Re: ipad battery life.
I did some experimentation. Ipad brightness all the say up. No sleep mode. Same chart displayed.
While open in daytime mode:
New Charts after 15 minutes: 5% battery loss
Jepps after 15 minutes: 3% battery loss
Night Mode
New charts after 30 minutes: 8 Pct
Jepps after 30 minutes: 9 Pct
While Screen is OFF there is no difference in battery drain or any battery drain at all. Turn off your screen when not actively using the ipad. Press the little button at the top of the ipad. I've seen guys just leave them on all the time!
One thing the charts plus by default does is that it disables sleep mode on the device. You can change this setting in the preferences.

Is that enough to convince you tools why these charts are total junk?
