Q. I just purchased an ipad couple days ago. I noticed that my battery life drains about 1% every 5 minutes or so by just browsing. Screen brightness is set at about 75%, wifi on, bluetooh off, location services off, push email off, and auto brightness off. I've read before that this reviewer got 11 to 12 hours of non stop video and browsing with full brightness. At this rate, my ipad will hit about 10 hours max so I was wondering if this is normal or maybe I should bring it in for exchange. Thanks.
I've also done one complete charge cycle since I bought it.
A. The iPad has a battery that can last 10 hours. You said you were getting 10 hours of battery life, so this is normal. Please note, somethings will waste the battery more than others. For example, using 3G and doing some extreme surfing will waste the battery more than watching a movie, so it depends on what you are doing.
How to fix the ipad battery life?
Q. The problem is I accidentally charged it at like 50% and so the battery life is shit is their a way to fix this.
A. Your iPad has a lithium-ion battery. Charging it at 50% will not change its maximum battery life. The calibration of the battery meter might be off but discharging the device once in a while will fix that.

iPod and iPad battery help?
Q. I jail broke my iPod earlier this year but restored it after a short month or 2 when I tried to restore it it always froze on the last part ( I don't know this could have just been a patience issue) this eventually fixed itself with iOS 4 but nowadays my batter icon and battery life are taking a bad toll I can never really know my true battery life I also have an iPad and when I was playing a 3D game my iPod seemed to go from what seemed like 50-60 percent to 20 percent while my iPad lost a grand total of 4 percent please help me
A. The iPad battery is much better than the iPod. Maybe 3 times better I would say. You can get about 12-14 hours of usage out of it. Which is a lot. With my iPod I only get about 4 hours of hardcore usage. So playing a 3D game will kill your battery, very very quickly.
