battery.

Charging your gadgets can be a pain. The charging cables you use to power up your phone, Bluetooth headset, tablet and other devices often end up in a tangle of cords on your desk or nightstand. Finding enough power outlets can be even more frustrating, with a limited number of outlets to charge all of your devices, or outlets that are located in hard-to-reach places.
