Ipad 10 battery charger
Hello everyone. I consult you, I like to take care of the battery and the iPad I have is the one from 2022 which is 10.9, it comes with the 20 watt charger and I had planned to charge it with the 5 watt adaptor which is the one I used with iPhone 6s, but I can't because it has a different adaptor and cable so in that case how do I do it? Because I read in a lot of forums and saw videos that say that if I charge the iPhone with a fast charger in the long run the battery breaks down so I don't want the same thing to happen to me with the iPad when I charge it with the 20 wats. How do I charge it with the 5 wats if they don't have the same connecter? What do you recommend?
Most models of iPad require a Power Adapter rated at 12W (i.e., 2.4A @5V) or greater to reliably charge. 5W Power Adapters (1.0A @5V) intended for older models of iPhone are inadequate to charge an iPad; if the iPad charges at all, charging will be very slow. Recent models of iPad are supplied with a 20W USB-C Power Adapter.
Some third-party USB-C power adapters (and portable PowerBanks) may not support USB PD (Power Delivery). Power Delivery mutually negotiates the charging voltage; the source, load and cable are all elements involved in the negotiation protocol. Unless the Power Adapter explicitly supports USB PD, it will almost certainly fail to charge the iPad; proprietary charging standards, such as QC (Quick Charge), are not supported.
Many computer USB ports also cannot source sufficient power to charge an iPad. Unless explicitly designed for charging connected devices, computer USB ports are typically limited to 0.5-1A @5V (i.e., 2.5-5.0W).
Your iPad will automatically regulate battery charging - and will only fast-charge to 80% if the battery temperature and battery health meet very specific criteria. Beyond 80% charge, or if conditions do not meet the criteria for fast-charging, the iPad will charge at a much slower rate.
Modern rechargeable battery chemistries, when properly managed, will not appreciably degrade any quicker when used with fast-charging.
When charging your iPad, you'll clearly need the correct cable that matches your Power Adapter and iPad charging port. The iPad10 has a USB-C charging port; when used with the recommended 20W USB-C Power Adapter, you'll require a USB-C to USB-C charging cable.
If instead you are using an older 12W Power Adapter, with a USB Type-A connector, you'll need a USB Type-A to USB-C cable.
