I’m using a 6thGen iPad Pro 12.9 and a MKB. I can charge my Magic Mouse and iPhone 15 Pro Max thru the port on the iPad using, Pass through, C-C (Phone) or C-Lightning (Mouse) using cables (Apple). When I connect my Apple MagSafe charger I get nothing. I have checked the MagSafe charger in a wall outlet and it works fine. Am I missing a setting somewhere? The iPad charges fine when connected to the MKB.
I just checked my Airpods Pro using C-Lightning Cable and that works fine also.
Does the IPad not support MagSafe passthrough charging?

I cant believe some of you brainiacs don’t have an answer for this. Maybe I’m not as clear as needed. I plug my Magsafe charger into the port on my iPad. My iPad is connected to my Magic Keyboard. I have pass through power but MagSafe will not charge. MagSafe works when plugged into Apple adapter and AC power. Does the iPad not put out enough power to power MagSafe charger? I can power everything else thru iPad (AirPods Pro, Magic Mouse, External 2TB SanDisk SSD Drive) using Type C cable.
 
No. It’s not strong enough. If you want to charge from your iPad you need to plug it into the iPads USB C port. The one on the keyboard doesn’t provide enough power. You’ll notice it if you try to charge your iPad by having the keyboard plugged in.
