Full 5200mah power bank, can only charge up to 15% for my ipad 4. Not impressive at all.

My PB 5200Mah are fully charged, theoretically i would expect around 40% from my ipad 4 also, but to bad it doesn't happen that way. You guys can try it out and share whats the outcome.

No you can't expect that.

It's about the efficiency.

No powerbank in this world has 100% efficiency. Even the charging circuit on your iPad can't be 100% efficient. There must be power loss here and there. Besides that, you have to factor in that the USB output is at 5V voltage while battery is normally at 3.7V and max out at 4.2V.

I came across a formula before, the actually capacity you can actually get on your device is just around 70% of the max capacity. Can be less. You really can't expect 5200mAh powerbank to give you 5200mAh out of 11600mAh battery in the iPad 4. Besides that, is your iPad powered on? I believe yes. That is another factor too.

Powerbank is not an unlimited source of electricity unlike the power socket in your house.
Wow... Seriously? That will be interesting!

OK lets say 5200mAH, with 70% efficiency = 3640mAH. Then with Ipad power on, it reduce again 80% from 3640mAH = 2548mAH. So the max capacity for an Ipad to be charge up, are only up to around 22%. But still im getting less than that. Correct me if im wrong.

Next time, switch off ipad and then charge it using a recently charged full 5.2K pb, then see how it goes. No point guessing esp when we don't know what is running with ipad on.

That's why Ive been asking what sort of percentage you guys manage to charge up.
