How many do u charge ur ipad in a day?

[ChristianaR]

I use my iPad lots, about 7-10 hours a day and have to charge every 3 or so days. I have most notifications turned off, and only have location settings on for the apps that definitely require it. I turn off wifi when I don't need it (watching a movie, playing music etc). Brightness plays a big part in battery usage- when it's full bright, I only get one days usage. I also close all open apps when done (dbl-click home button) although this is a highly debated issue about if this has any impact on battery life... Otherwise, it's pretty normal to recharge very day (depending on usage).

It depends on the applications and other factors. If you want the save battery power, keep 3G off when on wifi, keep the brightness as low as it looks decent. Any program with lots of graphics/video will use more power. Video over internet is a power demand. If you are doing music and low key games, you can go long times on a charge.

It is normal. I charge iPhone every night when I go to bed. I have to charge it the next evening.

Typically, I do not provide links to external sites, however, since including one enhances this conversation I thought it appropriate to share

I am more obsessive about a daily charge of my iPhone, but even there I have changed my charging habits. I used to just leave it plugged into the computer all night, but now I just charge in the morning at work, and it's fine. On my iPad, I charge once it gets maybe to 20-25%. I've decided to not be as obsessed, and just enjoy, but the phone is the bigger deal for me.
