From Logitech's website: iPad Pro 12.9 inch: 1 hour of typing with backlighting off will use 0.3% of iPad Pro battery, with backlighting at maximum level - 1.6% iPad Pro 10.5 inch 1 hour of typing with backlighting off will use 0.4% of iPad Pro battery, with backlighting at maximum level – 2.3%
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I haven't noticed any noticable battery drain. I left it plugged into the iPad, screen on, and it went down about 20% in a four hour idle period.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The keyboard actually uses less power than traditional Bluetooth keyboards because it connects to the iPad Pro smart connector, it is magnetic and uses very low power, even with the back light it does not use a lot of power.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No observable difference.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I don't feel that the battery life is really affected. It still last quiet a long time... for me. I never used it without the case so I don't know. The iPad still lasts at least 12 hours with continual use.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.it uses just a bit battery, won't more than a led bub.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.We haven't noticed any difference thus far. It is used during a 7 hour school day to include movie watching and browsing with no need to recharge during the entire day.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It drains it at a faster pace. Also, please note, you cannot fold the keyboard behind the iPad like a tablet. It is magnetic and comes unsnapped easily. That means you have to detach the keyboard every time you want to use it in tablet mode. I wish the attachment was longer so I could fold it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would say minimally.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not all that much from what I can discern.
