I'd be stunned if this is bad battery, more likely it is either a short on the main power rail of the logic board, mechanical damage to the charge port, a bad charging permission ic chip or a bad NAND flash memory chip. None of these are DIY fixes so a trip to your closest microsoldering board repair shop is likely your best bet.

Yes the battery is repairable. But It does take a hr+ to do. You have to heat up the LCD slowly and they take it off. They are charging way too much for a battery. I work for a apple based company and iPad battery replacements are 120-150 max. Also if you do take it in to a 3rd party repair shop, make sure they test it with a new battery 1st. If it works then your good to go. Some places just put a new one it, won't test it then charge you for it plus labor!

"@pma1612 could be a bad battery. Could also be that your logicboard has a fault which the charging IC etc. If you want to start with the battery and want to do it yourself use this guide. The battery is available at places like this.

Check with a USB ammeter if your iPad even attempts to charge. Check your cable/charger and port as well to make sure that all that functions as it is supposed to."

"Hi,

I had the same issue and went to she Apple store. They initially told me it needed an update via iTunes but that was not the case. After connecting it with iTunes, it remained dead. If you press the home button together with on/off button, keep it pressed and then when it reboots, keep the home button pressed for another 15 sec you should force the ipad to a factory default. After this, I connected the ipad to a macbook and was able to do a new install. Maybe this helps?"
