6 volt charging

Has anybody any suggestions how to charge a 6220 from a vehicle with a 6 volt electrical system?

Hi TTToth3,
As you will see from the article below, your 12w iPad charger is perfectly fine to use with your iPhone:

Is using a 12 volt charger bad for my iPhone 5?

Is using a 12 volt charger bad for my iPhone 5? I just purchased the iPad Air and it came with the same lightning cable that was included with my iPhone 5. The only difference is that the charger that came with my iPhone is a 10 volt and the one that came with my iPad Air is a 12 volt. I find it would be easier if I could just use one cable instead of two, but I'm afraid that the12 volt charger would mess up my iPhone. Can anyone help answer this question?

There is no problem using the iPad charger with the iPhone. I've been doing it for years because it's just easier. The iPhone will stop charging when it reaches capacity. If you look at the Apple Online Store, you'll see that the 12-volt charger they sell is listed as working for both iPhones and iPads.
Best of luck.

240 volt charger for ipod

Hello,
I have a 240 volt charger with a usb port on it that I use for my phone. It outputs 5.2 volts at 400ma.
Will this be okay to use for my ipod? A standard usb prt outputs 5 volts but I dont think the .2 volts more will matter? Or will it??

Plug it into the AC charger and Reset the iPod whileplugged in.

12 volt charging plug

I have an HP Laptop and would like to be able to plug it into a standard 12 volt DC outlet. I have checked several computer stores for this type of plug in device and no one has them. My sailboat has many 12 volt outlet receptacles connected to a large house battery bank. I've been told to look for an "air adapter", but I don't know what that is. Surely there must be a standard 12 volt plug.
Thanks

Hi,
Please try the following charger:

What volt charger should I get for my MacBook? It is a DC to AC inverter?

Hi, I recently purchased a inverter charger that has an outlet to charge a computer and can be used as a typical USB charger for a phone. The charger says that it has a continuous charge of 120V but a maximum of 150V. I don't understand what the problem is though because on the MacBook charger it says that it's intake is 100-240V and all of the other outputs and inputs match the specifications for the charging device. A normal phone charger that you can plug into the wall worked in this charger, so is it the computer or the charger? And also if it is the computer, what voltage amount should I get? Thank you very much!

Your Macbook charger will specify the number of watts it uses (very fine print somewhere on the charger brick). Your inverter MUST be able provide at least that much power, or I'm guessing your Macbook charger would have problems.

Car charger ?

Which is best for my Macbook, an inverter running off my socket in the rear of my Tucson marked 120w or a 12 volt charger. Anything made by Apple ? Bearing in mind we in South Africa get the ar** end of products and our Apple shops are a bit like Disneyland[ run by young clowns] Can I buy a good product on eBay? We run off 220volt here. Thanks all.

If the socket in your Tuscon is a regular electric outlet, you can plug your MacBook's charger into that with no worries. The power adaptor adapts the power flowing into the MacBook to be the right level.

What is the Charging time for 4th generation iPad when fully discharged?

Hi,
I just want to know the 4th generation iPad charging time with 12 volts Charger when fully discharged?
Thanks,
Srinivas

Apple does not publish charging times with various sources, but usually a few hours, like 4-6 hours. If you charge it overnight you won't notice how long it takes.

Can I use 24 volt to load my iphone5?

Can i use a 24 Volt charging point instead of 12 Volt to load my iPhone5??

It appears to be the same as this one:
https://uk.hama.com/00014118/hama-dual-piccolino-usb-vehicle-charger
"- Suitable for 12V car electrical systems, operates by plugging into the cigarette lighter socket"
So it is not correct. Keep looking for one that will accept a 24 V input.
This one should work:

"For use in cars, lorries and boats with 12V or 24V cigarette lighter socket"

Can't charge new iPod Touch from iPod hi-fi

When I plugged my new Touch (late 2009, I think they call it) into the charging dock of my Apple hi-fi, I got a message that the battery could not charge from this device. It played songs just fine. I plugged in my first-generation Touch to confirm that the Apple Hi-Fi could charge it, and it could.
I have other, older, charging docks (including a Bose Sound Dock) at various locations in my house, but haven't tried them yet. Is the new Touch unable to charge from such docks, or is it the Apple Hi-Fi specifically that is somehow incompatible with the the new Touch?

