Mine is nowhere close. Sounds like you have the air 1 by mistake. Using for 2 and half hours on just Internet gets me 68%.

Yes very serious :). Here's a screenshot after my final usage before I go to sleep.

I've had mine for almost a month now and while battery was less than desirable at first, it's really improved with time. It's almost as good as my Air first gen was.

I agree! I have been amazing, I had an iPad air and my battery life was atrocious, the air 2 blows it away with the same amount of usage and same settings as I had before with my air and I did do a lot of clean installs on my air and never improved, but with the air 2 clean install, just blows away what my old air had
 
I get the ten advertised hours, sometimes a bit more with light to moderate use and 40% brightness. So thats around two hours less than my ipad mini 2.

all you need to do is restore from factory when plugging your iPad into your computer and when its done, do not restore from a backup, start from scratch again
 
Safari remains the top, uses 50% on mine

I use a lot this device, love the A8X

14hours of usage

Love the Air 2 , more powerful than my prévious Ipad 4

Just goes to show how wrong it can be.

Usage is not screen on time, but also background stuff by the looks of it.
 
The battery life is more amazing given that your new iPad is nearly a half pound lighter than your old. Glad to hear you are enjoying your new iPad.:)
 
Battery: 89%
Usage: 2 hours, 40 min usage
Standby: 14 hours, 6 min

Mostly using it to read, though. Some safari and photos also.
