IPad – How to diagnose an iPad that seems super slow to recharge

chargingipad

I've had my iPad 1 for almost a year now. For the past few months it has been charging EXTREMELY slowly.

Last night I plugged it in with 54% remaining on the battery life. This morning it is only at 81%. It charged for 17 hours! Is this normal? The battery seems to last just about as long as it used to (once it's finally charged).

I am using the standard wall charger. I have also tried using my friend's charger and had the same result. Any suggestions?

Be sure you are using an iPad charger. If you are using a standard USB charger or an iPhone/iPod charger then it will take a very long time to charge.
