Ipad air battery life

hey i just bought my ipad air and i noticed that battery life isnt 10 hours. Im watching videos from my ipad for my education and after 8 hours 40 minutes the battery has drained. Is that normal?

Apple states up to 10 hours. Depends on what you are doing with it. Sounds normal.

  • IPad Air battery problems, need help ASAP!

    My iPad Air battery drains EXTREMELY fast and it's supposed to have up to 10 hours (only 2-3 hours for me) and my iPad charger keeps charging backwards and it always dies even though it's charged. This makes no sense at all and it frustrates me because I have to leave it alone while charging but I want to go on it while charging. The charger takes FOREVER to get to 100% when not using it. My iPad Air is a 128 GB with wifi. Please help and tell me if this happens to you also. Thanks.

    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.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    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.

  • IPad Air 2 VS iPad Air battery Observation

    Hello, just had an interesting discovery (at least it was to me!)
    Comparing the original USB chargers for both my iPad air and new iPad Air 2, I discovered that the wattage for the iPad Air 2 was 10W and the iPad Air is 12W.
    I found this to seem a little strange, so I looking into the batter specs on both models and found this: 
    The iPad Air:
    Built-in 32.4-watt-hour rechargeable lithium-polymer battery
    The iPad Air 2:
    Built-in 27.3-watt-hour rechargeable lithium-polymer battery
    So... the battery is actually smaller in the new iPad Air 2??
    That's why it has a smaller watt USB charger?? Interesting!
    The iPad Air has great battery life... I know the new model is more efficient, and the battery life is supposed to be same most likely... But how much better would the Air 2 be with the larger battery?? Or did the larger battery have to be sacrificed to get the lower weight and slimmer size of the Air 2?
    No real question here, just an observation.

    Thanks Skydiver119, I've looked at all those settings - I allow nothing to run in the background, and turn off notifications for virtually everything.
    I think Skype is harder on the battery life of my Air 2 than my Air - maybe it's not optimized for the newer hardware, or maybe there are some OS updates that made it work less well. I went for a couple of weeks without using Skype at all, and my battery life was closer to what I expected it to be.
    My real point is that Apple made the Air 2 thinner than the Air for no good reason - the Air was wonderfully thin and light already. Taking away battery life for the sake of a thinner tablet is a waste. Especially when more and more competing tablets are offering better battery life (such as from Lenovo), Apple should care more about the experience of people using their product vs. being able to brag about a new product being thinner. Heck, improve the battery life and brag about THAT! :-)

  • Mid-2013 Macbook Air Battery Life has become awful-Not Mavericks related

    I have a Mid-2013 Macbook Air that I bought in July. i5, 1.3 GHz, 8GB RAM, 500 GB SSD.  I honestly thought that my horrible battery life was due to the recent upgrade to Mavericks (many MBAir users are having problems with 10.9), so I downgraded to 10.8.5 this AM.  With my backlit keyboard off and the screen at a mid-level of brightness, I am barely getting 2hrs of battery life.  Before I go make an appointment with the Apple Genius, I was wondering whether anyone has any suggestions.  I saw other threads on this issue, but none of them seem to really help.  Below is the EtreCheck file (there seems to be a lot of Symantec traffic, but I am not sure that is the cause).  Also, I am also running  "hidden" so I wonder if the constant location services are draining the battery.  Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.  Many thanks.

    Yes,
    After Mavericks install, your "time remaining" WILL BE INACCURATE until you do a SMC reset in many case
    SMC reset
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    There is a HUGE distinction here about someone getting less batt. life in actuality .......or are they just reading the "time remaining" and using that as a true indicator which is certainly is not.
    Ive seen 3 notebooks after SMC reset jump 4+ hours in "time remaining" and slowly climb after 3+ full charge cycles.
    Until things settle down, nobody should trust what the 'time remaining' says.

  • New Mid-2013 macbook air BATTERY LIFE decreasing fast?

    Hi,
    I just bought a new Macbook Air 13" 256GB , 4GB RAM. I'm worried about my battery life. With only 2 hours of just surfing the net and on 50% brightness, my battery life dropped to 60%. So every 30 minutes, it drops by 10%. I also found that my computer usage is 95% idle so how can my battery life waste so quickly??
    my battery health is 100%. Is that even normal for a Macbook Air that is only 5 days old?
    Thank you!

  • Having problem with Ipad Air battery?

    when I was watching Youtube, my Ipad Air ran out to 3% battery, then I plugged in the charger. It showed charging but it still shut down because out of battery. It's never happened to my Ipad 2

    I know this may have already been resolved by the above person but I just found out some information that may help some others in the rare event that this may happen to your iPad Air. My battery on mine was draining pretty fast almost 2 months after I got it.  Before that I started to notice the screen had a blue srteak or blob in it when I view a very dark background or picture.  I took to Apple store and discovered that the unit apparently had a leaking polymer cell within the battery its self.  Being under warranty,  Apple replaced mine and the battery is awesome now.  I have the T-Mobile iPad Air 16 gigabyte model.

