Are you using an iPad charger and not an iPhone charger? Look on the charging block, in tiny hard to read print you can see the specs and you're looking or 10 or 12W


THe iPad shouldn't be charged via USB. Most USB ports simply do not put out enough power to keep the iPad happy....ie it trickles in power so slowly, if the screen is on, the ipad will not charge


If you are using an iPad brick, do you have a different cable to try?
