So I know the iPad Air 2 doesn’t have fast charge, but if I use a 20 W power adapter, how much better will it charge my iPad than the regular 5 W that I’m using now?
P.S. This question might be a bit odd, but I’m trying to figure out if the fast charge adapter will do anything at all/if it even matters that I get the higher wattage one.
iPad Air 2, iPadOS 14
If you are using the iPhone 5W power/charging adapter to charge your iPad Air 2, that adapter is underpowered to charge an iPad.
It must be taking 8-10 hours, or more to charge that iPad Air 2 with such a small wattage charger.
The 20W adapter will charge your iPad Air faster, but only up to a 12W maximum, perhaps 14W, but that is it!
Your iPad Air 2 should charge anywhere between 3-4 hours with the 20W charger.
Best of Luck to You!

When using the 20W Power Adapter, your iPad will be able to charge at a much faster rate.
Your iPad Air2 supports charging at a 12W charging rate (2.4A @5V).
I’m surprised that you can achieve an acceptable charging rate at all when using a 5W iPhone Power Adapter. Both the iPad Air1 and Air2 were supplied from new with a 12W Power Adapter.
Noted. Thanks so much!
