Hey there rikk131,


We'd like to help get the most out of the battery, so let's start with better understanding what's happening, along with ruling out some possible causes:


  1. How many hours is the battery lasting from a full charge?
  2. Was an update recently installed, and if yes, how long ago?
  3. Speaking of updates, for compatible iPad Air models, the latest version is iPadOS 16.1.1. You can verify this within Settings > General > About. Here's a link that'll show how to first back up, then Update your iPhone or iPad.
  4. Is it being used within its temperature range? Check for the range near the top here: If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch gets too hot or too cold
  5. Any app updates available? Check out: How to manually update apps on your Apple device
  6. Which app/feature was using the most battery under Settings > Battery > Last 24 Hours > Battery Usage, and what's the battery percentage it used after tapping on ‘Show Battery Usage’?
  7. Have you been following these battery tips for at least a few days? Check out: Batteries - Maximizing Performance


Cheers!
