Q: iPad Air 2 battery life after 8.2 update

After updating to 8.2, my battery life is 1/2 what it was before the upgrade. No new apps or any other changes. As I don't see others with this problem, anyone have any suggestions of what I should try to get my battery life back?

iPad Air, iOS 8.2

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

I seemed to have solved my problem by shutting down my iPad and while shut down recharging it. After booting it and using it for a day and a half batter life seems to be back to my normal.

Hi Walleyefinder,

That's great to see. Sometimes all it takes is a restart.

Take care,
