iPad Pro Charing iPad Pro with MacBook Pro charger

[UBS28]

Will the much faster charging of the MacBook Pro charger reduce the battery health of the iPad Pro?

The stock charger for my M1 MBA is 30w. If I am not mistaken, that is the same for the iPad Pro. It shouldn't be a problem.

Are you using the stock charger?

I am using the 61W charger from the MacBook Pro. However I am concerned that this “fast charging” might reduce battery health.

charging is a process of negotiating between charger, cable, and target device. If iPad Pro says 20W is the max amount to receive, that MacBook charger won’t deliver more than 20W to iPad Pro.

Yes, that's how batteries work.

Yes, that's how batteries work.

Ok thanks, I will go back to the original charger of the iPad Pro then.

No problem at all. You can also charge your iPhone with a 96W charger if you want.

The device will only draw the power it's built for anyway.

It will charge at the maximum that the iPad is designed to handle when you introduce a more powerful charger. That’s probably still at 30W somewhere.

Will the battery health be impacted by this potentially? Possible.
Will you see a measurable impact on your daily life with the iPad? Relatively unlikely in my opinion over the lifetime of the device.
