iPad Mini 6 (6th Generation) not charging

New and latest iPad mini 6. Using the provided wall charger and usb C cable. Tried with multiple outlets. The iPad will either not recognize charge when plugged in OR will charge at first and eventually lose charge as if it was disconnected. It’s my only charger/usb C cable so it’s possible it could be a bad cable/charger brick but it is also brand new…

Troubleshooting iPad Charge:

A. Start Here: iPad Accessories - Power & Cables Power & Cables - Apple


B. Try what is on these Links:


C. 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).


For Note:

D. 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%.


E. 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.
