Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

A couple of questions regarding ipad battery and charging?
Hi,
I bought my 16 GB ipad 3 (wifi model) in late Dec. 2012 and so far I have been charging it to 100% then depleting it (on many sessions of usage) until it reaches 1% (sometimes 0%) then recharge until it reaches 100%...etc. I thought, with no ground for it, that this is good for the battery but I was ignorant and read that this is dangerous on the battery lifespan.
I've done this recharge/discharge (From 0% / 1%--->100% and vice versa) ~15 times which means I've consumed ~15 charge cycles and my questions are:)
1) What damages, if any, I may have caused internally to the battery cells (even if it apparently seems that the battery is OK)?
2) After reading an imp. article about ipad batteries, I decided NOT to allow myself below 10% anymore no matter what so I'll always make it a habit to go from 10% to 100% and vice versa which means, for me at least, I'll never consume the 1000 charge cycles (before reaching 80% battery capacity) so how it will happen that my battery will consume 1000 charge cycles eventually If I will insist on NOT consuming any more charge cycles? (because apple defines a charge cycle as going from 0 to 100 and vice versa).
Thanks in advance.

Re: Battery life is horrible after iOS 6.1.3 update
I suggest the following:
1. Restore as a new device, then put back your apps, music, etc.
2. Get System Activity Monitor and see if there is a runaway process that is sucking up the CPU. For an iPad 2, normal CPU usage should be about 3%

iPad iOS 6.1.2 update causing excessive battery drain
I have noticed in other discussions that a number of iPhone users have experienced excessive battery drain after updating to iOS 6.1.2.
I am now experiencing this problem in a big way after updating to iOS 6.1.2 on an iPad 3. Prior to this update, my battery life was very good, dropping to only 70% to 80% at the end of a typical day of use.
After the update, which was said to be to fix a previious Mail Exchange battery drain issue (one that I was not experiencing), my battery was dropping to 30% after a few hours. It was literally like holding a bucket with a hole in the bottom and watching the water drain out.
I noticed that my Usage time and Standby time were identical, even though the ipad had been in sleep mode much of the time. This indicates to me that something about this patch is causing the iPad not to actually sleep when in sleep mode.
The iPhone discussion forums point to a number of possible fixes, including uninstalling all emails and re-installing them all the way to a total erasure and reinstalation of everything. This worked for some, but not for all victims of this problem.
Until Apple recognizes this problem and sends out another update, one less painful solution that worked for me was to change all of my email accounts from Push to Fetch every 15 minutes. This has stopped the problem for me, for now. so I wanted to share this in case anyone else is experiencing similar problems.
If other community members have discovered other short term or long term fixes then please do post here.
Apple, I await an update that will allow me to restore Push functionality, or instructions on what steps will work to properly restore full functionality (what to remove and reinstall etc).

iOS 6.1.2 made my battery life worse ...
Hi there!
Since I updated my iPad 4G. to Version 6.1.2., the battery life is way shorter and it runs very hot.
That's very weird to me ... Any one any idea what to do?
Best!
