I have an Anker charger similar to this.
This is my go to travel charger also. Saves carrying multiple chargers. It also comes in four port and USB C versions. |

I have the newest Anker Powercore+ PD Battery and basically what happens is if the iPad is plugged into the battery, then the battery level will not drop. It will not go up either for that matter. I have used it for all day rehearsals with a 3 hour evening show with no problems at all.

I am slightly confused. The battery I highlighted in your post whose level doesn’t change is the iPad battery, not the Anker Powercore battery the iPad is plugged into, right? |

Yes, the iPad battery will not go down while plugged into the Anker.

Yep. Apple wall brick that came with my iphone recently. Lesson learned. At least they're not terribly expensive.
