There's a bunch of advice on the internet in helping with iOS 7 battery drain. Google ios 7 battery saving tips I do most of the setting change recommendations. My in-flight-specific ones are: Close all apps that are not being used. Keep wifi or bluetooth on only if you need to actively use one of them. Lower the screen brightness as much as you can while still keeping it readable. Put the iPad to sleep unless you need it for something That last one is a biggie and based on the concept that an EFB is first and foremost, an enhanced electronic chart. If I'm en route, navigating by navaid (including panel GPS), I don't need my chart out all the time, whether it be "paper or plastic." For longer trips where I am really concerned, I also plug it in, or at least have the "cigarette lighter" plug available in my flight bag.
