My iPad Pro will not charge past 20%

I plug my iPad 13 Pro to charge at 20% during the day. The charge indicator remains at 20% even thought the lightning arrow indicates it is charging? Surely the battery indicator should start increasing?

As described, your iPad may have a fault.


Begin with a forced-restart of your iPad - as this will often clear an isolated software issue:


Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)

If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:

  1. Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
  3. Press and hold the top button.
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.




If you continue to experience difficulties when using an appropriate USB-C Power Adapter of 20W or greater, you might be best advised to seek assistance directly from Apple Support - and request a remote diagnostic test.
