I don't think it matter which model of iPad that you have, if the battery needs to be replaced, then its eligible for an out of warranty replacement.
Your one-year warranty includes replacement coverage for a defective battery. You can extend your coverage to two years from the date of your iPad purchase with the AppleCare Protection Plan for iPad. During the plan’s coverage period, Apple will replace the battery if it drops below 50% of its original capacity. If it is out of warranty, Apple offers a battery replacement for $99, plus $10.77 shipping, subject to local tax. Apple disposes of your battery in an environmentally friendly manner.
