What is the right charger for old iPad models?

[Dhruv-Taara]

I found my old iPad during house cleaning. I wanna hear it sing. Is its charger still available in the market?

Older iPad models typically use a 30-pin connector with a 10W or 12W USB power adapter. Ensure compatibility by checking your iPad’s model and using Apple-certified chargers.

Old iPad models (pre-2012) use the 30-pin connector and require a 10W or 12W USB power adapter. Models from 2012 onward typically use the Lightning connector. Ensure compatibility by checking your iPad’s model number. Use Apple-certified chargers to prevent damage and ensure safe, efficient charging for older devices.

Older iPad models have a 30-pin or a Lightning port. iPads of 2010 to 2012 (iPad 13) are required to have a 30-pin cable, and must be connected to a 10W charger and subsequent iPad (iPad 2012 on-up/ iPad 14) are commonly supplied with a Lightning cable, and it can be operated by a 10W or 12W USB adapter. One should always use Apple certified chargers.

These include:

• iPad 4th generation
• iPad Air (1st gen)
• iPad mini 2–5
• iPad (5th–7th gen)

Older iPad models typically use a 30-pin connector and require a 10W or 12W USB power adapter. Make sure to use an Apple-certified charger to ensure safe and efficient charging. Newer chargers with a Lightning connector won’t fit older iPads unless you use a compatible adapter.

For older iPads, you’ll likely need a 30-pin charger or the first-generation Lightning cable, depending on the model. These are still available online or at electronics stores.

For older iPads, use the original 10W or 12W USB-A charger with the correct connector (30-pin or Lightning). Higher-wattage USB-C chargers (18W, 20W) are safe — the iPad draws only what it needs.
