iPad Post your iPad Air 2 Battery Life/Usage screenshot

[JuliusCaesar]

Since its been more than 3 months since its debut, mind posting your battery statistics screenshots here. Personally, I can't complain. Averaging between 10 and 11 hours of normal usage ( Browsing, Netflix, email, games etc. ) Now, the standby time it's great. I can manage 2 or 3 days without charging it. Brightness set to 50% to 60% . I used to get 13 hours out of my old iPad 3, but im still ok with this one. I have the 64GB Cellular version with a T-Mobile plan.

I follow Apple guidelines for the OEM batteries in my various iOS and OS X gear. With a rare exception I've always enjoyed excellent performance and lifespan from them.

Honestly I don’t bother tracking them closely. I buy my Apple gear to use, enjoy, and not obsess over.

Really disappointed by my wifi only one Air2 battery life so far. The battery drains fast and it rarely lasts me more than 7 hours. I'm not a big fan of reducing the screen brightness.

At what % you set your iPad brightness? That is something that does affects the battery life. From your screenshot it seems like it can go between 9 to 10 hours on that charge.

I keep my brightness at 90-100%. Like I said I think that below that you lose too much sharpness on the screen.

Well that is probably why you are getting 6 or 7 hours. Maybe lowering it to 70 to 75% can get you 2 or 3 more hours and still is a reasonable good brightness.

Extremely pleased.

At what % you set your brightness? Mind sharing any tricks you have there for such an excellent battery life? Thanks.

I have the brightness anywhere from 1% (early morning/late night) to 100% (lunchtime, midafternoon). WiFi, Bluetooth, location services are all on, all the time. I do kill apps in the background when done with them, but it probably doesn't make too much of a difference. Battle Supremacy, the top item, is a very graphics intensive game that I play often. It pretty much sounds like I'm doing everything to not have good battery life.

1 % brightness ! Might as well turn the screen completely off. I find that anything below 80% brightness makes the screen look subpar.

Safari drains way too much battery even with only one tab open.

I have my air 2 on 40% auto, otherwise it's too bright for me. I always get over 11 hours usage time.

This is my latest battery usage time. Spotify was for about an hour. On the heavy side there was Youtube, a graphics intensive game, and a lot of web browsing. Brightness set at 55 to 60 %. Pretty great if you ask me.

I use auto brightness.

It's actually getting better and better. Really happy so far ��. Hitting for 14 hours there.

Just got mine last week. I love it. I set my brightness to about 30-40%.

That's impressive If I could manage that id be very happy my mini 2 manages around 12hours usage with 3days of standby

Very nice

 

[studIOS5]

Extremely happy with the battery life. Same as my air 1 was basically.

 

[iKnowMr.Jobs]

Been really happy with it thus far. Been getting anywhere between 13 & 14.5 hours a charge. Even when on LTE, I don't see it draining noticable quicker. The A8 is definitely drawing much less power than the A7. I got worse battery life on my Air 1 and that had a bigger battery
