While Optimised charging can be enabled/disabled on iPhone, an equivalent setting doesn’t exist for iOS/iPadOS for iPad.
Optimised charging does exist for iPad; it differs from iPhone in that it is always is always active - and will optimally charge the iPad battery. This feature differs from iPhone in that full charging from 80% to 100% is not delayed - but is still at a reduced rate for this final stage of battery charging.
For iPad, charging may be limited to 80% charge when connected to its Power Adapter for extended periods - such as when used in Point of Sale (PoS) or kiosk applications. A normal charging pattern will resume when a normal charge/discharge pattern is restored.
