The iPad's 10 hour battery life is a real breath of fresh air compared to other similar devices. The general consensus is that portable devices such as tablets, smartphones and netbooks run out of battery quite quickly. Apple has gone a long way to easing these problems with the excellent power management and battery hardware in the iPad.
However..
There is always be a time when it needs charging up again. Using the standard USB cable, the iPad will only trickle charge slowly and will take several hours. The answer to that is to use a proper wall charger. it is also a great idea to buy more than one so you can take one with you to the office, on holiday or to a friends house if you are going round to show off your new gadget.
There are many iPad power adapters available on the market, but the best option is to buy one from eBay. eBay has a massive range of sellers with some well made, low cost chargers for the iPad. Apple do make one of their own branded chargers, but ones made by 3rd parties will perform just as well and at a greatly reduced price.
