Q: Why does my iPad 3 take so long to charge?

I purchased a used iPad 3 yesterday, and all appears to be working fine, except for charging the device. While the battery life on this thing is incredible; the time it takes to charge is not. Yesterday, I noticed that while using the device, it did not charge, but it did not discharge. It just stayed the same. I tried turning on airplane mode, and putting the device to sleep, and it charged at a rate of about 1% per 15 minutes. Before I went to sleep last night, I put the device on to charge when it was at 6%, and shut the device down in the hopes that it would charge faster. After eight and a half hours, I woke up to find the battery had only charged to 63%. I'm using the official Apple 10w AC adapter plugged directly into the wall. Surely this isn't right, is it?
