> my iPad would die in a couple days if left unplugged.
Something wrong with your iPad then. All three of mine would easily hold a charge for more than 2 days even when turned on but unused (so asleep).

I doubt the OP is making stuff up, but all my iPads (including an original model) simply don't show any significant battery loss when left unused.
