Hello KyleSingh_2311,


Thanks for asking the Apple Support Communities for help with your iPad Mini 2 not charging.


For normal charging issues, please start with the troubleshooting here: If your iPad won't charge - Apple Support


The alert you provided looks like your computer can't provide enough power to charge your iPad as noted here:


"If your Mac or PC doesn’t provide enough power to charge iPad, a Not Charging message appears in the status bar."


For the accessory not supported, make sure you are using Apple cables, and not uncertified cables or adaptors: Identify counterfeit or uncertified Lightning connector - Apple Support


Cheers.
