battery draining like **** in ipad 4 after ios 8.4.1update

I updated my ipad 4 with ios 8.4.1 like a week ago...but the problem started from yesterday. I charged my ipad from 20% to 100% for altleast 6 hrs...and then started playing some heavy games like asphalt 8 and MC5....so after playing the charge was left at 60% at night 11 pm. Today morning at 7 am its showing 22%!!!!!!!..I was like ***....is my battery is dying or something like that..then I put it in charge(at 15%) and after 2 hrs it was 100% which is next to impossible for a battery of 11560 mAh ....so i did a hard reset and then the percentage came back to 55%....I thought it might be some calibartion problem so i did a factory restore...an put it in charge again( at 51%) and again within hours it was 100% but i know actually its not 100%...i googled it ...but got no luck...Any REAL solution will be appeciated other than ios update or tips etc.Thank You

Hi. Try to follow the instructions on this page in order to maximize your battery life: https://www.apple.com/batteries/maximizing-performance/

Try to reset your device. This won't delete your data stored on the phone.

  • Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button
  • Press and hold on the Home button
  • Keep holding both buttons until the display turns off and back on with Apple logo on it.

You may also try to reset all settings: go to Settings - General - Reset - Reset All Settings

You may also try to follow these steps:

1. Navigate to settings/general/ battery usage. Check the applications. This will show you which app eats up your battery.

2. Turn off iCloud keychain: Navigate to Settings/ iCloud/Keychain / turn it off.

3. Limit apps activity on the background: Navigate to Settings/ general/ Background App refresh/ turn it off for each application which uses to much power.

4. Disable auto brightness: Navigate to settings/ display and brightness/ auto-brightness. Turn this option off.
