It just seems like my iPad is unusable. I charge it up to full capacity, use it for an hour or so. I close the lid and set it on the table. When I pick it up the next day it's completely dead and unusable until I plug it in to charge it. According to that graph it'll die within 6 hours if it's in standby mode. I could take it in to the Genius Bar and see how much a battery replace would cost? or I can use Apple GiveBack and get $250 off a new iPad. A new iPad is around $800 so that's $550 for a new iPad versus .... maybe ~$200 for a new battery (spit-ball guess)? Not tied to buying a new iPad but a 6 hour no-use battery doesn't seem feasible.
