Introduction

Apple’s latest iPad Air M3 comes with a 28.93Wh battery, offering up to 10 hours of video streaming on a single charge. It ships with a 20W charger, but the packaging indicates support for up to 45W input (15V 3A).

So, what is the actual maximum charging power of the iPad Air M3? How well does it work with Apple’s original chargers, third-party adapters, and power banks? Let’s find out.

Charging Compatibility Test

Original Chargers

First, we tested the included 20W charger. The measured charging power at the iPad's input end was 8.65V 2.13A, or 18.45W.

Interestingly, when switching to a 70W Apple charger, the power only increased to 14.64V 2.01A, or 29.50W, which is far below the 45W indicated on the packaging.

To provide a clearer comparison, we compiled a summary of charging performance across multiple Apple original chargers. As expected, Apple’s chargers generally offer excellent compatibility.

Visualizing the data in a bar chart, we observed that all Apple chargers, except for the 87W model, were able to deliver either their own maximum power output or the iPad’s actually charging limit. The highest recorded power was 29.81W.

Third-party Chargers

If you ever forget your charger, you might have to rely on a third-party power adapter. So, how well does the iPad Air M3 work with non-Apple chargers when using the original USB-C cable?

We tested a Lenovo ThinkPlus 65W charger, which delivered 14.75V 2.12A, or 31.32W—even higher than Apple’s own chargers.

fter compiling data from multiple third-party chargers, we found that most chargers successfully triggered the 15V power profile, while a few operated at 9V or 12V.

Plotting this data in a bar chart, we saw that nearly all third-party chargers reached either their own maximum output or the iPad’s peak supported charging speed. The overall compatibility was excellent, and surprisingly, some third-party chargers even outperformed Apple’s original ones, with a maximum recorded power of 31.32W.

Power Banks

Finally, we tested power banks. The ZMI No.20 power bank charged the iPad at 14.59V 2.04A, or 29.81W.

The Xiaomi 20,000mAh 50W power bank delivered 14.62V 2.01A, or 29.31W.

Summarizing the results, we found that all tested power banks charged the iPad Air M3 at either 9V or 15V, with currents ranging from 1A to 2A.

A graphical comparison revealed a pattern similar to third-party chargers: most power banks achieved their highest possible PD fast-charging power, demonstrating excellent compatibility.

The bar chart clearly illustrates the power output of each charger. Over half of the tested third-party chargers delivered around 12W, while some reached 18W or 20W. A small number of chargers produced less than 10W.

Power Banks

Next, we tested charging compatibility using power banks:

The Anker GaNPrime 65W power bank delivered 8.41V at 2.41A, resulting in 20.24W of power.

With the llano 65W 20,000mAh power bank, the power output was 8.46V at 2.49A, delivering 21.1W.

When we compiled the compatibility data, most power banks triggered 8V or 9V charging modes, with only one operating at 5V.

The bar chart shows that over half of the tested power banks provided around 12W, while the rest delivered power in the 18W–20W range, similar to third-party chargers.

Power Stations

Finally, we evaluated compatibility with portable power stations:

The DJI POWER 1000 provided an input power of 8.17V at 2.13A, delivering 17.39W.

The EcoFlow RIVER3 measured 8V at 2.2A, resulting in 17.59W of power.

Summarizing the data, all tested power stations triggered 8V or 9V charging modes.

The power output from the four tested models was divided into two tiers: 12W and 18W.

Summary of ChargerAB

Overall, the Huawei Pura 70 Pro+ demonstrates excellent compatibility with its original chargers, consistently reaching their maximum rated power output. When the original charging cable isn’t available, third-party USB-C to USB-C cables can also be used as substitutes. For third-party chargers, power banks, and portable power stations, the maximum charging power was 21W, with most devices delivering between 12W and 18W.
