# Improving the Battery Life of your iOS Device While Using Zwift

Zwift's graphics use a lot of power and you may see your battery drain more quickly than you’d normally expect. Following these quick tips will reduce your power consumption and, in many cases, you’ll even see your device’s battery life stay at 100% the entire time you are Zwifting—if you leave it plugged in:

*   If you are using an iOS device while plugged in, use an Apple cable.
    
    Official Apple cables consistently outperform the off-brand alternatives we've tested.
    
*   Use an iPad charger, not an iPhone charger.
    
    iPad chargers are larger and put out more power.
    
*   Turn your screen brightness down.
    
    Lowering your screen brightness helps increase your battery life.
    

Ride On.
