iPad Pro New iPad M4 slow to start charging.

[richard371]

I notice when I want to top off my iPad it takes sometimes 10 min or more to start charging once I plug it in. I'm using my MBP charger. I've tried different chargers. Charging optimization is off. Is this normal?

I haven’t noticed any delays in charging starting with a charger connected directly to the iPad or connected to the Magic Keyboard port.

 

[aakshey]

It’s defective

 

[asleep]

It’s instant with my M4 11.

Mine starts charging when plugged in no matter what charger I am using.

having the same issue with my Iphone and other iPad.

Then it’s a charger problem. Use the iPad charger rather than the MBP one.

Mostly yes

Mostly yes

I’ve tried several chargers. The charge indicator comes on as soon as I plug them but they take 5-10 mins before the percentage goes up.

For both your iPhone and iPad?

Then it means it’s not fast charging

The cable isn’t okay

That's sounds normal. Especially if you are trying to "top off iPad" as you said, since the battery management chip charges at a slower rate when the battery is already at a high state of charge than it does when nearly depleted.

 

[aakshey]

It’s not normal
It should take a minute or two tops

If it’s 5-10 mins, it’s not fast charging

 

[richard371]

I’ll wait until the battery is very low and try it.

I’ll wait until the battery is very low and try it.

You don’t have to wait for it to be “very” low, it’s just anything over 80% is basically a trickle charge.

So if you’re looking to test, wait until 70%, then plug it in and it should charge at a normal rate until it hits 80%

Only a charge cable with new iPad Pro M4 - no charger !

 

[richard371]

This is no longer an issue.

 

[DarkSorrow82]

Mine charges right away at 35 watts when I plug it in.

 

[richard371]

Again this is resolved.
