Will it not damage my iPad 8 if I charge it using a regular 10w Apple Charger?

Will it not damage my iPad 8 if I charge it using a regular 10w Apple Charger? With regards to this, will it not damage my family’s iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air 2, iPhone 7 Plus and iPad 6 with 20w Apple Charger? Thank you.

That is a BAD idea.

It will take forever for your iPad to charge using that 5W Apple charger.

You can use the 10W, 12W, 18W, 20W, 30W, etc., Apple power/charging adapters with NO issues.

The iPad internal charging hardware will only take as much power as it needs to charge.

An iPad will never take the full amount of larger wattage Apple power/charging adapters.
