iPad Pro (M5) charging wattage
Apple lists 15W as required charger output in EU product information and 60W or higher for the advertised M5 iPad Pro fast-charge result.
What charger should you use?
For the simplest setup, choose a standards-compliant USB-C charger whose relevant port can provide at least 60W when you want to meet this preset’s fast-charge / supply reference, then use a cable rated for the same path capacity. A larger charger is normally fine with standards-compliant USB-C charging because the device negotiates what it uses.
What happens below the target?
The 15W minimum in this preset is manufacturer-published. Between that minimum and the 60W fast-charge / supply reference, the device may charge but not at the advertised fastest rate. Apple says M5 iPad Pro can reach about 50% in around 30 minutes with a compatible 60W or higher USB-C adapter. Actual device draw can be lower than the adapter rating.
Why the cable and port still matter
A charger brick's total rating does not guarantee the same power on every port. WattageFit compares the remaining shared charger budget, selected port limit, cable rating and preset target. The reported wattage is available path capacity — not a live measurement of what the device is actually drawing.
