How to make your iDevice battery life last longer

Here are some tips you can follow:

• Keep it out from the sun, don't leave it out in the sun because heat kills batteries faster than anything else.

• Reduce your screen brightness, being at the maximum wastes a lot of battery and most of the times you don't need it, specially at night. Go to "Settings" and adjust the level of brightness in your screen in "Brightness & Wallpaper"

• Make the screen lock quick like 2 minutes so when you're not using it, the screen will turn off and won't waste battery. Go to "Settings", in the "General" section head into "Auto-Lock" to set the time of the screen lock.

• Use Wi-Fi instead of 3G if you can, the iPad battery lasts 10 with Wi-Fi and 9 with 3G, the iPhone 10 with Wi-Fi and 6 with 3G which is a big difference. In "Settings" go to "Wi-Fi" to connect or disconnect. 

• Reduce or eliminate Mail and Calendar checking, if you have a lot of emails and events in your calendar that will consume battery. If you head into "Settings" to the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" section you can set your fetch of new data manually so when you need it, you do it yourself, or set a time so your iDevice will fetch automatically and will waste more battery.

• Reduce or eliminate Push Notifications, in "Settings" you can turn off the notifications of all the apps or just the ones you don't need to see what's happening every single moment.

• Reduce or eliminate the sounds of your apps, you don't need the sounds always so I don't think this is a big effort to do, but it's okay if you don't wanna do it because this will save just a small amount of battery life.

• Turn off your Location Services in the "General" section as well as the Bluetooth if you don't need it, this will save your battery life.

• Charge your battery completely and when it's dead make sure you charge it quickly.
