iPad Pro Can the iPad Pro “Dual” Charge ?

[TheRealAlex]

So this just hit me. If you have the iPad Pro Magic Keyboard it can charge via the Magic Connector which takes power through the USB-C charge port on the left side. That still leaves open the iPad Pros main USB-C charge port on the right side. Question is will it “Fast” charge is its connected via both chargers simultaneously?

Well, is that even worth the effort?

I would think that there would be a cutout with internal circuitry taking the charge from one source only. Try it and tell us what happens ...

The USB‑C port for passthrough charging.

No, it will prefer the charge from the iPad usb-c port.

Smart connector charge is also SLOW. I’d only use it to charge if leaving iPad on magic keyboard overnight, or while working for a long time and trickle charge won’t bother me. Otherwise for a quick juice up, usb c port anyday.
