So, when I plug in my 8th Generation iPad to charge using my Apple 10 Watt charger it does charge for a minute or 2 then displays “Not Charging” next to the battery icon, I’ve tried restarting it and unplugging the charger then plugging it back in again but this doesn’t work, I hope I don’t need to drive to an Apple Store as my nearest one is an hour away and the warranty has expired.

Most models of iPad require a Power Adapter rated at least 12W (i.e., 2.4A @5V) to reliably charge. As described, the Power Adapter that you are using cannot provide adequate power to charge your iPad.

Some third-party USB-C power adapters (and portable PowerBanks) may not support USB PD (Power Delivery). Power Delivery mutually negotiates the charging voltage; the source, load and cable are all elements involved in the negotiation protocol. Unless the Power Adapter explicitly supports USB PD, it will almost certainly fail to charge the iPad; proprietary charging standards, such as QC (Quick Charge), are not supported by Apple.
Using an 18 Watt Power Adapter and the same thing happens, do I need an official Apple one?
