Can I use 60 watt charger for iPad?

Answered by Michael Wilson

You can use a 60W charger for your iPad. However, it is important to note that using a higher wattage charger will not necessarily result in faster charging for your iPad.

The iPad is designed to charge at a maximum power of 20W, which means that using a 60W charger will not provide any additional benefit in terms of charging speed. This is because the charging speed is limited by the device itself, rather than the charger.

The purpose of a higher wattage charger, such as a 60W USB-PD Power Adapter, is to provide enough power for devices that require higher charging speeds, such as laptops or certain smartphones. These devices are designed to support higher power input and can take advantage of the faster charging capabilities of a higher wattage charger.

In the case of the iPad, however, it is not designed to take advantage of the higher power input provided by a 60W charger. So, while you can safely use a 60W charger with your iPad, it will not result in faster charging times. The iPad will only draw the power it requires, up to its maximum charging rate of 20W.

It is worth noting that using a higher wattage charger than what is recommended by the manufacturer does not pose any risk to your device. The iPad is designed to handle different power inputs and will only draw the power it needs. So, using a 60W charger will not damage your iPad or cause any issues.

While you can use a 60W charger for your iPad, it will not provide any additional benefit in terms of charging speed. The iPad is designed to charge at a maximum power of 20W, and using a higher wattage charger will not change this maximum achievable charging rate.
