HT4137 Battery life on original iPad

I've had my original iPad for well over a year. I just set up my 3G account within the last 30 days. Prior to 3G I had to charge every other day. Now, i will go through100% charged battery life with 4 hours with no change in usage and 3G turned off because I am connected to wifi. Has anyone else had this problem?

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

  • Does new 30 GB iPod have longer battery life than original 5th gen 30

    The claim from Apple is that the new 30 GB iPod has a brighter screen and that the battery life during video playback is 3.5 hours. The original 5th generation 30 GB ipod only claimed to have 2 hour battery life during video playback. Does anyone know if the new 30 GB iPod actually has a better battery or a more efficieant screen than the original or if these claims are only a result of the new iPod bios (version 1.2) which gives you a brightness control. Is a new 30 GB iPod better than a original 5th gen 30 GB iPod which has been updated to v 1.2?
    AMD64   Windows XP Pro   5th Gen 60 GB iPod Video

    Let me first not say Ha ha but The fourth Gen photo people said the same thing about when the fifth gen came out and we all complained. Also now that gapless playback has come out we all complained. So all I have to say is that at least you got the quick letter thing when you scroll and the games as well as gapless where we got nothing. I have owned an Ipod since the first gen and let me say I am supprised that apple even gave you guys some update. For all of your complaining, get in line.

    Latest firmware will depend on your operator branding; unbranded I think has the latest release of v31?
    I believe that later versions have improved battery life through better handling of the comms systems, better use of WiFi, etc.
    I'm getting up to a couple of days out of mine, keeping it to 2G (unless I need a big download fast), WiFi scanning off, screen backlight turned down, timeout set relatively low, etc.
    But if I hammer it, a bit of music/gaming/WiFi/calls and its dead within a day.
    You can buy higher capacity batteries, but I doubt they're recommended, as they require a new back (ie. bigger phone) or just won't be as reliable as the original Nokia kit.

  • My battery life on my ipad is dying fast

    I've had my ipad 3 since around March and was pleasantly surprised at how long the battery would last.  Recently, I've noticed that my battery is fading fast.  I haven't been doing anything different. I can't figure out what is wrong.  Anyone else experience this with their  Ipad 3?

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W).

  • HT1414 how do I optimize the battery life of my ipad?

    I need suggestions on how to maximize battery life.  It seems to discharge much quicker than I expected.  I have also had times when it has completely discharged while it was sleeping.  Diagnostics run and hardware is ok.  In the process of restoring and restarting.  Any other suggestions?

    There are some very good tips here. You'll also want to make sure bluetooth is turned off if it was off prior to the update. The update turns bluetooth back on. And make sure you don't have any out-of-control processes running that may be killing the battery. The out-of-control process is probably your issue as it was dying when sleeping.

  • Can I get a new battery for my original iPad 2 in the Uk?

    The charge doesn't hold for long now, is it possible to replace the battery? At what cost and convenience please.

    Yes you can. Last I knew it was $99 US. You'd start here

    to contact support, find out the cost, and make an appointment at an authorized service provider

  • Does it hurt battery life in an iPad to charge off USB in a car cigarette lighter

    Does it hurt battery or iPad to charge off USB Ina car cigarette lighter

    It won't hurt the battery, but due to the high current draw of the iPad it may cause the adapter cord to get very hot (maybe dangerously so if it is poorly made) and you might blow a fuse if you're feeding other accessories in your car from the same circuit.  Play it safe, use a car adapter that is rated to handle the iPad's current draw.

  • Save and Protect your iPad Device: How to Save and Prolong the battery life of your new ipad

