iPad Pro Anyone use 13" MBP 61w Charger with their 4th Gen IPP 12.9?

If so, just curious how long it takes to charge compared to the included 18w charger in the IPP box.

The max charging speed for the iPad Pro is 30W, so there's roughly a 50% decrease in charge times compared to the 18W charger.

I wouldn't use it everyday if you are trying to prolong the battery life, since fast charging will cause the battery to heat up more often.

It will also depend on which 61W charger is being used. The one from 2016-2017 doesn't support the 15V spec that the iPad uses. whereas the 2018+ does support 15v charging. with my 2020 11" when using a 61/87 watt charger I find that im stuck around 9v 2.6A where as with a IF complaint charger I can get 14.5v at 2.34A or 30W

Awesome thanks. It's the 2019 MBP charger so all good. I just take it with me travelling, then use it to charge my MBP, iPhone, AW and now the iPad 🤣
