What can I do to increase battery usage time to greater than 6 hours?

What can I do to increase battery usage time to greater than 6 hours?     I have a New iPad purchased 03/23/2012 64K-WiFi.    I recharge it and get another 6 hours usage.  I am using it primarily for reading books.  Are there any applications I can turn off to get back to 10 hours?

@Ralph9430   The changes you recommended were implemented.  This afternoon approximately at the same time and with similar usage all day The New iPad had 36% left on battery.  This is a gain of 30% battery life.  Thank you.  Your suggestions resolved the issues.

    Hi,
    I asssume it's a laptop!
    1st I would run it right down & then do a full recharge, then run it down again + a full recharge..
    Check that you do not have any apps running in the background, reset PRAM..
    When all's done I usually run a movie & time how long the battery lasts..if after that & no joy call Apple Help..

    What can make the iPod 4G battery damage?

    Leaving it plugged in all the time can damage it, it needs to be cycled every now anda again. It keeps its internal resistanc from building up too much.
    Obviously, dropping it, getting it wet, lighting it on fire ect will also damage it.

  • Drastic reduction in battery usage time after OS B...

    Drastic reduction in battery usage time after OS Belle update. Without calls or any application use  - one day! I am using a Nokia C7-00.  Any solution to the problem?

    Many folks, including myself have had success with correcting this with a battery cycling...
    Basically...drain the battery until iPhone shuts itself off...Then charge using a home power outlet and NOT a Computer USB...
    Then allow it to drain again fully until it shuts off...then again Charge fully using Home outlet...
    Even though these batteries don't carry memory...this process seems to correct battery issues with the cells themselves just not acting properly...

    Ok - an update ...
    Managed to get the phone to backup to iCloud, so decided to risk the "Factory" reset.
    Took the reset option including delete all data and crossed fingers.
    It took a while to resotre from iCloud, but everthing seems to be back and ...
    Bluetooth now working agaim.
    Backup to Computer working again.
    And somewhat to my surprise, GMail in the mail app is working again. (The surprise being that the implication of other posts was that this was a 6.1.3 fundamental bug)
    Still no idea why the iPhone was corrupted - but at least the "Factory" reset seems to have recovered the situation.

  • Is my iPhone 5s battery usage time normal?

    Hey there, I would like to find out is my iphone 5s battery usage time normal? Last night before i plug it in for charging it was recorded 4 hours and 33 minutes of usage time and 13 hours of standby.
    is that normal? The most usage time i have tried before is up to 5 hours.

    are you using it on wifi or cellular data? if wifi then it just the same on me. 4-5 hours.

  • I am looking for an app that can unmute my iphone after a preset time, eg 1 or 2 hours. Does anybody know an app with this feature?? The apps I have found are linked to a calendar or a place, I just need the timer function..

    I am looking for an app that can unmute my iphone after a preset time, eg 1 or 2 hours. Does anybody know an app with this feature?? The apps I have found are linked to a calendar or a place, I just need the timer function..

    thanks. yes i am aware of the VoiceOver feature but it is NOT the solution to my problem. as you said, it is a solution to a different set of issues. i want the text to speech ability because i there are books i need to read but do not have the time to sit down and read them and have become used to listening to them read to me either by a professional human reader or with the text to speech software on the Kindle.
    I think Apple makes the best audio devices but i am really disappointed in this inexplainable shortcoming. if apple can give us siri they ought to be able to design a nice little button that i can push to turn on text to speech while i am in a document, book, magazine or webpage. clearly it is possible as apple has added the "reader" button in safari to have web pages dropped into the reader format.
    thanks for your suggestion though, it is what everyone suggests but it does not address the issue.

  • What can I do about my battery life?

    Ok so I know that my iphone is really old. I bought it in 2009 and it has been a really good phone until about 6 months ago when the battery life went downhill. My phone will not hold a charge for more than 5 min. I will let it charge for a few hours and the battery will be full but when I take it off the charger, it takes 5 min for the phone to die. What can I do about this? I've tried restoring it to factory settings and that hasn't worked.

    The battery is shot.Lithium batterys have a limited number of recharge cycles. Yours is shot.You would have to have it replaced.I personally don't think it would be worth the cost to replace it on a 3g,especially since you can get the 3gs for free with a new contract.

  • What can i do if the battery doesnt last me 6 hours?

    my macbook pro is a 15 inches 2,3 Ghz, with mountain lion 10.8.2
    i know what all the answers will say, check activity monitor, well the highest activity is kernel_task with 3.8% and im noit going to delete that process or ill be regreted..
    any ways, my keyboard light is off, the brightness is the minimum, and the bluetooth is off too.
    the battery is lasting me no more than 4 hours, 3.5 hours is the major times..
    what can i do?
    im charging the mbp everyday!!!! and i bougth it in august 23

    First, document the battery performance by charging your MBP fully, pulling the power adapter, setting the Brightness to 50%, max out Energy Saver (set both to Never), and switching on Safari. Don't turn on any other process. This is one way Apple determines if a machine is using too much battery. Under these conditions, you should be getting seven hours.
    Leave a note here with your results, please.

  • Iphone 6 plus the battery usage times are erased when you turn off and back on iphone

    i´m desperate. this has already happened with 4 new different iphone. I have it a week ago and suddenly when i turn it on un the morning  i deleted the hours of use and standby battery. I get two hyphens . Reloading up to 100% and the counter is reset. but when you come back off and on again disappears again use times.I restored, reset settings and many other things but can not find the solution. has passed me at least 4 different iphones and the truth is that leads me crazy. someone could help me because in support anyone give me a solution.
    many thanks. you are the only option left for me to discover something so rare and unanswered.
    PD: so if I have observed is that when new and still has not restored works well. I have been working well so far that restored cleanly to put him last update. iphone latter came with 8.1 installed and use it for a week and did not fail. the problem appeared to restore and put him 8.1.1 . others began to fail after restore and do a clean install because it came with the iOS 8 and your so cleanly actualizer 8.1

    i have an iphone 6 plus and i just powered it off and and back on (by using the sleep/wake button) and the slide to power off - usage time/stand by time was preserved
    if you reset and iphone (holding sleep/wake and home buttons until Apple logo appears - you will see those dashes until the next time the iPhone is charged backup to 100% - this has been the behavior with every iPhone i have owned (and Ive owned every one since the original

  • Need to increase battery use time.

    Since updating my iPad2 to iOS7 my battery use time is reduced. Are there any alterations that I can make to my settings to maximise my battery use time?

    Hi
    You should charge and discharge the battery until it would be completely empty.
    This should be done always and this helps to calibrate the battery and to increase the battery life time
