iPad Pro Charging 2020 iPad Pro with old USB charger

[qtrim]

Getting my wife a new 2020 iPad Pro. She likes to use our charging station that has standard USB 2.4 amp ports. Assuming I get a usb-a to usb-c cable, will it hurt the iPad Pro to charge on a lower Amp power supply? I know it will be slower, but she charges overnight, so she’s not in a hurry.

Thanks for your input.

It will work just fine it will take longer to charge but that’s not a bad thing

As long as you can handle how slow it is, it'll work great.

Dunno about 11”, but if she’s using it with a 12.9”, be aware it can utilize more than 12 Watts during heavy active use. What this means is that with heavy use you will actually lose charge on a 2.4 amp 5 volt charger.

However, if it’s just charging overnight without being used, then it should be fine, although it will as mentioned, charge slowly.

If you always charge overnight, it’s not a huge deal.

iPad Pro 11” and iPad Air 3 have almost the same battery capacity but uses different charging bricks (12W vs 18W).

I was able to charge my sister’s MacBook Pro with a 12W charger + USB-A to USB-C GoPro cable when she forgot to pack a charger. You just can’t use it while charging though and yes, it was overnight.

By slow, it's like 10% every 2-3 hours....it's REALLY slow. I'm sad because my Anker block has always charged all my stuff, including my iPad Air 2 pretty quickly, but my 2020 IPP charges at a snail's pace on it (USB-C to USB adapter being used).
