Do you guys let your IPP get down 10 or 20% and charge it back to 90% or 100%? Do you let it drained all the way down to 0 % and charge it back up to 100%? Do you leave it on the charger over night? Not sure what is the correct way to charge IPP for long lasting battery. Thanks.
 
You can google search this topic. Lots of opinions.

I think most will say don’t let it get to 0. That’s bad.

I charge whenever at whatever percent. My iPad 2 and 3 are still going pretty strong with this behavior. I’m sure I could follow guidelines to make them last longer, but they handle the “abuse” pretty well for me.

Some will say it's optimal to keep the charge level between 20-80%, which I guess is fine guidance as long as it doesn't dictate your usage and you don't stress over sticking to it religiously. In reality, it will make an almost imperceptible difference over the lifetime of the device.

There is no correct way to charge your iPad Pro. Just enjoy it and use it as you normally would.
 
Just avoid deep discharge (0-10%).

I often let my iPad Pro 9.7 get discharged because I was too engrossed reading to be bothered with charging and its battery is now at 75% max capacity iirc. That said, I still get better battery life from that thing than any iPhones I've used.
