iPads are a popular option, and you can find them just about anywhere from your doctor’s office to schools and even in the workplace. Not only are they easy to use, but they are also known for having a long battery life, which means it does not have to be charged all the time and does not have to stay tethered to a charging cable with heavy use.
With that said, an iPad’s battery can start to lose battery capacity over time and depending on how the iPad is used, this can occur rather quickly for you. iPad batteries can be replaced and sometimes, they need to be, but there are steps you can take to prevent your battery from getting damaged, draining too quickly, or requiring replacement.
Below, we will discuss some tips to help you keep your iPad battery as healthy as possible and we are confident that following these tips will ensure it lasts for a long time.
Take the Case Off to Charge Your Device
While the whole reason you have a case on your device is to protect it, it is recommended that you remove said case to charge it. Why? The case can actually trap heat that the battery generates when it charges and then cause damage to the battery itself. If you want to avoid overheating issues, you should remove the case as the device charges and then put it back on once you are done charging.
Avoid Extreme Temperatures
Storing your iPad in conditions where it is too hot or too cold can affect the device’s battery and shorten the overall battery life. For example, high heat can cause your battery to start draining faster and minimize the overall battery capacity it has.
While you want to avoid cold temperatures too as the cold can cause your battery to drain quicker, the cold will not cause permanent damage to the battery like heat will.
Turn Off Auto Brightness
When a battery is used often, it wears down faster. If your iPad is currently using the auto brightness feature, you may notice that your battery’s life goes relatively quickly. You can turn off this feature, which will help conserve your overall battery life and capacity.
To turn off auto brightness, go to Settings, Accessibility, click Display and Text Size, tap Auto Brightness. Here you can toggle it on and off.
Turn Off Background App Refresh and Location Services
Background app refresh and location services both utilize a lot of battery power and can not only drain your battery life on a daily basis but can wear your battery down quicker than normal over time. You do have the ability to turn these two features off.
To turn off background app refresh, head to your Settings, click General, and tap Background App Refresh. Toggle to off.
To turn off location services, head over to your Settings, tap Privacy, and click Location Services. Toggle to off.
Turn On Low Power Mode
One nice feature on the iPad is the ability to turn on low power mode. This feature works by disabling any apps that are draining your battery until you place your device onto the charger again. This feature will assist in keeping your battery life preserved.
To turn on the low power mode feature, go to Settings, click Battery, and tap on Low Power Mode to enable it.
