How do you charge your iPad faster

I’m using iPad Air iOS 12.0 and it’s charging slow. It’s charging 3% in 8 minutes. Is there a way to charger faster than that?

iPad Air, iOS 12

The charging rate that you quote does not appear to be unusual. Consider that charging rate will be slower above 80% of maximum charge.

Your first generation iPad Air does not support USB-PD Fast Charging. The iPad Air1 will charge at its fastest supported rate when connected to a Power Adapter rated at 12W (i.e., 2.4A @5V).

The iPad Air was supplied, new, with a 12W Power Adapter.
