Use your iPad regularly. Lithium-ion batteries are meant to be used hard, so don't be afraid to use and recharge your iPad often. In fact, if you don't regularly use your iPad, you should perform a complete charge cycle once a month (where you fully discharge the battery, then charge it up to 100%).

When should I charge my iPad battery?
Charging it when it's at 70% or 50% won't hurt it. Lithium ion batteries have no memory effect. What Apple does recommend is, once a month, let the iPad battery drain until it shuts itself off, then charge it fully.
What is the proper way to charge an iPad?
Even so, the most effective way to charge your iPad is to plug it into the wall outlet using the Dock Connector to USB Cable and the 10W USB Power Adapter that came with your iPad. Turn the iPad off. The fastest way to charge the iPad is to turn it off while charging it. Avoid USB ports on keyboards.
Should I charge my iPad every day?
Charging your iPad every day will not hurt the battery. Unlike older battery types, you don't need to wait for a lithium ion battery to drain completely before charging it. Charge it whenever you need to.
Is it better to charge iPad on or off?
As far as charging the battery, it makes no difference whether the device is off or on when plugged in, or whether it is actively in use or not when plugged in. Plug it in and unplug it any way you wish, the battery and charging circuits does not care one way or another.
