Hello!


Playing games while charging your iPad will not directly harm the battery. One thing that you will notice is that the iPad may charge slower when you are playing resource intensive games. If you will be playing games and trying to charge your iPad at the same time, I would recommend that you have powerful charging adapter. Depending on the iPad you have, you can find links to compatible recommended chargers below.
