Hi All,
Um just wondering whether I can use 10W or 12W old ipad charger with new Ipad Air 4?
Will it damage battery when charged for long term? or is it safe?
I have also decided to purchase a usb A to usb type c cable to go along with it.
Please tell me your thoughts on this, if its techy, much preferred.
Thank you,
Anushka Udeshan
iPad Air, iPadOS 14
Reason um thinking about using a lower watt charger is, 20W charges which came with my ipad air 4 is brings up some heat to the battery when charging. I want to avoid any damage caused by heat as I want to use my ipad for longer time period without damaging it.
I always charge the ipad up to 85% or below to be safe and not using below 45-50% battery .
Hope this is ok as well , if you can give a feedback :)
Thank you
Yes, you can use the older style, 10 or 12 watt charge cubes. While it may take longer to charge, it will not harm the battery.
All your micromanaging of the charge process is pointless. The iPad is designed to be charged with the 20 watt charge cube.
and a bit of heat on the battery while charging to 80% is ok for long term battery health?
Is it ok to use Apple 10W-12W ipad charger with new Ipad Air 4?
