If you are still using it in 13 years time I'm guessing that your software will be about a decade out of date!

I tend to recharge my iPad every second day. Lets see, that's at least 5 years . Not too shabby! Well before that I'll probably bite the bullet and get the iPad13
I always use my tablets to the full without worrying about battery life, because I want to take full advantage of their convenience, and the battery is replaceable if it comes down to it. Either you can replace it yourself or, in iPad's case, you can send it to Apple for about $100 for a replacement. Of course, by then, it might not be worth replacing.
I've had iPad 1 since day one of the 3G model and used it like crazy. During the first year of use, when I was taking a year off work, I often drained it once a day. I'm not careful with charging -- I often use it till it's drained. After 2.5 years, its battery is still going strong. Its guts are showing age because newer firmware, apps and graphic-intensive websites are crashing or slowing it, though. So for me, the battery has outlived the iPad's innards.
