Narrative:
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.
