iPad is taking for ever to charge

[narjes baazaoui]

I just bought the new iPad 10 days ago but I realized that it takes more than a day to be fully charged.
Any help or any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks

It does take longer to charge the new iPad compared to the iPad 2 from what others have mentioned. Why not charge your iPad before you go to bed at night. That way, it will be ready for you to use in the morning.

Hi and welcome to the Forum!

The new iPad does take several hours to charge but shouldn't take that long, are you using it while it's charging?
I do mine overnight also.

2 very informative threads from which you will learn many tips and shortcuts for the IPad.

Hi NarjesB - welcome to the forum!

Your new iPad should NOT take over a day to charge - my question is whether you are using the charger that came w/ the device or if you are trying to charge via an under-powered USB input on a computer? I own the iPad2 which came w/ a 10W (5V x 2Amps) charger which should get you back to 100% battery charge in a number of hours (and not over a day). Please let us know first 'how' you are charging your iPad?
