Ipad not charging properly

My iPad sometimes won’t charge and when it does it takes 7 or 8 hours to get a full charge. What can I do?

Troubleshooting iPad Charge:


A. Start Here: If your iPad won't Charge - Apple Support


B. Which Cables to Use: iPad Accessories - Power & Cables Power & Cables - Apple


C. Try what is on these Links:


D. Use an Apple Brand Cable:

Do not use a third party cable - cool though it may look, a fabric, third-part cable would likely tear - (Apple cable's are plastic and are intended for Apple).


E. About Battery Health:

Apple doesn't have Battery Health on an iPad. But, for note, Apple recommends that you get a new battery on an iPhone once its Battery Health reaches 80%.


F. A Faulty Device?:

So, is this covered under warranty? Note that this comes with a one-year, out-of-the-box, limited-warranty. So, set up a Genius Bar Appointment, asking them if this a faulty device.
