Will charging my iPad overnight while playing music damage it?

I like to listen to music to sleep, So will it damage my IPad 13 pro if I leave it charging the entire night while playing some music?

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 automatically modify its charging strategy regardless of your iPad settings) 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.
