Inbound to ZZZ. Both First Officer and I [had] our iPads plugged using company cords. Neither iPad would charge. I am told they are trickle charges and low amperage. We fly three legs today and the company iPad batteries won't make it. Why is the company removing paper charts if we can't keep our iPads charged?
B737 Captain reported both flight deck iPads would not charge using company cords. Captain questions company decision to remove paper charts.
