iPad is losing battery power fast

iPad battery is draining really fast all of a sudden. Not doing anything different. iPad 2 about 1.5 years old.

Any suggestions

iPad 2 Wi-Fi, iOS 6.1.1

If you're still having issues after reading through all that and trying any of the suggestions you try this:

Make sure IOS is updated to latest version

Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.

If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

If that doesn't work then backup and then restore the device as new.
