iPad mini charging times?
Discussion
I bought a new iPad mini 6 months ago, in the USA, 64 gb, but no 3g, wifi only. It seems to take an age to charge, and also seems to discharge a lot faster than my old iPad, which was the same but just 32 gb.
It is not the latest version, but the iPad 2 I think. $100 cheaper, and a slightly lower quality camera, apparently.
From 2% charge to fully charged takes 5 hours, but reading a book or watching movies it will go flat in about the same time it took to fully charge. Is this normal? I'm sure my old one would last 12 hours or so.
Anybody here ever been sad enough to time how long their mini takes to charge?

I've tried both the original charger and the one off my phone, both give the same results.
I'm just charging it now, from 5% to 65% took exactly three hours.
I was thinking a few full drain/charges might improve things. I'm not sure if it makes any difference with modern batteries, the old 'battery memory' theory.
