It’s not always convenient to get a “low battery” notification while you’re in the middle of making a sale or watching your favorite show on your iPad^®. Fortunately, there are some clever ways to help your tablet hold a better charge. Computer tech support professionals recommend the following tips for improving battery life. 

4 Ways to Increase the Battery Life of Your iPad

1. Disable Wi-Fi & Bluetooth^®

It makes sense to turn on the Wi-Fi since it uses less data when you’re connected. However, it usually consumes more battery life, and the same is true of Bluetooth. If you notice a drop in your battery percentage, turn off these features to save power until you can get to a charger. 

2. Reduce the Brightness

Many iPad tablets automatically adjust brightness levels according to the amount of light in the room when you use them. In many cases, the brightness on your device is likely much higher than it needs to be. Avoid wasting battery life by reducing it to a comfortable level.

3. Limit Mail Fetching 

If you use your iPad to check your email, the device will automatically fetch new messages every 15 or 30 minutes. While this is convenient for those who work on the go, it also uses quite a bit of battery power. In your mail settings, switch data fetching to manual.

4. Turn Off Notifications 

Push notifications are also responsible for low battery life, especially if you receive them from several different apps. Computer tech support companies suggest that you adjust push notifications so that you receive them only from two or three apps that you use the most.
