My wife does graphic design on her ipad pro and it frequently runs out of power. There's nothing wrong with battery it's just that she uses a lot of procreate on it and it sucks the battery dry.
I'm looking for a fast-charger of some sorts that'll get her back up and running with minimal wait.
Wired is preferred but wireless (battery pack) would work too.
Some ideas from some listings for wired and wireless.

Would love to hear some suggestions!
Thanks

PS...USB-C, by the way.

Which iPad Pro does she have? I believe the new M4 iPPs top out at 36-39W charging if you have the right PD-charging brick / cable, and it’s <80% charged.

So the 65W one will be more than sufficient, and also give you some additional wiggle room to use the charging brick for higher-power devices (eg. Macbooks). However, if you won’t be using it for anything more high-powered, you could 1) save money, and 2) get a smaller, more portable brick, and get a 35W - 45W brick.

I’ve got a great travel-friendly GaN 35W Belkin charger that’s ultra-slim and very portable that I picked up last year, that I use for iPhone / iPad / Apple Watch.

My 12.9-inch iPad Pro M1 can charge at 35-37.5W. It’s 2.4-2.5A with 15V. My Magic Keyboard only can charge with 9V. But the new one is better, I’ve seen.
If newer iPads not charge with 20V like laptops, which I do not believe, 35W is sufficient.

Any GaN charger from the likes of UGreen, Anker, Belkin will do a fantastic job. I also recommend VoltMe, they also make high quality GaN chargers at a lower price.
