Your iPad is more than just a tablet. It’s your notepad, sketchbook, entertainment hub, and work companion. From morning meetings to late-night streaming, it keeps up with every part of your day. But when you’re out and about, keeping it charged can be tricky.
That’s why you need a Cygnett iPad Power Bank. Designed with power, speed, and durability in mind, our portable chargers keep your iPad powered without relying on a wall charger or power supply.
Whether you’re on a flight, working remotely, or studying at your favourite café, our Power Banks make sure your iPad, iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad Mini, and Android tablets always have the energy to keep up. Compact yet powerful, they’re your go-to portable Power Banks for seamless productivity on the go.
Why your iPad needs the right Power Bank
iPads are powerful devices with larger batteries than most smartphones. That means they need more charging power to reach 100% faster. Because of this, using any Power Bank won’t always give you the best results. You need a Power Bank that matches your iPad’s wattage to ensure safe, fast charging every time.
Most iPads support fast charging at around 20W to 35W (up to 50% charge), depending on the model. The iPad Air and iPad Pro series can handle up to about 35W via a USB-C port, while older models with a Lightning cable typically support up to 20W.
This is why choosing a Power Bank with the right wattage ensures you get faster charge times without compromising your iPad’s battery life.
And at Cygnett, you'll have heaps of options. We have fast-charging Power Banks with outputs over 35W, and up to 100W to charge multiple devices at once. Plus, many of our Power Banks are built with intelligent Power Delivery (PD) technology that automatically adjusts its output to suit your device. This prevents overheating and battery strain while delivering optimal performance.
But it’s not just about power. The right charging cable also matters. So, make sure to pair your Power Bank with a durable Cygnett USB-C cable or Lightning cable for maximum efficiency.
What is the best Power Bank for charging an iPad?
The best Power Bank depends on your iPad model, how you use it, and how much power you need on the go. Here’s what to look for:
Battery capacity
When shopping for a Power Bank, you’ll often see capacity measured in milliamp-hours (mAh). The higher the mAh capacity, the more power it can store. For iPads, it’s best to start at 10,000mAh (10K) and above.
Here’s a quick guide to help you choose:
- 10,000mAh Power Bank: Ideal for light users or short trips. Provides around one full iPad mini charge or two full iPhone charges.
- 20,000mAh Power Bank: Perfect for travel, study sessions, or creative projects. Expect up to two full iPad charges, depending on your model.
- High-capacity Power Bank (25,000mAh+): Best for professionals using iPad Pro or MacBook Air. These Power Banks offer up to 100W or more via USB-C PD, easily powering both laptops and tablets. Just remember, iPads only draw up to 35W, so charging speed will match your device’s maximum capability.
Wattage and Power Delivery
Look for PD support with at least 20W output to enable fast charging for iPad Air, iPad mini, and iPad Pro. Models like the New ChargePro and Thumboost deliver premium USB-C PD performance with fast-charging speeds and efficient energy management.
Ports and functionality
Opt for a Power Bank with multiple ports like USB-C and USB-A so you can charge your iPad, iPhone, and even Android devices together.
Some models even come with built-in cables or wireless charging functionality. Though iPads are yet to offer MagSafe compatibility, a magnetic Power Bank can still be very handy if you have an iPhone, Apple Watch, AirPods, or even a Samsung Galaxy phone. You can charge them all with just one Power Bank.
Portability
If you’re planning to fly soon or airport lounges have become your second home, get a Power Bank that you can carry on the plane with no fuss. Many of our iPad Power Banks are approved for carry-on in most airlines. But make sure to check with your specific airline before flying, as rules can vary.
Can I take an iPad Power Bank on a Plane?
It depends. Airline regulations allow Power Banks up to 27,000mAh (100Wh) in your hand luggage but not in checked baggage. Anything larger is typically off limits.
At Cygnett, we’ve got plenty of iPad Power Banks that are approved for carry-on. This includes our Thumboost, ChargeUp Boost, ChargePro Series, and more. Always check the battery specs printed on your Power Bank and confirm that it meets airline requirements before travelling. Also, keep in mind that airline regulations can vary, and they can change from time to time. So, make sure to check your airline’s latest policies before flying to avoid airport hassles.
For safety reasons, many airlines also prohibit the use of Power Banks during flights. So, while you can take certain types of Power Banks aboard, you can only use them upon landing. To keep your devices powered up the entire flight, make sure to charge them before boarding or leaving home.
