Haven't had any issues with battery draining fast, but I have noticed some charging issues. I'm not sure if it's the hardware or the update.

I have been away from my charger more often now, and I see it too. Things that normally used next to no battery cause the battery to drop. I was at a friends place, and we watched a few movies (on his computer). I checked my Facebook in between and we took maybe 3 photos. That's it and the battery was down to 62%, even though it had been on standby for 98% of the 5 hours. :/
Me too. Thank goodness I don't have issues with my battery!I dunno............I don't seem to see any battery depletion issues with ios6.
Not to say some aren't actually having this issue but....
It's human nature to scrutinize and more closely watch something when it's different........and see something you just didn't notice previously.
Just sayin'.......

and many many more... right back to IOS 3.2.1, which was the first update for the iPad.
Personally, and from experience, I believe genuine issues related to battery after an update of IOS are caused by a panicking process caused by some flaw or bug in the update process, most likely an app, setting, or config which Apple didn't predict would be on your device and causes the new OS to "race", draining the battery.
9 times out of 10 when I have come across this before, a restore of the device in iTunes and a restore of your last backup has resolved it.
The failsafe guaranteed method to resolve it is to restore your device and set up as "new".
Good luck!
