Who else is incredibly impressed with iPad 2 batt life?

[tbobmccoy]

I've been posting, surfing, watching videos, playing games, etc for the last 7 or so hours and my battery life has only gone down to 80%. I am BLOWN AWAY by this iPad 2. So pleased I found it! Any other similar battery-life stories? Did anyone besides me think that the battery would be not as excellent as advertised or am I just being a bit silly?

Me me me !

I wanted to run it down to 0 to calibrate, used it a ton. 4 and a half days, probably 13 hours of use.

So much nicer to pick this up and carry it around the house than my 4.5 pound macbook

I have been pretty blown away too. Since the 4.3.1 update it has been even better. I noticed that running the battery down fully one time helped tremendously as well (yay reading the instructions).

I have been using my iPad 1 for about 3/4 hours downloading a huge number of apps with the screen very bright and has only gone down 14 or so percent. I updated to iOS 4.3.1 last night. Battery life is perfect

To me it seems comparable to the first gen iPad. And that was great!

Great battery life for me

Used it yesterday for 6 hours straight doing lots of Internet browsing, downloads from app store and other light tasks; however, I used the time Warner app to watch an entire hour of tv live (part of the 6 hours) and still had 55% battery left.

This was after I downloaded 4.3.1.

Awesome!

Rah rah. Leading question much? Incredibly? I find it fine. Incredible, no. My iPad 1 was noticeably better, and still not incredible.

Mine seems horrible compared to op. 9-4 moderate use. Was down to about 12%.

How do I recalibrate it? Run it down to zero? Full charge again?
