I should clarify my statement.

If the charger is correctly built with the basic safety features that are the industry standard it should be fine.


There are cheap chargers that are not correctly designed and built that can lead to damage to your device or cause injury or death.


I would avoid any chargers sold by a notorious Chinese Amazon rival known for selling cheap and dangerous junk.

Only buy a charger built by a reputable, known company.

Does the USB-C Power Adapter explicitly support USB PD (Power Delivery)? USB PD is the key factor in determining suitability for charging your iPad and other Apple devices.


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 is not suitable for charging your iPad; proprietary charging standards, such as QC (Quick Charge), are not supported.
