I recently bought the iPad Air M3 and an iPhone 16e. Haven’t used the iPhone yet but use the iPad on a daily basis.
I noticed that the device tends to become hot sometimes. As a heavy user I often have it connected to the charger.

I own 2 Anker chargers. They both are NANO II. One is 65 W the other one 100 W (Anker 736). The 65 W is a backup I only use at thr hospital. The 100 W is my daily driver.

Now I am wondering if these chargers are safe to use? Also for the battery health?
I did notice Apple also sells a Belkin charger on its store and even Anker chargers of 150 W. But maybe changes were made? Do read something about ActiveShield but I know I can rely on your expertise.
