I bought my iPad 1 about the same day as you. I still get tons of
battery life. My wife doesn't charge it for days. Only time it drains
fast is when the girls want to spend all day play Minecraft.
Draining will be determined by what type of tasks you do on it. Plus
the brightness level helps save or drain the battery. Setting a long
timeout/auto lock duration can decrease the battery. Watching or
streaming videos will drain the battery faster.
Is it your belief that your behavior and usage has remained the same,
but the battery life has not?
Thanks,

Not only would the battery be dead, I might be too, unless I can live to 121. Odds are against me, but there's always hope...lol.
