which Ipad?

I do think the air2 soaks up battery life much faster than the other ipads.
I really have not noticed any significant lag since the last upgrade.

I agree about the battery drain. I have the Air 2 and the iPad 2 sitting side by side. The Air 2 is running MF 3.X and the iPad 2 is playing music. In a 2 hour gig I am plugging in the backup power pack to the Air 2. Never have to worry about the old iPad dying. They are both on iOS 8.3. Let's hope iOS 9 makes a difference.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I can go 4 or 5 hours on my Air 2 before I feel the need to plug it in.
Rdmitch:
Maybe your doing something right !!
I turn off all apps, music, turn down the brightness and still after about 2 hrs I'm down to 60%
That gets me nervous so I plug in the remote power source and run the rest of the night with that in my pocket.
Michael Welter:
Well, I guess if you put it that way, my experience is the same as yours. But I don't get nervous about the battery until it reaches 30%.

That's pretty much the same scenario for myself. I get twitchy when the "fuel gauge" gets that point or even a bit lower. It could probably go a lot longer I guess, without worrying. But... ;)
