That seems to be a bit too fast if it continues to drain that quickly. That would be 20° drain each hour only giving you 5 hours of battery life. Give it some time before you make any real assessment, the battery indicator can act sort of funky at times. My indicator will stay on 100° for 15 minutes and then start to drain rather quickly until it evens out and gets to where it should be. From that point on, it will reduce at a normal rate.


You can try resetting the iPad. Sometimes that cures hunky little software issues. Sometimes, restarting the iPad can return the gauge to a normal reading.


Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.


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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
