iPad 2

Having problems when pad is sleeping battery drains unless I completely **** down. Putting in sleep mode by closing lid

If apps like mail or so continuously use your internet access (i.e. email push or other push-services) this drains battery juice. Might be an idea to cut the cord (uhm... how to express it when going online wirelessly??)

Make sure you set your iPad to to a manual data retrieve instead of automatic or "push" system. Will help immensely
