I wonder if it would be possible to have a setting where the battery wouldn't be charged at all while the iPad is plugged in? So it wouldn't cause an old battery to overheat and swell? I realize it's not good for a battery to sit fully discharged either, but would that work? I guess that would depend on how the power is directed to the iPad when plugged in. Does it always go to the battery and then from the battery to power the iPad? Is that why an iPad won't work with the battery removed?
