The iPad 3 will reportedly have double the battery capacity of the iPad 2, according to a DigiTimes report.
The site is sticking to its earlier prediction that Apple will unveil both a mid-range and high-end model of the next generation tablet. It believes the high-end version will see its battery capacity increased to 14,000mAH from 6,500mAH.
In the report, DigiTimes notes that global production of lithium-polymer battery cells will top 400 million units in 2011, and the prices of the cells are expected to remain higher in 2012 after being hiked by 20% in the second quarter of 2011.
The site is also sticking to its prediction that the iPad 3 will be unveiled in January.

I really think it will not actually double usage with one charging... Processor and display will take some piece of that battery cake :)

To have twice the battery length would be really nice! :)
