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
