How Long Does It Take for a Completely Dead iPad to Charge?

Published in Technology 1 min read

The time it takes to fully charge a completely dead iPad varies depending on the iPad model and the charger used.

Factors Affecting Charging Time:

  • iPad Model: Newer iPad models with larger batteries generally take longer to charge than older models.
  • Charger Type: Using a higher-wattage charger will significantly reduce charging time compared to a standard 5W charger.
  • Battery Health: A battery that has degraded over time may take longer to charge.
  • Software Version: Older iPadOS versions might have different charging speeds compared to newer versions.

Approximate Charging Times:

  • Standard 5W Charger:
    • iPad mini (5th generation): 4-5 hours
    • iPad (9th generation): 5-6 hours
    • iPad Air (4th generation): 6-7 hours
    • iPad Pro (12.9-inch, 5th generation): 7-8 hours
  • Fast Charging Adapters (18W or Higher):
    • iPad mini (5th generation): 2-3 hours
    • iPad (9th generation): 3-4 hours
    • iPad Air (4th generation): 4-5 hours
    • iPad Pro (12.9-inch, 5th generation): 5-6 hours

Please note: These are just estimates, and actual charging times may vary.
