That's a long time, takes about 6hrs from 3% to 100% for me on original charger and the generic wall outlet to USB.

6 hours? Mine takes about 3-4 hours from 0-100%...

Try another charger. If this doesn't help to increase the charging time, you'll have to visit an apple store, because this isn't normal ;)
 
Lan and cool thanks for the help, yeah it was the POS charger tha came with the ipad, i started using the connector that came with my ipod years ago and it charged it from 1-100 in 7 hours.:D
 
sometimes (on my mac at least) if the magsafe isn't plugged in correctly, or the power cable is not connected correctly, you will get very little charge if anything.
