I am finding that the charger that came with my IPad Mini 4 is giving me the best charge from any third party charger. When I use the OEM charger, I normally get 12 hours on a full charge, but when I use a third party wall charger, I get about 10 hours. Has anyone else notice this?

The oem charger takes longer to fully charge my IPad and therefore giving me a much longer battery life on the IPad.

If the third-party charger does not use the correct voltage for charging the device, it will naturally charge the device at a slower rate.

Third party chargers? Be careful,some of those might be dangerous. I usually prefer to pay the extra money for an original Apple charger.
