For more information about charging your iPad, refer to the Safety, Handling, and Support section of the iPad user guide.

It's recommended that you charge the iPad with the included USB cable and power adapter. However, you can also charge the iPad with “Made for iPad” or other third-party cables and power adapters that are compliant with USB 2.0 or later and with applicable country regulations and international and regional safety standards. Other adapters may not meet applicable safety standards, and charging with such adapters could pose a risk of death or injury.

Using damaged cables or chargers, or charging when moisture is present, can cause fire, electric shock, injury, or damage to iPad or other property. When you charge iPad, make sure the USB cable is fully inserted into the power adapter before you plug the adapter into a power outlet. It’s important to keep iPad, the USB cable, and the power adapter in a well-ventilated area when in use or charging.
