= Increase Your iPad's Battery Life =

**H**ere are some tips for you to **increase iPad's battery life**.

**Turn off Wi-Fi**

You could turn off iPad's Wi-Fi feature if you aren't using it to increase your iPad's battery life. Go to Settings, select **Wi-Fi** and turn it off. **Don't expose iPad to high or low temperature**

If the iPad is exposed to high or low temperatures, its battery could be harmed and it causes decrease in battery life. So you should be careful about that. It should be OK between 32 degrees F and 95 degree F. **Update the Firmware**

Whenever there is a new update of your iPad's firmware is available, you should update it. Apple might be bringing new features in the firmware which could increase your iPad's battery life.

**Customize Brightness**

You could increase your iPad's battery life greatly by lowering the brightness. Go to **Settings** -> **Brightness & Wallpaper** and lower it by dragging the slider to the left.

**Disable Push Notifications**

The Push Notifications are used to make you aware mainly of of your iPad updates. But turning it off could save and improve some battery life. So to disable it, go to "Settings" and turn the "**Push Notifications**" feature off.

**Disable sounds**

Go to Settings > General > **Sounds**. You will find five different options to Increase/Decrease or switch to On/Off based on your personal choice, though disabling all of these would decrease the battery usage.

**Disable Location Services**

I am not saying you should always keep the location services off, but just when you are not in need of it, or when your iPad’s battery is low. To disable it, go to Settings -> General and turn the **Location Services** off. **Turn off Push Mail**

If you are receiving emails frequently, it could affect your iPad’s battery life. So turning off Push Mail will do it. Go to Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Fetch New Data and turn Push off.

**Turn on Auto Lock**

Turn on the **Auto Lock feature** so that whenever the iPad is inactive, it automatically turns off after a certain time interval.
