Hello!
I generally use my iPad for school and design related things. After school ended I have not found myself using it often. Today I went to go charge my iPad and found that it was not turning on, even after charging it for hours. The iPad wasn't lighting up at all while I had it plugged in. does this happen if you do not charge an iPad for a long period of time?

iPad batteries must be periodically recharged if they are set-aside for storage - or if they are infrequently used - as otherwise the battery will eventually become fully depleted through self-discharge. Li-ion batteries must never be allowed to remain fully discharged, as they may irretrievably damaged and may not recover.

If the battery cannot be charged, the battery (or the iPad) will require replacement:

Before entertaining repair, you can attempt to restart your iPad. If your iPad is unresponsive, connect your iPad to its Power Adapter and allow the iPad to charge undisturbed for at least an hour - or preferably overnight. Then, while still connected to external power, try a forced-restart:
Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)
If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:
Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)
Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
If iPad still doesn’t turn on, or if it gets stuck during start up, see the Apple Support article If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t turn on or is frozen. Or if your iPad isn’t working correctly after you restart it, see the iPad Support website.
If you continue to experience difficulties, you will need to seek assistance directly from from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page. Alternatively, you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:
