I don't know what app specifically you're using (couldn't find anything just called "remote battery".) but two that I found alread have iPad support.

Links I think for the Canadian App Store but I'm sure you can find the same apps on the US one of that's where you are.
Hey the first one was the one I was talking about! I like that one. But neither of them seem to work for iPad so I could check iPad's battery status on my watch
I guess that one doesn't. However that second one I linked it was added in the last update from May 14th 2015 the last line in the notes "It now supports iPad (Check your iPad battery level)"
So that second one I linked will for sure do what you want.
Checking iPad battery status on your watch isn't going to happen, because iPad doesn't connect with your watch. I believe those apps can display a notification on your iPad when the battery is fully charged, but there's no way for that notification to show up on your watch.
It could if the author wrote it to send an iCloud notification instead of a local notification and you had the same app on your phone configured to receive iCloud notifications, but only the apps author could tell you if that's a possibility for his app.
The second app I linked specifically says in the lastest update notes on the last line "It now supports iPad (Check your iPad battery level)"
I can't test it because I'm not going to spend money on it to just test, but it sounds to me that it can allow you to see iPad battery levels.
But it doesn't say if you can see the iPad battery level from the watch. I'm not paying to find out, either.
