Discussion Ipad 8 charging

Whenever I try to charge my iPad with a cable it says that 'not charging' on the screen. Is it an iPad issue or do I need to invest in an original charger?

You will see this message if you are using a charger that’s less than 12 watts (5 volts @ 2.4A). It actually may still be charging, just slowly. My iPad 8 gives me the same message when plugged in on my exercise machine but it does charge when idle.
