Many iPhone Power Adapters are only rated a 5W - and are totally inadequate for charging an iPad. Most models of iPad require a USB Power Adapter of 12W or greater to reliably charge.


If your Power Adapter is adequately rated - are having difficulties with charging your iPad, consider that the problem may be with the Power Adapter, cable, or iPad. These support pages should help with troubleshooting:


Charge and monitor the iPad battery - Apple Support

If your iPad won't charge – Apple Support


Troubleshooting generally requires substitution of the Power Adapter and cable for another known-good item.
