Help Battery at 19%, connect charger and battery 100%!

Weirdest thing today.

When the battery indicator of my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7 inch) showed it only had 19% left, I was motivated to connect it to the charger. However, being unable to find the original charger at that time I used the charger of an iPad which (according to the specs) has a similar output than the Samsung one, both supply 5v @ 2A.

The second I plugged in the cable the battery indicator jumped from 19% to 100%.

Either that iPad charger is the fastest charger in the world, or my tablet is somehow confused.
At the time of writing I noticed that the indicator shows the tablet discharging at 1% per minute. So I'm thinking that the battery is stil somewhere around 16% even though the indicator shows 94%.

This will probably cause the tablet to not show the low battery warning as it thinks it has enough power.

Anyone else had a similar experience?
