Your iPad should last approximately 10 hours on a single charge. Of course, playing videos will likely drain the battery faster than just reading an ebook, so your actual battery life may differ depending on what you do. There are ways you can minimize power usage, thereby extending the daily life of your battery.

Like all batteries, your iPad’s battery will eventually wear out, but by then you’ll probably have a newer iPad model anyway (or you can take your iPad to an Apple store and pay a minimal fee for an entirely new iPad).

In this chapter you’ll learn how to maximize the charge of your battery to allow your iPad to run as long as possible.