Perhaps I can explain this a bit more.
Originally, iPods charged using the "firewire" connections which are part of the Dock Connector. I believe the voltage used was 12 volts. Later iPods were charged using the USB 5 volt connections, which are also part of the Dock Connector, but I think those iPods could also be charged by either the USB or the firewire connections.
Several manufacturers of chargers/charging stations/Docks for iPods did not add the USB 5 volt charge feature, probably because they were saving money and missed the incredibly obvious - that Apple would one day drop the firewire charge feature.
That day has come; the latest iPods cannot be charged by the firewire connections, so if your Dock uses the firewire but not the USB, then it will not charge an iPod that only uses USB, such as the Touch. I have an eighteen month old Bose Sound Dock and it will not charge my iPod Touch. (I don't know if Bose have rectified this oversight yet.) I also have two Klipsch RoomGroove units. When the iPod Touch first came out, the Klipsch would not charge it. However, very quickly, Klipsch RoomGrooves disappeared from the shelves (here in the UK anyway) and when they reappeared, they did charge the Touch. I saw this happening and waited until the newer version of the Klipsch was available.
Now you may think that Apple were in some way wrong to stop the firewire charging but, think about this. Originally, the iPod's electronics and battery both required 12 volts to work. As technology improved, both the batteries and the electronics could be made to work reliably with only 5 volts, which happens to be the voltage used by USB connections. So if Apple now have a device that can be charged by the USB on your computer, they don't need to include a charger in with the iPod. So the iPods that charged by either firewire or USB were a case of Apple ensuring that old style Docks would continue to work. But that was not going to last forever.
There is no doubt in my mind that designers should have seen the firewire issue coming!

Static electric on the new iPad when charging

When I'm charging the new iPad, touching on the back cover will give static electric. Would it damage the device in long run?

Was gifted an Ipad missing an AC Adapter and cable. Bought new cable and adapter. Made the mistake of buying and using a 5 Volt adapter. Made the mistake of using the Ipad when it was being charged (plugged into the electric outlet). Made the mistake of returning and picking up the Ipad after walking across a rug. Blew out that 5 Volt adapter which no longer would charge another suitable (5 Volt correct) device. Bought 10 Volt adapter which would not charge my Ipad as well.
iOS devices charge of USB specification that means 5 Volts ONLY.
A 10 Volt charger would damage the device.
I believe you are confusing Watts & Volts.
Many USB chargers have a higher amperage (that means they can supply more current, not Volts). That translates to more Watts (overall power output).
It allows iPads to charge faster because they have more battery to fill.
The standard iPad charger is 10Watts (the spec isn't visible on Apple.com, so this is from external sources).
iPhones usually have chargers that supply 5Watts
The safest option…
Use an Apple charger that is rated for the device… as you can see Apple sell 5 Watt & 12 Watt supplies for iPads
http://store.apple.com/us/ipad/ipad-accessories/power (search for iPhone chargers etc).
None of this helps you speedgo, sorry. I don't know if static could cause issues. I would move it to another wall outlet, try other rooms - if it still happens take it to an Apple store & ask them for advice it may also happen at the store if the device or charger is faulty.

IPod will only charge using USB

hi, my ipod will not charge using a 110 or 12 volt charger, but will using USB - ideas? i restored and updated it.

If you are referring to the iPod Classic, it will only charge via the dock connector USB cable, either using a PC USB port or iPod wall charger. It also has a built-in safety circuit that will trip if the charging current goes above 1A at 5V.. So most 10W iPad charger will not work on the classic, unless it has a dual output port for lower current.
You can find these dual ports 10W iPad charger on eBay or Amazon.
Have a nice day!