    Please, as you read add more answers to this on how to prolong and save your ipad battery life. Thank you
    Saving the battery life of your iPad
    1.Keep Your iDevice Out of the Sun
    Whatever you do, don’t leave your iPhone or iPod sitting in a hot car—heat kills batteries faster than any other factor, and your device that used to keep a charge for hours will eventually barely hold a charge, and you’ll have to pay Apple to get it replaced. The same thing holds true for any really hot environment: try and store your device in a cool place.
    Reduce the Screen Brightness
    If you keep the screen at maximum brightness all the time, you’re wasting a lot of battery life—and the screens these days are so bright anyway that you don’t really need to, especially at night. Head into Settings -> Brightness & Wallpaper to adjust the default level of brightness, which you can probably keep as low as 30% most of the time.
    2. Make Sure the Screen Locks Quickly
    Even if you’ve adjusted the screen brightness, there’s still no substitute for having it turn off quickly when you’re not using it. Head into General -> Auto-Lock to set the screen lock to happen as quickly as your device will let you. This makes a big difference if you are always picking up your phone and putting it back into your pocket without turning the display off.
    3. Use Airplane Mode When You Don’t Need Internet (iPad/iPhone)
    If you’re busy spending the next 8 hours playing Angry Birds, there might not be a good reason to have internet access, so you can consider using Airplane Mode, which turns off both Wi-Fi and the regular wireless radio. Of course, this will prevent phone calls if you’re on an iPhone—but if you’re busy with Angry Birds you probably don’t want the interruption anyway.
    4. The more important reason to use Airplane Mode is when you’re mobile in an area with a really spotty connection—because the iPhone or iPad will try to stay connected at all times, it’s going to be constantly searching for a connection, which can drain your battery. Head into Settings and flip the Airplane Mode switch right up at the top of the screen.
    Use Wi-Fi Instead of 3G if Possible
    According to Apple, the iPad will get 10 hours of battery life under regular use with Wi-Fi enabled, but will only get 9 hours using 3G—the iPhone gets 6 for 3G and 10 for Wi-Fi. Of course, if you’re heavily using the Wi-Fi, you’ll still be draining the battery—the point is under similar workloads, Wi-Fi is better than 3G for battery life.
    You can enable Wi-Fi under Settings -> Wi-Fi, and then pick the network you’d like to connect to.
    5. Reduce or Eliminate Mail & Calendar Checking
    If you’ve got a bunch of email, calendar, or contact accounts configured, and they are all being checked and downloading email on a regular basis, you’ll be draining the battery an awful lot faster than you need to.
    Head into Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Fetch New Data and change the setting to the least frequent check possible. If you don’t use it often, you can just turn Push off entirely and then manually check when you need to.
    6. Reduce or Eliminate Push Notifications
    Do you really need notifications from Twitter or whatever other apps you’re running? You can turn these off one-by-one, or turn off Push entirely by heading into Settings -> Notifications, and save a bit of extra battery life since your device won’t be pulling in data for those applications anymore.
    7. Reduce or Eliminate System Sounds
    This one is probably a little silly, but if you really don’t care for the system sounds you can save a small amount of battery life by removing the sounds. A very, very small amount, most likely. Head into Settings -> General -> Sounds to change them.
    8. Disable Location Services
    If you don’t really need the location services, you can disable them to save some battery life. Head into Settings -> General and flip the Location Services setting to off.
    9. Disable Bluetooth If You Don’t Need It
    If you don’t use a Bluetooth headset or keyboard, you should keep the Bluetooth radio disabled to save some extra battery life. Head into Settings -> General -> Bluetooth to flip it on or off.
    10. Disable Vibrate Feature in Games
    If you’ve got a game that uses the vibrate feature, you can turn that off to save some battery life. This mostly matters if the game heavily uses it, and you’ll need to change the setting for the game. As a side note, and it should go without saying, if you’re running really intensive video games, they will kill your battery very quickly.
    11. Charge and Discharge Your Battery Regularly
    Your iDevice needs to be fully discharged and recharged at least once a month to operate at maximum efficiency and keep the battery from dying. You’ll also want to make sure that you don’t store the device with a dead battery, as that can also cause the battery to lose charge capability—when your battery dies, make sure to recharge it quickly.

    The reason that Apple suggests you drain and recharge your battery once a month is not because it affects the life ofthe battery. What it actually does is calibrate the battery sensor, giving you a more accurate reading. 
    Other than that, you done an admirable job of summarizing the Knowledge Base article:

  • Why is my battery life shorter on my ipad after downloading iOS 7.02?

    Since downloading IOS 7.02 the battery life on my Ipad 2 is much shorter. Any suggestions?

