IPad crashes, plenty battery left.

Twice now my iPad Air 2 has crashed when there was 35% battery left. I plugged in with the same cable I use all the time and it showed connected, but didn’t charge. On a lark, I tried a different cable and it booted up and is charging. What the heck is going on?

iPad Air 2, iPadOS 14

iPad crashing My apple iPad crashes regularly while it had adequate charge ie. above 50%. It goes to a totally black screen. After plugging in it shows empty battery at first, but begins charging from the level it was previously at. What is this problem?

iPad Air 2 problems My iPad keeps crashing as though there is no battery left (similar to the issues of my old iPhone 6), it is not responsive in terms of touch when plugged in to charge & isn’t charging correctly & discharging swiftly. My iOS is up to date (running 13.1.3 on 27/10/19). Any ideas?

iPad not keeping a charge My 2018 iPad keeps on crashing and needs to be charged even though it’s not out of charge. When I connect to power it will come back on showing there’s charge left . It won’t do it if it’s constantly connected and charging. Do I need a new battery?

You description suggests that your original cable has a fault - the fault being simply resolved by substituting with a “known good” cable.
