iPad battery loses charge quickly

Hello Mollymommy70,

To help us better assist you, we'd like to ask a few questions.

1. About how long does the battery last from a full charge?

2. Were any changes made to the device or settings before this issue started? If so, what was changed?

The above details will help us plan how to continue.

Maximizing Battery Life and Lifespan

Update to the latest software.

Always make sure your device is using the latest version of iOS.

• If you are using iOS 5 or later, see if you need an update. Go to Settings > General > Software Update.

• If an update is available, you can plug your device into a power source and update wirelessly or plug it into your computer and update with the latest version of iTunes.

Optimize your settings.

There are two simple ways you can preserve battery life — no matter how you use your device: adjust your screen brightness and use Wi‑Fi.

Dim the screen or turn on Auto-Brightness to extend battery life.

• To dim, open Control Center and drag the Brightness slider to the bottom.

• Auto-Brightness adjusts your screen to lighting conditions automatically. To activate it, go to Settings > Accessibility. Tap Display & Text Size, then turn on Auto-Brightness.

When you use your device to access data, a Wi‑Fi connection uses less power than a cellular network — so keep Wi‑Fi on at all times. To turn on Wi‑Fi, go to Settings > Wi‑Fi to access a Wi‑Fi network.

Thanks!