    See the following:

  • IPad 2 with iOS 7.03 loses 12% of battery life in 24h. in Airplane Mode

    Hi everyone,
    I've always tried to maximize the battery life of my iPad; I fully discharge it and then fully charge all the time, and I don't do more than 1 full charge cicle per week.
    In iOS 6 my iPad 2 was functioning nicely, with no noticeable battery drain in standby / sleep mode. The moment I upgraded to iOS 7 i noticed that my battery life was draining without using the iPad, about 1% per hour constantly.
    I started to do a little bit of research. I made sure first that the iPad really goes to sleep when I close the smart cover.
    I started to disable everything, one by one, removed all notifications, configured email to download only when I ask, disabled backgroun application refresh, closesd all applications before putting the iPad to sleep, etc.
    I notice a little bit of improvement in terms of battery life in sleep mode but I still had a visible unacceptable battery drain in sleep mode.
    I decided then to start real tests so I started to do the following:
    - I fully charged it and fully chaged it
    - when it reached 100% charge I kept it 2 more hours in charge
    - I closed all apps and then I did a restart by pressing simultanously the home and the power buttons for more than 5 seconds
    - I started the iPad, closed the smart cover to put it in sleep mode
    - after 24 hours it was showing 87% so I lost 13%
    Next test was similar but before putting the iPad to sleep I, put it in Airplane Mode. This time after 24 hours it was showing 88% so I lost 12%
    One very weird thing that happened during this last test was that after 24h in Airplane Mode when I opened the lid, and without turning off the Airplane Mode I got a notification that there is a new software upgrade to iOS 7.04 waiting for me to install. REALLY in Airplane Mode . . . ???? I do not understand.
    Have you noticed similar battery drain issues in iOS 7, did any of you performed similar tests ?
    I consider 12% battery drain in 24 h. in sleep mode unacceptable, really unacceptable
    My next test will be to turn it off for 24 hours to see how much is the battery draining when off.
    Maybe Apple people have something to say. I have an appointment to the Genius bar today.
    I'll keep you guys posted
    Titus

    Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
    Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight.  Do NOT use an iPod/iPhone charger.  Do NOT use a computer's USB port.  Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear).  An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
    I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem.  I am stating, however, that we don't yet know.  If the above test does, in fact, indicate a problem, read this.
    Also, according to Apple:
    Use Your iPad Regularly
    For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
    Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

  • I updated both iPad and iPhone to iOS 7.06. Battery lif goes extremely fast, maybe a tenth of what it was.

    I updated to the latest version of the iOS. My battery life on both iPad and iPhone have dropped to nothing. My phone goes dead by noon. I have turned off every "push" locator, everything I can think off. Is anyone else having this trouble?

    On my iPad 3, I noticed with the update to iOS 7.0.6 that it turned on features by default that I had previously turned off, such as Bluetooth. You might want to check to see if active features are now turned on that you previously turned off. Some of them, like Bluetooth, will cause an additional drain on the battery.

  • Why is my battery life getting worse on my ipad?

    The battery life of my ipad has begun to slump pretty bad. I am not using it any more or less than I always have but for some reason, the battery seems to drain faster than it ever has. Any thoughts?

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.

  • Why is my battery life going so quickly

    I just bought this iPad mini and the battery life goes down 5% in a half hour. How can I get more battery life?

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

  • Anticipated battery life

    I guess it has not been out that long to have a practical assessment but what is the anticipated battery life of the iPad with normal average 2-3 hour everyday use (browsing, emails,games,etc.)?
    What is the battery replacement procedure?

    Hi,

  • Power usage when using line out dock /poor battery life

    Hi,
    Does using a line out dock use more battery power than using the headphone jack?
    I'm asking because in real life usage I am only getting about 6 hours of play time from my 4GB Nano. For me real life usage is maybe 20-30 minutes of use at a time while commuting to and from work or going for walks. Much of that play time is spent using a line out dock connection in my car. I have an Aux port in my car and the sound from the headphone jack is horrible. With the line out dock it's great.
    I did run the Apple suggested battery test and when I leave my unit on and don't touch it at all I get about 13-13.5 hours of play time. So I'm trying to understand why that drops in half when I use the Nano the way I use it. Was wondering if using the line out dock is part of that. I do not have the Equalizer on, I use the Hold switch when I'm not using the Nano and am carrying it around in a pocket or in my purse, and I have the backlight set to 5 seconds. I don't use any of the extra features. I just play music. All of my music should be in AAC format. It's music I either purchased and downloaded from ITunes or music I imported from my own CD's using the default ITunes settings.

    I too share your frustration. I'm on my fifth iPad as an owner, and really like them, but Apple made a huge mistake with the Air 2 by making it thinner and putting a smaller battery in it. The iPad Air was wonderfully thin and didn't need slimming down. I get noticeably worse battery life on my iPad Air 2 compared to my first iPad Air. My Air had epic, brag-worthy battery life. My Air 2 has cringe-worthy battery life. Apple's product designers need to get their priorities straight: thin, when it compromises the user experience, is TOO THIN.
