[iPad] How much faster will the battery drain when using a BT keyboard?

My laptop battery will drain roughly 20% faster when a bluetooth device is connected. Should I expect a similar discharge rate for iPads?

Not really noticeable IMO.

I would assume that it would depend entirely on how much you used the bluetooth keyboard.
