Your iPad should last approximately 9–10 hours
on a single charge. Of course, playing videos
will likely drain the battery faster than just read-
ing an ebook, so your actual battery life may
differ depending on what you do. There are
ways you can minimize power usage, thereby
extending the daily life of your battery.
Like all batteries, your iPad’s battery will
eventually wear out, but by then you’ll probably
have a newer iPad model anyway (or you can
take your iPad to an Apple store and pay aser-
vice fee to replace your iPad).
In this chapter you’ll learn how to maximize
the charge of your battery to allow your iPad to
run as long as possible.
