Battery capacity (mAh & Wh) of the Apple iPad models including Pro, Air and mini
To make it as simple as possible, the individual iPad models, their model numbers and the corresponding battery nominal power in milliamperes hours (mAh) as well as the battery power in watt hours (Wh) are in the following tables. Although I have made every effort to merge the correct data, I do not want to rule out possible typos. The information is therefore without guarantee. Thanks to constant updates, you can also find the iPad battery capacities in mAh and Wh here for newer models of iPad, iPad mini, iPad Air and iPad Pro from the last few years.

Which iPad generation do I have?
Just like when you do the Determine the iPhone model number you just have to look at the back of the device with the iPad. There is a lot of data on your Apple iPad, such as the serial number that it was designed in California and assembled in China, what specifications the charger should have and so on. And you can also find the model number under the information on the back of the iPad:
If you cannot find the model number and therefore the type and generation of your iPad on the back, you can also find this information in the original packaging and the iPadOS settings. If you have access to the system (i.e. the iPad is not broken, the battery is not completely empty or the device is inoperable), then call Settings -> General -> Info on. If you see a model number that starts with M, tap it. Then the number changes to one with A at the beginning. You can then compare these with the tables above.
Finally, you can also determine the iPad model number when you select the corresponding device after signing in on the Apple ID or iCloud website. You can find information about this in these guides on our blog: appleid.apple.com – Application examples for the Apple ID website and Where is? – Functions and app explained. If you have any questions about the topic, please use the search function here in the blog or leave a comment. We strive to answer any questions that arise as quickly as possible and to find a solution to your problem. We also offer you a Forum and one Newsletter

Hello everyone: D
Can my iPad be damaged if I charge it with a 3.0W Fast Charger 45.3? I am interested in the following charger: Aukey 45.3W universal 3-way USB charger Quick Charge 3.0 AiPower (PAT-14).
I hope you can help me, thanks!
My iPad: iPad Pro 12.9” (2015), 10.307mAh
Hello Nue! No, nothing can happen there. However, the "QuickCharge" is only interesting for Samsung devices (and some others, but not Apple). Apple uses the USB Power Delivery standard for fast charging, so you don't have an advantage when charging with the power adapter. But I don't think the 2015 iPad supports USB-PD anyway. In short: You can use the charger without hesitation. It can't break. The iPad only “takes” as much power as it needs. So don't worry... ;-) LG! Jens
Hello, I have been wondering for a long time how fast the IPhones / IPads actually charge, what about power delivery is the maximum value that is now recorded, and how much was it before? For example, is a 20w wall charger worthwhile with the old iPhone 6 series?
Hello Frosko! With iPhones it is about twice as fast according to my measurements. This means that you can go from 0 to 50% with USB PD in about 30 minutes, but only half as fast with old iPhones (iPhone 7 and earlier). Unfortunately, your iPhone 6 does not yet support USB PD. This has only been around since the iPhone 8.
iPad 7th gen
32,4 Wh / 8.827 mAh

https://support.apple.com/kb/SP807?locale=de_DE <- 32,4 Wh
(the 8827mAh are above from the list of other iPads with the same amount of energy)
Thanks Tim! I have just completed the data and also picked out the appropriate model number. : D
Thank you. Well, I'm really happy that my two year old iPad still has 100 percent battery capacity.
Otherwise, I'm disappointed that the iPhone battery has a capacity of 68 percent after two and a half years
Hello, the iPads numbered A1893 and A1566 have removable batteries, ie will they fit? One of my iPads has a broken screen and the other won't charge, so I want to put the broken screen's battery in the other.
Hi Jody! From what I've read, the iPad 6th Gen (A1893) battery has an 8827mAh battery, while the Apple iPad Air 2 (A1566) has a 7340mAh battery. I assume they have different dimensions and are not interchangeable. But you can certainly buy a suitable battery and install it if you have no problem replacing a battery on the iPad yourself.
Hello
I had problems charging the ipad air 5 (USB-C) with a power bank (USB-A) after 1h only charged 10%; the ipad Gen.5 (lightning), on the other hand, charges 1% in 30 hour on the same power bank and has a larger battery, how can that be explained??? The connection cable used is designed for 3A
MfG Thomas
I would say that simply in the combination USB-C-to-USB-A a lower charging current is negotiated than between Lighting and USB-A. I can't explain it any other way. But 10% after an hour is definitely not enough. Can you use the same cable and test it on a power supply? If it's faster, it's because the power bank with the iPad simply doesn't "make out" more charging current or has a technical defect. Or your charging cable is defective.
