Updated to ios 7.0.3 yesterday now it won't charge. I already reset. You would think that Apple would test these things before sending out updates.
iPad 2, iOS 7.0.3
Here's an article about it: http://ipadnerds.com/battery-charging-very-slow-ios-7/
Not sure if it helps you though as you say your's won't charge? Are you using an OEM charger and are you charging directly from the wall?
I do not have the original. I have had this for 18 months and have never had a problem before. I updated the OS about 2 weeks ago and things were fine I got a notice that there was an update for ios 7 that fixed bugs. I did this update and that is when the problem started. The "bug fix" was the problem.
I just charged my ipad overnight with the power off and it is at 30%. If Apple was making a changelike this for users they should have notified us of that. I would not have updated. Why should I need to buy a new and more expensive charger? Was that the real goal of the bug fix? I have not received and benefits from the new OS. Apple should think about that, I am their customer not their employee.
The new operating system seems to be a money maker for Apple. As I write this there is a story on CNN about Apple deliberately making older products obsolete with this change. If that is the case I will never buy another ipad, I will probably buy a Windows tablet. They are more reasonably priced and will work better with applications that I use in my class. The ipad was a gift and there will not be a repeat purchase. Apple is overpriced and too controlling of third parties.
If I go to the Apple store for a new charger I will have to make my dissatisfaction known to the "genius" on duty. I really hate those self-important computer baristas.
In the 20 minutes that I have been using my ipad it has dropped from 30% to 24 %. I do not have any apps open. The new ios was supposed to make the battery last longer. I think that the problem is all Apple.
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.
Cheers, Tom 🙂
I have the same issue. I, actually, had to restore my ipad after the update. I have tried different plugs, outlets, resetting,and restoring, again. Nothing has worked. It does seem to keep its charge while it is plugged in. But, it won't charge.
