6 years ago - the second a year later w/ a 30-pin adapter (which I owned until replacing w/ an iPad Air 2 in 2014) - the age of the battery and the recharging cycles (check HERE for an explanation) are likely the important issue and not whether your can SUPER-CHARGE the device. Hi again - the maximum power input that the iPad will accept is 10-12 watts - using a higher powered adapter will not decrease the charge time and may even cause damage although the 'protective' safeguards built into the device will likely be protective.Ĭoncerning my initial post which you seemed to have dismissed as of 'no value' and failed to respond to my questions, the model of your wife's iPad and its age is important - the first iPad was released in 2010, i.e. NOTE: The USB-C 29W charger is for the new Macbooks though it has been used for quick charing 12.7" iPad Pros, that is not it's intended puprose. The USB/Lighting 12W chargers should be more than enough

Charge rate is controled by the iPad's hardware, and 29W exceeds the charging capacity of pretty much every iPad except the newer Pro models. There is no point in getting the 29W USB-C charger. If the problem is the 30-pin cable itself, apple still sells replacements for them or any Apple approved third party cable should work. These used Firewire ports on the charger and cable.) (The excpeption would be the oldest 30-pin cables that came with older iPod (music player) models. No need for a fancy adaptor that would only add extra complexity. So, if you want to use a newer charger, just plug the 30-pin cable into it. The Lighting cable uses same port on the charger side that the 30-pin cables uses. With the exception of the newest USB-C chargers, all Apple's iOS chargers have standard USB ports.
