I have a 2018 ipad pro that came with an 18W charging adapter. I just recently bought an ipad mini that comes with a 20W charging adapter. Was wondering if i can use both the 18W and 20W to charge both ipads interchangably.
iPad mini 6 Wi-Fi
Most models of iPad require a Power Adapter rated at 12W or greater to reliably charge. 5W Power Adapters intended for older models of iPhone are inadequate to charge an iPad.
Your 18W and 20W USB-C Power Adapters can be used interchangeably with your iPad. Both support USB PD (Power Delivery) Fast Charging with compatible models of iPad and iPhone. While their are technical differences between the two, for practical purposes, you shouldn’t notice any significant difference in charging performance.

Yes, you can.
You can use a more powerful charger too, since the charger doesn’t “push” power; it just supplies the power “drawn” by the device.
