Due to Hurricane Helene. I needed to use a generator to have electricity. However total wattage is needed on all appliances and devices that you connect to a generator. I am asking the following:
How many watts are used when running an iPad Pro? Not wattage when idling but when using the iPad.
iPad Pro, iPadOS 16
Most models of iPad will run or charge (albeit at a reduced charging rate) from a USB Power Adapter rated at 12W. If you charge using a Power Adapter with a higher output, the iPad will make use of the additional power available to charge at faster rate (20-30W being optimal for most recent models of iPad and iPad Pro).
A USB Power Adapter that outputs less than 12W (2.4A @5V) is unlikely to provide sufficient power to run your iPad
As such, if you are load-constrained, using a Power Adapter rated at 12W can provide sufficient power for iPad while limiting the potential load upon your generator.
