Be sure that you are charging using the correct wall adapter like this one here. Also make sure that the charging cable is not longer than three feet (or one meter). There is too much voltage drop for the iPad to charge properly on most longer cables. iPads also will not properly charge when plugged in to a PC or Mac - not enough voltage over the normal USB connection.

I know it's kind of late to answer this but to anyone who have this issue, it's your charger cable, in the cable there are a few wires for different things, I don't know exactly which does what, but some of them are for charging , some of them are for USB connection , I think those wires for charging are damaged and when you plug it in , ipad thinks it's connected to the charger because of those wires that are not damaged yet...you should buy another charger cable, like I do , every single month !

I followed advice about not using a long extension cable. As soon as I disconnected from extension cable and plugged charging cable directly into wall socket, all was well.

Try getting a toothpick to clean the port in which your skinny end of the charger goes that is on your device. Be careful not to scratch it. This process will help clean your device and might allow it to charge.