IPod Classic Doesn't Charge in PC Port

This is my first post, so bear with me.
So, I'm at school, and a 4th grade teacher calls me down to her room. She said she had two broken iPods w/ chargers. She gave these to me, saying that I could keep one if I could fix them. She wasn't very good with technology, and I simply charged the iPods and they turned on and operated. Except for one. I can use the second iPod if it's plugged into the wall and stand for it, but If I plug it into my PC, it shows the Apple logo and quickly turns off. Both iPods are 1st Generation 40GB iPod Classics. It doesn't appear in the iTunes window, so I can't update/restore it. Any help?

...Funny thing is it is charging with a 12V Parrot car kit with dock connector.
So the 12v Parrot car kit is different to the 12v car charger then? Or is one of these items actually the 24v charger you referred to earlier?
A few points to note:
Any Apple charger should be okay. If the wall charger is non-Apple, make sure to check the rating.
Whatever the source, the output from the charger needs to be at least 500mA. This "output rating" should be writtten on the device somewhere, as 5v 500mA or similar. If the charger supplies only 300mA (a common rating) this will not charge an iPod Classic.
Car batteries supply 12 volts. So a car charger needs to change the 12 volts to 5 volts. Some old iPods could be charged with 12 volts and some (not so old) iPod models could be charged by either 12 or 5 volts. However, the voltage was supplied on a different "line" (or wire) into the iPod. So a charger that changes 12 volts to 5, but feeds the 5 volts on the 12 volt line, will not change an iPod. As far as I recall, no iPod Classic can be charged with 12 volts, all Classics use 5 volts. (See point 5 about the definition of a Classic.)
A 24 volt charger (to which you referred originally) would presumably be for a commercial vehicle. So a charger designed for 24 volt supply in, needs to step down (change the voltage) to 5 volts out.
Here's a major point: is your iPod actually a Classic, as defined by this article; http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353 ? If it is not either an 80GB, 120GB or 160GB iPod, then it is not a Classic. In that case, check with the article to correctly identify your iPod.
If your car charger has a plug-in lead, with a plug that can be turned around to supply the same voltage, but with opposite polarity, then you need to check that the lead is connected the correct way.

Ipod classic doesn't charge from 24Volt

MyiPod classis A1238 doen't charge from 24 Volt and from wall charger. It does from USB connected to my iMac.
What could be wrong?
All original cables. exchanging checked cables doesn't work either.

Listen and charge your shuffle in a car

please do something about it,
why there always has to be some issue with the mac products?
is it too much to ask to be able to charge your ipod and listen to it at the same time?
what were the the designers thinking when they made the 2nd generation.
please give another 2.5mm connector or make a useable splitter(since there isn't one available yet).
my car is full of cables and plugging and unplugging them does not seem to be in line with the apple's "uncluttered" design concept.
things like this is what ruins apple's reputation.
another thing,
i have an mac air and no way to connect it to wired internet ethernet cable if wireless in not available. ehm.
thanks

Hi Ari & Shuffiej,
I'm working on a design for integrating the shuffle for automotive use. It's important to be able to charge (5-volts via a linear voltage regulator) and play analog audio at the same time (via 3.5mm male plug). Do either of you know if the audio out circuits and the 5-volt charging circuit can be utilized simultaniusly. (I can have a plug specially made to physically work but don't know if the circuitry within the shuffle will allow this)
Given that Griffin Technology makes an iPod dock adapter for the shuffle
with a switch for "play" or "charge", I'd be pretty safe in guessing that
the audio and charging circuit can NOT be used simultaneously...

Charging MacBook Air

I have solar power at our bush block. Can I charge my 13 inch MacBook Air with a 12 volt charger? If yes, do I need a special charger?

Yes. You can use it while charging and leave the cord attached once charged.
