Is there an iPad dual lightning adapter for power + input?

I am using GarageBand with attached microphone and electric guitar through USB adapters to the lightning input. Is there any kind of adapter that would allow me to simultaneously attach to the mic or guitar and a power source? I find both of those deplete the iPad battery fairly quickly and I have to stop what I’m doing in GB and recharge.

I did find a Belkin adapter that allows dual lightning attachments with one being power, but the other only works with audio output for listening to audio on the iPad.

Thanks for any advice.

I have seen cables/convertors that you plug into your device and then have both another lightning port and the port you wanted to add. Examples of these that I personally used in the past are a HDMI adaptor and a USB-A port. Is this what you are looking for?

Alternatively, there's a lot of hubs you could look into that you plug into your lightning port. Search amazon for "lightning hub for ipad" to find a few. A lot of these come with a lightning port that you can use to charge your device with.

I hope this is what you're looking for.

I have one I got from Belkin years ago. I use it for my car charge and aux cable.
