Hey,i have an ipad 4rth generation(retina) and I was wondering if it is normal to lose like 12percent of the battery talking on skype(about one hour) or for example playing a game (trivia)for 1,5 hours and losing 14 percent.i used the battery doctor and the loss was as i mentioned 12 percent with one hour skype.
Anyone has any idea?
Thanx
iPad, iOS 6.0.1
I would say its normal since the iPad 3th gen ( im guessing there have the same battery as the ipad 4) has 10 hous of viewing videos ( already downloaded internet from itunes, so not youtube because youtube uses wifi and wifi cost energy from battery) and if you have good maths 1 hour of battery using video (so like skype) = 10-15% of battery because your using strong internet from skype.
1 hour of vid( no internet)=10%
1 hour of vid (with internet)=10-15%
Hope this helps! thanx

Thanx for answering!yes it sounds like you are right..its just sometimes,it looks that the battery goes down so quick.i mean the game for example,how much battery it uses?14% in 1,5 hiurs is not a lot?i dont know.i m just wondering.
Anyway thanx a lot!
Well, games use a lot of your iPads RAM and it does take a lot of energy to run most games with big sizes because of the constant lighting and movement of the iPad. For the trivia game it has constant touching of the iPad so I wouldn't worry if I were you. It it normal for your iPad to do this.
Ok,that explains.thanx a lot!
