Lowering screen brightness substantially reduces power draw and can add over an hour of use per charge while also reducing eye strain. Setting auto-lock to a shorter interval conserves battery by turning off the display sooner when idle. Disabling location services for apps that are rarely used prevents background GPS activity and reduces unnecessary battery consumption. Additional, targeted adjustments beyond basic tips can collectively yield several extra hours of iPad use between charges. Use the Control Center to quickly adjust brightness and manage common settings for faster battery savings.
As an avid iPad user, I'm all too familiar with the internal struggles that course through me when the battery is about to die. I love using either the iPad 11 or iPad Air to write and work, but I also use it to stream content, play games, and browse the internet after work. This makes me appreciate the iPad's long battery life, yet my anxiety grows when I start getting 'low battery' alerts without a charger nearby.
There are many things you can do to increase your iPad's battery life that go beyond the usual advice. You can start with the usual: lowering your screen brightness and setting the auto-lock to a shorter time, which I'll cover here. I'll also cover other ways to extend your battery life that have, altogether, given me a few more hours of use from my iPad.
