As per my iPad 3 battery dropdown faster than iPad 2, but there are some things you should keep in mind which leads you improve your battery problem. Avoid using iPad in hot car or in direct sunlight because this Heat will degrade your battery’s performance the most. And iPad 3 is new one so it’s charging cycles will work differently compare to iPad 2. |
This is excellent information, and we need information shared to be able to resolve issues.
My wireless iPad 3 (no 4g) drops by about 5% at night with only the cover closed. Though a few times it has been much less. So I am pretty sure it's a software issue.
I have my wifi on all night on it but will try turning that off and see if it has any impact.

I felt that it's dropping faster than iPad 2
It came with 90% at 11am, then I was using it continuously till 1:30 pm, It was 59% at 1:30pm
Battery dropped 31% in 2:30 hrs is it normal? I just downloaded apps and sync music from iTunes by cable, then I was just playing around with it
Note-- I have 32gb wifi only model No 4g
I think it is may be normal that iPad 3 battery drops faster than iPad 2's. And the brightness IMO is also a factor which decides how long the battery will run out after 100% charging.
