Ask an iPad: how do I get longer battery life?

Constance is here to help

Welcome to the debut of a new feature we like to call “Ask an iPad”. The premise is straightforward: send in your iPad questions and once a month, our very own iPad correspondent, an iPad2 named Constance, will cheerfully provide you with the answers.

This first week’s question is:

“Dear Constance,

It seems like the battery life of my iPad is pretty short. I feel like I keep having to plug it back in. Do you have any tips you could share? How do I get longer battery life on my iPad?

Sincerely,

iNeedMoreJuice”

Constance responds thusly.
