iPad 2: How to Increase Battery Life?
1. Charge responsibly
Most people tend to get into the habit of charging devices overnight. While there is certainly much debate regarding whether or not charging habits affect battery life and longevity, many experts agree that over-charging a Lithium Ion battery can definitely reduce its performance over time.In other words, over time a full charge will not last as long for someone who regularly leaves his or her iPad 2 plugged in overnight as it would for someone who unplugs the iPad 2 once it is fully charged.
2. Get a second charger
This may seem like common sense to some, but buying a second charger for your office is a great way to help ensure that your iPad 2 never runs out of juice. Some people carry one charger between their home and job but it's just too easy to forget it while rushing.
3. Get a portable charger
Frequent flyers and those who spend a good deal of time on the go with infrequent access to a wall outlet should certainly consider purchasing a portable charger. The most common form of portable charger consists of a battery pack, a cable and a variety of connector tips to ensure compatibility with a wide variety of devices. While just about every option these days includes an iPad 2 adapter tip, one recommendation is the USB TurboCharger 3400 by Proporta (3400 mAh).
4. Adjust display brightness
A very simple tweak that will have a dramatic impact on iPad 2 battery life is decreasing the display brightness. Apple uses fantastic displays in its portable devices but they require a significant amount of power to illuminate them. The good news however, is that they are still extremely viewable when the brightness is turned down. Try lowering the brightness in Settings -> Brightness to between 60% - 75%, the lower the better of course.
5. Adjust auto-lock
Further to number 4 above, the less time your display is on, the better. In Settings -> General -> Auto-Lock, choose the 1 Minute option.
