Native-like or not no. 22 - questions about a battery

Howdy,

Here I am again with yet another question. Can you help me make the following sentences more native-like? Some of them are incorrect in my opinion...
  1. How much time would you say your Ipad Mini's battery lasts within the 100%-90% range?
  2. My battery usage is as follows: standby time equals 2h 50min, usage time equals 1h 50min.
  3. Does it mean your Ipad's battery lasts nearly 4h within the first 10% of power?
  4. I don't really know how long it takes for the battery to go down from 100% to 90%.
  5. Games use up battery's power fastest.
Thanks

After being fully charged, how much time would you say your Ipad Mini's battery maintains its charge level above 90%? My battery is rated at 2h 50 min in standby mode and 1h 50 min. in normal use mode.

Thank you Alphecca.

Can you point out which of my original sentences are completely unacceptable to a native speaker's ear?

A native speaker would not say "last within"


My battery usage is as follows: standby time equals 2h 50min, usage time equals 1h 50min.
