Apple iPad 2 Battery Specifications

Apple's never been so open about the kind of hardware they use 'inside', except for the processor, screen etc. I searched a bit online and found that iFixit folks have revealed the iPad 2 battery technical specifications. Check out this tear-down treatment done by iFixit: #-Link-Snipped-#
  • Lifting off the LCD exposes the iPad 2's battery; A 3.8V, 25 Watt-hour unit. That's just a hair more than the original iPad's 24.8 Watt-hours, so any improved battery performance can be attributed to software and other hardware improvements.

  • Also listed on the battery is a capacity of 6930 mAh, which may appear to contradict the already mentioned 25Wh at 3.8V ((25Wh/3.8V)*1000=6579 mAh), but 3.8V is the listed nominal voltage, not the average voltage. The average voltage of the battery over a full charge/discharge is closer to 3.6V leading to a more accurate calculation ((25Wh/3.6V)*1000=6944 mAh).
So there you go! 6930 mAh batter; quite impressive. Compare it with the 7000 mAh battery life of Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. What's important to note here is that iPad promises a battery life of about 10+ hours while Android tablets actually last for about 6-8 hours.

What do you think? Android takes the blame for draining the battery?
