Given my understanding that it is okay for our devices' batteries to be plugged into a charger that produces higher wattages than the original equipment but lower wattage chargers may degrade our batteries, here's my question.

The current generation iPad Pro has an 18W charger. I have a USB-A to USB-C cable to connect my rMBP to the iPad Pro. How much wattage does that USB port provide? Is it less than the 18W wall charger?
