Won't Save Battery / Battery Life Getting Shorter

Sep 28, 2010

My battery life has gotten shorter and shorter over time. I've pretty much foliowed all of the basics, as explained in that post here re: battery management, draining fully once a montn then fully charging, turning Bluetooth, WiFi and location services off, brightness down, etc. I'd guess I'm getting 5 hours full operating time; it also seems to take less time to charge. This device always seemed to be a little shy of the advertised 10 hours, but it didn't matter that it might be only 8 or 9. But now it has to be addressed.

Any other ideas? Have seen a mix of posts about this subject. May need to replace the battery or...the entire device?

Mac SE, P-book 160,MacMini,G3,G5,MBP, iPad, lots of boxes with lights and things

I know backgrounder will kill the battery, but even when I'm not running backgrounder I feel Like the battery is running down faster. Am I just being paranoid or is anyone else having the same experience.

Battery Life MUCH Shorter

May 29, 2010

The first couple days it seemed like my iPad had an okay battery life, but now I can easily bring it down to less than 50% in a single day without too much trouble. If I don't charge it overnight, the next day within a few hours I'll be down to less than 20%. For example, charged it overnight and this morning just a couple hours later, I'm down to 80% and I really haven't used it much.Yes, I do have location services turned on, and the brightness was all the way up. But I am wondering now if those are everyone else's standard settings and still getting this WEEK LONG battery. I'm dead after two days!

IPad 3 :: Battery Life On 6.1.3 / Can't Save Files

Jul 19, 2013

I have an iPad 3 and am running 5.1.1. I really want to jailbreak it, but I never saved my SHSH when Apple was signing iOS 5 so now I can't save the files. I tried jailbreaking but I get an error with redsn0w and absinthe. I need to restore it, but can't because I need to update to 6.1.3. I have tried restoring from the iPad itself, but that doesn't work with errors when jailbreaking. I don't know if the battery life will be as good as 5.1.1, which I fear. I have an iPod touch 4G on 6.1.3 and the battery life is TERRIBLE. (I'm not concerned on iOS 6 features, just battery life). What have you noticed the battery life to be compared to 5.1.1?

How To Charge Battery For Best Battery Life

Oct 22, 2010

I have read all the apple pages on this (why they have to be in 3 documents is beyond me) and still can not determine WHEN it is best to charge? I have let my power run to 0 before recharging. This is how my camera batteries work best. So I am doing FULL charges, not PARTIAL charges.Also, when large battery pic says 100% charged, top right small battery pic says 98% instead of 100, twice now. Information:Ipad 3G & 13.3 MacPro

Increasing Battery Life Of Battery?

Sep 22, 2010

As I understand it, the iPad battery cannot be removed and replaced once it has reached the end of it's life. I recall that in some electronic devices(cell phones), the useful battery life can be extended by completely discharging and recharging one or more times. is this useful for the iPad battery?

How Much Battery Life Is?

Apr 6, 2010

The ipad has a huge battery, but if I'm tethering to iPhone does it die quickly? No use in having an ipad run 10 hours if the phone dies in 3 is what I'm getting at.

Also concerned if the 3g ipad might have significantly worse battery life.

Battery Life

Apr 24, 2010

Ever since I broke my 64 GB out of it's coffin I have been pretty impressed with it's snappiness and battery life. At this point I'm getting a little freaked out by it. Ilet the battery run itself out 2days ago and then proceeded to leave it charging via USB until approximately 11pm last night.
I grabbed it and laid in but for an hour and a half surfing the web and playing angry birds HD. I set the iPad on my night stand STILL at 100% battery life. I fought this surprising to say the least. I went bout m normal morning routine afterwhich I grabbed the iPad to surf the web and havey done so for over an hour now and the battery is still at 100%!!!
I am starting to wonder if this is broken lol. Any others experience this??

IOS Battery Life For 5.1

Mar 10, 2012

What kind of battery life experiences have you all been having after the update? I feel like my 4S has about the same battery life as before but my iPad 2 seems to be doing slightly better. My overnight drain and usage drain seems to to be doing better than before the update. It took about 40 min the other day to drop from 100 to 99% at about 25% brightness. I was able to watch an hour and 10 min of SD video from 100% and still be at 94% as well and that was with 90% brightness. Not really doing any hardcore testing just seeing if any one else seeing any changes. Especially since apple noted battery issue fixes in their change log.

Better Battery Life Wifi Vs 3G?

Jun 12, 2010

I traded my wi-fi version in for a 3G. I use (or used) both devices in identical manner(s) except now I navigate with 3g vs. wifi. I play the same games, watch the same content, browse the same sites, etc.. Really my usage is very similar.I got consistant 10 hour or longer runs with the wi-fi. I barely get 6 hours on the 3G. Yesterday, from 100% I went exactly 5:41 and this was not in Full use. Do I have a battery problem? This iPad is 4 days old. IT's seen exactly 3 full cycle charges, from 1% to fully formation:
macbook pro 15in / every iPod generation / iPad 3G Mac OS X (10.6.2) 2.66 Core 2 Duo , 4 gig 1067 DDR3

Long Battery Life

Jun 25, 2010

I had to go on a 2 hour car ride today to a consultant appointment at a new hospital (RNOH Stanmore), took the iPad (and phone for wifi tethering) and well, 7 hours later and the iPad is still rocking away with over 40% battery life (the Nexus is down to about 15%).

While I was in with the consultant, I handed the iPad to Dad (left him playing Flick Fishing HD, hehe! ) and apparently there was a lot of interest in it, but he could only answer "I don't know, I'm just playing a game" I haven't seen another one out in the wild yet! I'm so pleased the iPad exists, it's so useful for me. I'm just sad that most people I speak to think of it as a toy

Battery Life - 3g Version

Jul 19, 2010

Since i subscribe to MobileMe and set it up to my ipad, it is running out of battery very fast. I know that it is normal that it should reduce my battery life since it has to connect to a server to check and make updates of your contacts, etc.. if necessary but not at this rate.I made an experiment. My battery was full and the wifi was on. I didn't use my iPad for 24 hours. I didn't use it at all. I checked my battery after that and 46% was gone I turned MobileMe off and return to my regular daily usage (still with the wifi on) and the battery lasts for almost a week as it usually did in the past. I asked my friend who also has MobileMe set up on his iPad if he had this problem and he didn't. He told me this is because he has the 3G version of the iPad and the 3G uses less battery.

Poor Battery Life

May 28, 2010

I got my iPad and when I unboxed it it was fully charged.after a use of about 6 hours the battery was at 1% and the device turned off. I charged my iPad over night and today I am experiencing the same thing.To test it I streamed a video for 30 minutes and the battery lost 8%. So that gives me 375 minutes of battery life on one charge which is little over 6 hours and just what I experienced yesterday.Do I have to worry? May it be, because the battery isn't conditioned yet?
