Title: iPad 2 battery issues
Post by: billybob476 on March 12, 2012, 09:40:16 AM
Dunno if anyone else has experienced this, but over the last 2 weeks I've notcied a huge drop in my iPad's battery life. For example, if I leave it around 40% charge atr night, I'll wake up in the morning and it'll be below 10% or dead. It doesn't appear to be related to any app installs or OS updates (I installed 5.1 over the weekend to see if it helped, doesn't seem to).

I've killed all running processes and disabled iCloud syncing and that seems to have helped a bit. Has anyone else noticed a dramatic change to their battery life recently?

My wife is having the same issue with her iPhone4. I've not noticed any issues on either the iPad2 or my iPhone4

Sounds like a dud battery. Still under warranty?

I have had to replace my chargers twice, they seem to zap out on me.

I barely ever go down in charge on mine.  But then again, I think the most I've used my iPad at one time is maybe for about 90 min.  Usually it's more like 30 min of use and then I just plug it back into my PC/USB port.

I believe it may still be under warranty, perhaps a swing by the Apple store is in order.
