While Optimised charging can be enabled/disabled on iPhone, an equivalent setting doesn’t exist for iOS/iPadOS for iPad.


iPad optimised charging for iPad is always active and will optimally charge the iPad battery - but differs from iPhone in that full charging to 100% is not delayed.


For iPad, charging may be limited to 80% charge when connected to its Power Adapter for extended periods - such as when used in Point of Sale (PoS) or kiosk applications.
