My iPad Air with iOS 10.2.1 says that it is 'Not Charging' when it is plugged in. It is charging, albeit slowly.
Using original Apple hardware and lighting cable.

Try a reset by holding the power and home keys down until the Apple logo appears.
If that does not help, I suggest you take the iPad and charger in for testing.

Hi. Are you using the 12 Watt charger that came with the iPad, or some other source, maybe a computer?
It is indeed. you should be able to see the wattage rating (10 or 12 watts) printed on the outside. you will probably need a magnifying glass to see the printing clearly.
The 12 Watt charger has not solved the problem
Hi. The iPhone chargers are 1 Watt. This is not enough to run the iPad and charge it, so it says "not charging". It will charge if you sleep it, but it will take at least 8 hours. You should use the iPad charger. Note that you can use it for the phone as well; the extra wattage won't hurt the phone.
Not sure which one this is but this is the cord and plug that I a using. I don't now if this is the one that came with the iPad or the iPhone
I'll give this a try. Thanks Barry.
Diana,
Is this an iPad charger?
Rebooting did not solve the problem and I live 2-2.5 hrs from an Apple retail store so taking it there for checking is not very practical.
