1. Decrease the brightness of the screen
When switched on, the new iPad is far too bright. This is eating away your battery. All you need to do is reduce your iPad’s screen brightness to a level that’s just okay. First tap the Settings icon on your iPad's display and then select Brightness & Wallpaper option on the left side of the screen. You need to push the slider on the left side to reduce the brightness of the screen. However, you should leave the auto-brightness option on as it will brighten the screen where there is not so much of light and dim the screen when you are outside.
2. Turn on Auto-Lock
Put your iPad to sleep to sleep after a specified period by turning this feature on. Go to Settings and then General and tap on the Auto-Lock option and chose any of the time intervals. It will boost battery life and improves the security of your device.
3. Turn off 4G LTE
Leaving this feature on for some time would hit the battery hard. To remove it, tap Settings and go to General and then toggle the LTE switch to off. For that period of the day when you are not using your network, it is wise to turn off 4G LTE on the iPad if you want to maximize battery life.
