Never let a lithium battery drain to 0% and recharge it, that is harmful to the battery. Not sure if you found that suggestion on the internet, but that was only recommended on the old Ni-Cd batteries that suffered from the "Memory Effect", and certainly not recommended for a Lithium battery.


Contact Apple or schedule an appointment where they can perform diagnostics on your iPad. Batteries are consumable and at some point will need to be replaced.
