My ellipsis 10 won’t be a year old till July
OK, then that is a bad sign. It shouldn't be dying at that age.
I see from PhoneArena (https
/www.phonearena.com/phones/Verizon-Wireless-Ellipsis-10_id9791) that the tablet has a microUSB charging port, the default for Android devices for several years.
In that case, try Viddyvane's recommendation and a) use the Ellipsis charger on another device and b) try another device's charger with the Ellipsis. (You may need to match the amperage output, as some tablets require at least 2.1 amps to charge, and some smartphone chargers deliver only 1 amp.)
If a) charges the OTHER device slower than usual, then it's the charger. If b) charges the Ellipsis faster than usual, then it's the charger. If neither is true, then ....
... it could be a banged-up USB port on the Ellipsis. I've had several phones that won't charge properly because the port has literally been bent out of shape. Sometimes a different cable will work better; sometimes you have to position the plug at a slant to get it to charge the battery. So play around with different cables and angles.
... Or your battery could be dying after all. I looked around and it looks like replacement batteries for Ellipsis tablets are available and inexpensive. Make sure the replacement comes close to the original battery's capacity, however. I don't know exactly which model you have, but some of the Ellipsis 10 tablets come with 9100 mAh batteries, which is a ton of capacity.
