I-pad battery
How much does everyone get per day out of their (company) I-pad in hours?
Assuming most of the time, it is in airplane mode with wifi off except when connected for retrieving flt plan, Wx and other preflight data.
Is there any fleet with a power outlet on the captains side of the deck?
I am on my second one of this series and I suspect the replacement was used, considering the poor battery life.

While in airplane mode - wifi and bluetooth off - and with 50% screen brightness on, the iPad lasts about 4 hours of constant use (screen always on while using JeppFD following along route.). I shut it off and let it charge during break bringing it back to 100% by the time I return to cockpit.
If you allow the screen save mode (screen auto shut-off if not touched), with light to moderate use you will get abut 10 hours (10% per hour as someone mentioned above.)

Also go to settings>general>accessibility>reduce motion "on"
The line user guide also has a bunch of other worthless settings you can turn off to minimize battery consumption.

Screen brightness is a battery hog. I like mine bright, and it will eat up a full charge in no time. 50% brightness barely touches the battery.
Last week DFW-IAH I used 75% of my battery, from preflight to taxi in. Daytime flight, max brightness, screen on the whole time. OTOH, I've had 50% left after LAS-EWR. Night flight, lowered screen brightness, screen off after climb out until briefing.
Get an OEM Apple 3 meter cord. It will reach from the FO's outlet to your ipad tray. I have a 2 meter cord, which is long enough to charge if you hold the ipad in your lap.

I only learned this when I was researching the advantages of the Samsung AMOLED screen over apple's LED back lit LCD displays.
