It's been plugged in for about 3-4 days now on the original charger with a genuine apple cable. I just did a manual power down (button then slide). I think I did this a couple of times but not positive (certainly did during the reset) but usually it has powered down by running out of battery then entering the restart cycle.
This whole thing didn't start at a dead battery though. My wife uses it a lot and had plugged it in at about 15% and noticed it wasn't charging. I immediately connected to my mac and did a local backup as well as iCloud backup. It then continued down to 0%/dead over a normal amount of time (i.e not a drastic drop). As stated, plugging it in now only goes to 2%
Fingers crossed that maybe the manual power down and uninterrupted charing will snap it out of this problem.

cbelt has it.
I ran into this with my iPad 3 recently, after letting the battery die out and not using it for a week. When I tried charging it again, it would only charge to a couple of percent, and then restarted itself.
Use the original charger, use an original cable. If you can get it turned on, manually turn it off so it doesn't try to enter the restart cycle again.
Plug it in for 2+ days, and then try again. Should be better.
The charging circuit that regulates how much juice/how much the battery can hold, needs to be reset/recalibrated. As far as I know just letting it charge is the only way to do this.
