iPad Pro Battery usage when Magic Keyboard/Trackpad connected

[jwhite9185]

Loving the fact that I can now pair my Magic Keyboard and Trackpad2 to my 2018 iPad Pro. However, the battery usage when they're connected is crazy!

Without them connected, I can use my iPad fro a good 90 mins and it will drop from 100% charge to 90%.

As soon as I hook up the keyboard and track pad, my iPad battery drops to the low 70%.

Is this a common issue that most are finding, or have I got an issue? Tried the turn it off/on trick, but didn't make too much difference.

Have you considered carrying around a power bank with your iPad Pro?

I’ve just done about 30-45 minutes of writing on mine with my magic keyboard but no trackpad/mouse. I lost about 10% of battery but I’m not sure if that seems like a lot based on my normal battery loss with that amount of screen on time.

I do have a battery pack, although that's somewhat masking the problem rather than solving it.
