Isn't this info useless without some sort of context... like LTE/WiFi... reception, and what you are using the iPad to do? Screen brightness? Seems that playing video games or streaming would be more battery intensive than say reading in iBooks or web surfing.
We'll seeing as my brightness is turned way low, I'm only browsing, wifi only, and everyone who posted is getting considerably better battery life, it doesn't really matter. Just confirming my suspicions.
Considering Apple says 10 hour, you seem to be having better battery life than they say.
At 20% and only 7 hours, 50 minutes. That's not even 10 hours and considering everyone else seems to be getting 12+ hours, I think this one is no good.
You r roughly on track for 10 hours. 80% used in 8 hours or 10% per hour. That's normal per the apple specs. What is your brightness level? Are you running bluetooth constantly? What about location services. Probably have too many apps running location that are not needed to.
Try rebooting (not power off) a few times. My air was restored from an ipad 3 backup and acted weird until I rebooted a few times over the first few days. Not just once. Only now does it seem good.
Then let it drain and do full recharge.
