I use an iPad Pro on my desktop with an external monitor. The battery drains quite fast (40% drain in 3.5 hours with moderate use like Mail, Safari and some Video watching) so I was wondering if it hurts the battery if I keep it plugged into the 20W power adapter and just unplug it on the weekends when it’s not in use?
iPad Pro (6th generation)
Your iPad will suffer no ill effects through being connected to its Power Adapter for extended periods. Your iPad will automatically regulate and optimise charging - and will not overcharge the battery.
When used in kiosk applications - where external power is connected for extended periods of time - the iPad may modify its charging strategy and limit battery charge to ~80% of maximum. This modified charging strategy is designed to reduce chemical ageing that might otherwise occur if 100% charge is maintained at all times.
Nominal 100% charging will be restored when a normal charge/discharge routine is restored.

Keeping iPad Pro plugged in bad for battery life?
