Yes, you can safely use your USB-C MacBook Power Adapter to charge your iPad - and no, it will not reduce the lifespan of your iPad battery.


Your iPad will only draw the power it requires, and will charge at its maximum supported charging rate (~20W) when connected to a USB PD (Power Delivery) compliant Power Adapter.


When using your MacBook Power Adapter, your iPad will charge no quicker than when using the USB-C Power Adapter supplied with your iPad.
