do you all leave your pro's on when you aren't using it? Went to bed last night with it on 83% left and at work so next time I look at it will be about 9.30 tonight. To help battery if you are out all day do you keep it off?

Do you mean phsically on screen, or on as in sleep mode? And off as is completely shut down?

As i say, mines left on 24/7 but permanently plugged into mains. Havent powered it down in months.

Yeah meant in a sense of actually powering down. I personally always leave mine on as well as generally standby time is normally that great.
 
Well I'm now at this (55% left):

And I don't shutdown over night.
 
I plug mine in every night regardless the state of charge. I have done this since the first iPad and my battery life has always been outstanding on every model. My son is still using the ipad2 and its battery life after all these years and charge cycles is still very good.

I get a easy 11-13 hours on the Pro and never power it off, only stand-by.

Wait, 14 hours of usage since last charge and you still have 10% left???? What do you have brightness on, 5%??

Thats amazing.
Auto brightness, same as my iPhone :) I've been very impressed and I used a lot of it yesterday on 4G only

I left work at 5 on Thursday (2.11.2016) @ 100% and used it for about a hour last night.
Notice the usage time. Weird.
