The rated battery life is ten hours

@10% an hour that would be a 1% drop every 6 minutes of use. Sounds normal to me.

It is my understanding, that only the native Video app uses hardware acceleration, meaning that all third-party apps have to rely on software acceleration, thus draining the battery slightly faster.

Third party apps can use hardware acceleration as well but only on Supported formats e.g. mp4, mov etc.

Did some one try turning smart cover, sleep function off in setting and see if it helps battery life?

Is that normal that my battery of the ipad 2 drains quicker i think, like 6% in almost 30 mins using only safari??? The first 2-4 days of the ipad 2 is not a battery drainer as it is now... Please help what could be wrong?

That seems to be "about" right..if my math is correct..say drain 10% in 1 hour. If thats all you did in 100% of your battery life that would be 10hrs! 10hrs is the esitmated batt life.

Would that be fine even " just using safari"? I just thought this isnt the same as a month ago when i just bought my ipad 2. Thank you still

This morning, my battery is like 6% draining in 30 mins approx, however now, its like 5% in 15 mins with only using safari??? Is this normal, it's getting frustrating. It's very obvious that my ipad 2 is draining quicker than before?

Maybe kill of some of your applications...double tap your home button. This pulls up your mutitask apps. Long press on one until it wiggles. Scroll and kill all or which ever apps you want. Under normal circumstances the iOS suspense apps from running when not in use but maybe you have some rogue app or something.

Also, go in seetings, general and restriction and turn off Ping.

Honestly, i think your ipad battery is fine...maybe you should go into setting and turn off the percentage indicator on your battery, enjoy your new ipad and not worry about it.

Lastly, if this doesnt satisfy you, take it back and get another one...im not sure what else anyone can tell you.
