iPad Air charging going down even plugged in?
I regularly used my IPad a good 12 hours a day, I normally leave it plugged in as I don't go anywhere bar the desk I sit it, I I'm wheelchair bound and housebound, rather than a lazy git.
But it seems to be going down a good 80 percent in that 12 hours even if I leave it plugged in. Normally use it for radio, and playing Football Manager Mobile. Could it be my charging lead, or the adapter I use to charge it with |

Try turning off all but essential push notifications, close all open apps and switch off any unnecessary location services.
That said, games eat power these days. |

Probably a poor charger not putting out enough power - had this with an Android phone when charging in the car when being used as a sat nav. It used to drain the battery despite being charged. A new charger solved it.

For some reason my brightness was on full, even though it was set to auto brightness, maybe I need to reset my ipad

So the lead more than the adapter plug then, a shame as the lead I bought only a few months ago from Amazon it's RRP was getting on for 60 pounds and got it for a tenner
Both the charger and the lightning cable are important. I always recommend Anker as a brand for things like this unless you go for the official Apple products |

Do you still have the lead and adapter that came with the iPad? If so have you tried them to see if it is any better?
I have a mains adapter which also has 2 usb sockets on the top but I rarely use it as it doesn't appear to have anywhere near the same charging ability as the Apple adapter. |

You need a 2.4A 12w charger for the iPad Air, like the one that came with it.

have you tried another device's charger in that plug socket? I've just found out I have a dodgy socket in my flat when a friend couldn't charge his phone properly. Moved wall socket and it was fine. Some devices work fine in that socket (??).
Otherwise, might be time to buy a new charger? Have you asked Apple if constantly using the iPad on power hungry games while it's on charge can cause problems? |

Get a PC or if you feel its needed another Apple machine, much better for desktop use.
