#1. Turn the WiFi Off
WiFi is a good way to connect to the Internet. However, it runs battery down faster when it is always on even if you are not connected. So, if you feel you don’t need to connect to the Internet for a while, then turn the Wifi off.
Settings => Network => WiFi => Off
#2. Turn the 3G Off
Although not all of iPad models have 3G capabilities, it is still a good idea we have to include this step for the people who got 3G-Capable iPad. 3G is yet another way of connecting to the Internet through a wireless network. It uses both hardware and software to connect. Therefore, it does drain battery faster, too. Turn this feature off if you don’t have plans connecting to the web.
Settings => General => Network => 3G => Off
#3. Adjust Auto-Brightness
The screen of the iPad is built to adjust automatically to the brightness it receives from its surroundings. It means that when you are in the place surrounded by lights, the screen will adjust and becomes dimmer. So, it is better to use this feature if you feel the need to prolong your iPad’s battery life.
Settings => Brightness => Auto-Brightness => On
#4. Turn Off your Location Services
The Location Services in iPad is pretty amazing they give more accurate information. However, location services power the GPS functionality of your iPad. Now, if you don’t need it or perhaps you can reach your destination without using your GPS, then you can turn it off to conserve the energy of your iPad.
Settings => Location Services => Off
#5. Adjust Auto-Lock Feature
iPad is set to auto-lock when it becomes idle for a certain period of time. It has been proven that auto-locking sooner will save more battery. So, do not leave the auto-lock feature in its default settings, change it to lock sooner.
Settings => General => Auto-Lock (choose the interval you want)
#6. Turn Bluetooth Off
Wireless networking requires built-in hardware and software to run. Logically, it drains battery faster whether or not you are connected to the Internet. Bluetooth is often used to connect devices wirelessly like headphones, speakers and keyboards. If you do not use any of those or not planning to use one, you better turn the Bluetooth feature off.
Settings => General => Bluetooth => Off
#7. Turn the Equalizer Off
There is a built in iPod app on the iPad which uses music equalizer to make the sound more appealing to the listeners; the treble and bass are enhanced to produce high quality sounds. This equalizer feature can drain the battery even faster. So, if you are not much of an audiophile, you can simply turn this feature off.
Settings => iPod => EQ => Off
