Best Chargers for iPad Mini 6 (2021) in 2024

(Last Updated On: January 18, 2024)

The iPad Mini has been updated with a modern design featuring edges that improve grip. It includes a power button with a fingerprint scanner and a side magnet for the Apple Pencil. Although its small size might not make it ideal for illustration work, the inclusion of the A15 Bionic chip enhances its capability.

Like higher-end models such as the iPad Pro and iPad Air, the iPad Mini 6 offers a consistent user interface experience. It is 5G capable, ensuring fast internet connectivity anywhere. The display is an Apple Liquid Retina LCD, offering superior quality compared to standard LCDs. A significant upgrade is the switch to a USB-C port, aligning it with most iOS devices, except the iPhone and Apple Watch.

The iPad Mini 6 (2021) supports USB-C Power Delivery, allowing for 18W fast charging. This guide focuses on chargers that can quickly charge the iPad Mini, maximizing the use of this powerful tablet.

UGREEN 30W Robot Charger

If you’re searching for a charger that is more on the minimal side, the UGREEN Robot charger is powerful and minimal, and it has a different design than most chargers because it looks like a robot. The robot design doesn’t do anything special power-wise, but the charger does have a smiling face during charging, which is pretty cool. On the charging side, the UGREEN robot charger has a single 30W Power Delivery USB-C port that can be used to fast charge your iPad Mini 6 (2021), and it can be used to fast charge most phones, tablets, and some laptops. If you have an iPhone with a Lightning port, you can charge your iPhone via a USB-C to Lightning cable.

However, you can use a USB-C to USB-C cable if you own an iPhone 15 or newer model. In my review of the UGREEN 30W Robot charger, I could fast charge my Note 9, and I could super fast charge my S20 because the charger features PPS.

VOLTME 35W 2 Port Charger

The VOLTME 35W 2 port charger may be a better option for charging your iPad Mini 6 because it has two USB-C ports. The max output of the charger during single-port charging is 35W, and 35W of Power Delivery is more than enough to fast charge your iPad Mini and can also be used for charging a select few USB-C laptops. In my review for the VOLTME 35W charger, I could only slow charge my Lenovo laptop, but a Macbook will be better at charging alone from the VOLTME charger.

Dual charging can still nearly fast charge the iPad Mini 6 on the VOLTME charger because when you’re charging two devices, the max output of the charger becomes 36W, and each USB-C port outputs 18W. So you can nearly fast charge your iPad Mini and fast charge another phone simultaneously. I could fast charge two phones simultaneously in my review of the VOLTME 35W charger.

UGREEN Nexode 45W 2 Port Charger

A slightly higher power bump over the VOLTME charger is the UGREEN Nexode 45W charger. The UGREEN 45W charger is one of the smallest, most powerful, well-balanced chargers I’ve ever used. Yes, you can use the total 45W of Power Delivery when charging one device at a time, and that can fast charge your iPad Mini; in my review of the UGREEN 45W charger, I could fast charge my Lenovo laptop when charging it alone. Also, during dual charging, I could still charge my Lenovo laptop and fast charge my Note 9

So, you can fast charge your iPad Mini 6, another tablet or phone, and even a laptop simultaneously because the power spit of the two USB-C ports becomes 25W and 20W. So it doesn’t matter if you charge one or two devices; the iPad Mini 6 can fast charge either way. Check out my video review of the UGREEN Nexode 45W 2 Port Charger for an in-depth analysis of its features.

Baseus 100W 4 Port Charger

If you’re searching for more of a universal charger, not only for charging your iPad Mini 6 but also for charging a laptop and other devices while you fast charge your iPad Mini, the Baseus 100W charger is a good option. The Baseus charger has two USB-C and two USB-A ports; you can use 100W of Power Delivery from USB-C 1 or USB-C 2 when charging one device at a time. However, what matters most is that when you’re charging four devices, the USB-C 2 port will output 20W, and that’s where you can fast charge your iPad Mini 6.

In my review of the Baseus 100W charger, I could charge my laptop and another three devices, including a power bank and two phones. The Baseus charger does come with a USB-C to USB-C cable in the box. Explore the versatility of the Baseus 100W 4 Port Charger in my video review.

ROMOSS PEA30 30,000mAh Power Bank

For portable power that you can take with you, the ROMOSS PEA30 power bank is a good choice. The ROMOSS power bank has a 30,000mAh battery that can charge the iPad Mini 6 to full power about two times or more, so you can use the power bank for a few days without recharging it. You can also fast charge the iPad Mini because the power bank has a 30W Power Delivery USB-C port that can be used to fast charge the iPad. The power bank also has two USB-A ports; however, in my review of the ROMOSS PEA30 power bank, fast charging from the USB-C port did not work when charging multiple devices. For a detailed look at the ROMOSS PEA30 Power Bank, watch my video review.

Baseus 65W 20,000mAh Power Bank

The Baseus 65W power bank is a better charger to fast charge your iPad Mini and other devices simultaneously. That’s because the Baseus 65W power bank has a single USB-C port and two USB-A ports; charging a single device results in the USB-C port outputting 65W,  two devices make the USB-C output 45W, and then if you’re charging three devices at the same time the USB-C  port outputs 20W. So you can still fast charge your iPad Mini via the USB-C port while charging another two devices.

The 20,000mAh battery capacity is a decent amount of power that lasts for a couple of days; in my review for the Baseus 65W power bank, I could recharge the power bank at 60W via the USB-C port.

iWalk LinkPod Mini Power Bank

The iWalk LinkPod power bank is a charger I recommend if you want emergency power for your iPad Mini because the iWalk power bank has a low 4,800mAh battery. The battery can give you a few hours of runtime for your iPad. The power bank also has a USB-C connector that can be directly plugged into the iPad and fast charged because the connector has a 20W Power Delivery charging speed. In my review of the iWalk LinkPod power bank, I could recharge it via its USB-C connector or the USB-C port on the power bank.

Final thoughts about my choice of Chargers for the iPad Mini (2021)

The iPad Mini 6 is a capable mini tablet from Apple. If you don’t mind owning an iPad on the smaller side, it’s a good choice, and if you’re worried about performance, you shouldn’t be. The A15 Bionic chip does a great job of providing snappy performance.
