There are two ways to recharge your iPad. If you want to use your iPad while it's recharging, plug its USB cable and adapter into an electric outlet. This is also the fastest way to recharge your iPad.
You can also plug your iPad into a computer's USB outlet to recharge it. Some computers with high-powered USB outlets will let you use your iPad as it charges. But if you plug the iPad into your computer and try to use it, you may see a "Not Charging" notice near the battery indicator. This indicates that your computer's USB outlet is not high-powered, and that you cannot use the iPad as it is charging. (If you put your iPad to sleep while it's plugged in, it will slowly recharge.)
Note
To ensure a full battery, plug your iPad into a wall outlet overnight. That way, the iPad will be fully charged the next morning.
Warning
Hot weather (95°F, or 35°C) can irreversibly harm your iPad's battery, so avoid storing your iPad in direct sunlight. If your iPad feels excessively warm while it's recharging inside a carrying case, take it out of its case before recharging. Cold weather will only temporarily prevent your iPad's battery from holding a charge. Once you move your iPad to a warmer area, its battery will hold its charge normally.
