Ipad stuck on 7% battery

I have an ipad 2 which is a couple of years old now. Never had any problems with it until yesterday. The battery went down to 10% so i put it on charge and today when its unplugged the battery decreases but when its plugged in, it says its charging but it hasnt moved from 7%.

So by the looks of it i can either unplug it and use it until it runs flat or i can only use it when its plugged in.

Any idead?

Have you powered it off fully (press and hold the power button and then swipe to switch off)? Then when it's off, plug it back into the wall socket and then power it back on.

Better still do a soft reset by pressing & holding the power & home button until the apple logo appears on the screen

What are you charging it from? It could be the charger, but you might want to try a factory reset first.

Try another charger but I think the battery has failed and you need to get a new one fitted.

It will (slowly) take a charge from any computer USB port - try that for a few hours in the absence of an alternative wall charger.
