Flight Crew Overcame Equipment Problem
Equipment / Tooling; Procedure
Extended mechanical and operation delay. Prior to departure iPad charge [state] was at 24% and 22% for the flying crew. Both left the hotel at 100%. Without the ability to both charge we had to do an iPad relay to recharge the iPad and used the relief pilot's iPad as reserve. I believe the new requirement to have the QRH immediately available in the iPad is misguided and kills the battery faster.
B767 Captain reported both his and his First Officer's iPads suffered from low battery that he felt was due to new company procedures.
