too bad Apple is out of stock.


The mophie cable (for which you have provided a link) can be used to connect your iPad Air4 to a standard USB Power Adapter - however, the USB Power Adapter must be rated at 10-12W (i.e., 2.0-2.4A @5V) or greater to reliably charge an iPad.


Your iPad Air4 should have been supplied as standard with an Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter (together with a USB-C to USB-C cable) which is ideally suited to charge your iPad at its maximum supported rate.
