   If battery impedance is used for the iPad health tests, by every right the   
   battery impedance tests should be used for the iPad also.   
      
   Can you take a look at my test results to let me know if you think that   
   important battery impedance testing method was used by the PC program?   
      
   Green battery icon shows charging lightning bolt and 100%   
   Your battery health is poor. 34% (inside an orange circle)   
   Technical Data   
   Battery Current Charge: 1859 mAh (88.2%)

   What to keep in mind   
   Battery Health refers to your battery's Effective Maximum Charge:   
      
   Health Capacity   
   Excellent: Battery can hold its full capacity   
   Good: Battery can hold between 90% and 99% of its original capacity   
   Average: Battery can hold between 80% and 89% of its original capacity   
   Poor: Battery can hold less than 80% of original capacity.   
    Consider replacing your battery.   
      
   Is this PC test of the iPad using the battery impedance testing methods   
   that the iPhone battery health monitor uses?
