As described your battery may require replacement. If your iPad can boot whilst connected to its Power Adapter, you would be well advised to directly contact Apple Support - and request a remote battery test. The result of the test may better inform your next steps.


You will find the Contact Support link at top-right of this page. Alternatively, you can open a support case using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

As a further alternative, you might visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store - where the technicians will be able to test and assess you iPad.
