1, I did a first full charge using original charger & cable. Charging stopped at 88%. I reset charger power, battery still stuck at 88%. I reboot ipad and charge again, now then I see the battery is charging to 100%

2, Once in a blue moon, I see the screen blink. Saw it 3 times already.

Updated: iPad mini white 16gb from Apple store.

Anyone experiencing battery drain issue with their iPad Mini? Upgraded to iOS 6.0.1 and my battery drains faster than Sebastian Vettel. Having similar issue with my iPhone 4 after upgraded to iOS 6.0.1 :(

Well, managed to solve my battery drain issue after upgraded to iOS 6.0.1.

For me, is the iCloud causing the issue. Delete the iCloud account (on both my iPhone 4 and iPad Mini). Waited a few hours, enable back the iCloud account. But this time round, am using the "@icloud.com" instead of "@me.com".

Watched a few 720p youtube videos and only used 1% of the iPad Mini juice :) Hope for the best!

I've upgraded both - iPad Mini and iPhone 4 - no issue.

Not sure if it's anything to do with the upgrading process, as this time round I did it through iTunes rather than OTA as I only knew about the higher version while doing a backup.

I wonder too, why does such a problem hit only some users and not across the board. Good info to know so we can all avoid it. :)

I was having the charging 88% issue also. I restart the iPad mini and charge again, it will reach 100%. So far hit once. I was searching this forum to see anyone have this issue 3days ago. Now I start to see I'm not alone.

Btw, my wife tell me she say the iPad mini blink also.

Hi, how's your new set? Anymore charging issue? Mine hit the second time. It will stop at 89% then I off the power and in again, it will show 92% immediately and resume charging.