  • How to extend iPad's battery life? I've tried everything possible

    So basicaly I have this iPad 3 for 2 years now, and the battery keeps on draining. I'm not sure if it reached it charging times limit. I've tried everything possible, disable unneeded stuff, turn off background refresh, auto brightness etc. I've even booked a Genius Bar appointment and the person checked my iPad's calibration and it was OK, and he said its not needed and the cost (in CAD) would be about the same for a new iPad. Also charging is freaking slow too, even when I don't use the iPad while charging. Solutions will be appreciated if there's none I'll wait until the holidays and buy a iOS 8 iPad

    Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good. If your computer/iTunes does not recognize the iPad, then the cable is probably bad.
    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.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    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.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • Ipad 2 battery life drain 10% by hour after 5.1

    Hello, my name is Martin Vila.
    I posted about this same issue a few weeks ago hopping that apple will give an update about 5.1 IOS for Ipad 2 but becouse I need my Ipad for dental school almost everyday i went and search a solution for my poor battery life. After upgrading to 5.1 my Ipad is almost useless with a battery life of 3 hours only with WIFI (this only happen hours after I update to 5.1) So i been searching on the web and I have found a few posts about this, but they are not confirm if this is an 100% solution, they say if i restored my Ipad from scratch using Itunes player my IOS will redownload and the battery will be ok ones again, so is this true, has anybody had this same problem before and had try this solution?, also if I restored my Ipad and I backup with Icloud my Ipad will be with the same apps and contents? I only care for "The skeleton system pro" app because I have a lot of notes in there.
    PS: Sorry for my bad grammar, but english is my second language, greetings from Peru

  • Since OS 7.1.2 Update...iPad Air Battery dead by morning

    I spent most of yesterday searching for solutions to my problem, and even tried a few things. However, when I went to bed last night, my iPad air was fully charged at 100%. I unplugged it and looked at the Usage data before putting it to sleep. Then this morning, I turned it on, only to see the Apple logo and then 1% charge left! I then looked at the usage data again before plugging it in to charge.
    Here is the usage data last night at 100%, before unplugging it and putting it to sleep:
    8 min
    8 min
    And usage data this morning at 1% before plugging it back in:
    5 hrs 58 min
    5 hrs 58 min
    This appears to have started after I made the OS 7.1.2 update. I've also noticed the problem on my iphone 5 as well...but possibly not to this extent.
    What gives here? Has anyone else experienced this? I'm about ready to do a complete wipe out of everything and start over as if it was new! But...it's an iPad Air and I shouldn't have to do that...in my opinion.
    For anyone wondering what I tried yesterday...this is what I did:
    1. Checked usage, then put into sleep mode and checked it 5 minutes later.   According to the "test", it does indicate a battery draining problem.
    2. Attempted to turn off "refresh background"...only to find I had already done that a long time ago.
    3. Turned off email push notifications and switched to "fetch" every hour.
    4. Turned off battery percentage
    Any help is appreciated! Apple...where is support for this issue?
    Thanks
    Laurie

    The more I think about this, isn't a black screen with the white apple logo the INSTALLATION screen? Not the downloading screen (which is white with a BLACK apple logo...)
    Can anyone clear that up?  Thank you!
    Ok: the MORE I think about this, that was the installation screen NOT the 7.1.2 download screen because now I remember it asking me to INSTALL it, .... definitely installation screen.
    So new question: even though it appeared to not finish installing before I rebooted it, do you think all is fine now?  Thanks!

  • IPad 2 battery life after overcharging

    Hello everybody.
    I recently accidentally left my iPad 2 on charge for about 2 hours after it had reached 100%. My iPad has never been through a complete battery cycle. Now that I have taken it off charge it seems as though it is losing battery faster than when it hadn't been fully charged.
    I hope for an answer.
    Thanks in advance.

    If you are using the Apple charger that came with it then you can't overcharge it, but if it appears to be losing it's charge quicker than usual then try doing a charge cycle and see if that makes any difference.
    There are also tips on maximising the battery life between charges on this page : http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html

  • IPad Mini Battery Life vs Memory Size

    Yes. Storage capacity has no impact on battery life.   How you use it will decide how long the battery lasts.

    Hi there! Hey does anyone know if the new iPad Air's battery is comprised of one cell or two? In the country I live there are limits on the w/h levels of individual cells that can be delivered by post...

  • IPad Air battery replacement.

    Realizing that this is an issue for the future.  Do we anticipate that Apple will support the eventual replacement for a fee, when the battery of the iPad Air wears out.  I have read about how difficult it will be to DIY.  This info might have a bearing on whether to get one or not.

    No reason to think that Apple will not offer battery replacement service for the iPad Air.

  • IPad Air battery overheats. why?

    iIpad Air -Over heat
    I have had an iPad Air for less than a year and it seems that now ir is overheatig. I only use my table from home for conventional use. Check emails, watch some videos on you tube, surf the web etc. My settings are well organized and never charge it for long periods or time.
    DOes anyone have have the same issue? Would it be the poor internet connection that is making my iPad work harder? Would it be the cover? Is it the battery?
    thnk!

    1. Are sure it is the battery and not the iPad?
    2. Gets hot during charging?
    3. Get hot when playing graphic intensive games?
    4. Does battery give you approximately 10 hours of use per charge?
    5. Does it takes a long time to charge?
