iPad 5th gen not charging
So i have an iPad 5th gen that I’ve had for a LONG time & for some reason it’s charging really slow and runs out of battery pretty fast. Is there any way I can fix this?

All batteries have a finite service life - with a limited number of charge/discharge cycles. Every battery charge cycle diminishes the available battery capacity by a tiny amount; this effect is cumulative - and causes the battery to slowly lose capacity over its usable life. As described, your battery is approaching the end of its usable life.
You can either continue to use your iPad while it is connected to its Power Adapter, or you can consider battery replacement.
For practical purposes, for battery service of qualifying devices, Apple usually exchange the iPad for a renewed/refurbished iPad of the same model and specification. The cost of the exchange is the same as would otherwise be charged for battery replacement. When exchanged, the replacement iPad is yours to keep.

Exchanging the iPad is a quick and easy alternative - and if exchanged in store, is usually same day.
