can an iphone car charger be used safely with an ipad?

Safely? Yes. Effectively? Probably not. iPhones use 5W chargers. iPads need 10@ chargers. Unless the charger you have is rated for both devices, it will only charge the iPad if the screen is off and then only very slowly.

  • HT1665 Can iPhone car charger be used for latest iPad?

    Can iPhone car charger be used for new iPad?

    Probably not. The iPhone charger is 5W whereas the iPad requires a 10W charger. The iPhone car charger will probable charge the iPad, but very slowly.
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

  • Can my iphone car charger charge the iPad?

    I have a car charger for my iPhone. Is it safe to use that for the iPad?

    The normal iPod/iPhone car chargers output 1amp The iPad needs 2Amp to charge normally
    If you have a " cigarette lighter" power  socket several manufacturers supply inserts with a 2.1amp USB outlet
    for instance the Griffin Powerbolt and Kensington also do one

  • Can an iphone wall charger be used to charge an ipod touch 4g?

    Hi all,
    I am sorry if this question already has been asked but I seem not to find it. I've got an ipod touch 4G and want to use my 3gs iphone wall charger to charge it. Will that be ok? Thanks in advance.

  • Can a canon pixma MG6120 be used wirelessly with an ipad 3

    Apologies if this is a naive question, but I'm totally new to the iPad / Apple environment & am having a hard time finding out a) if my new iPad 3 (Wi-Fi & 3G) will connect with My Canon Pixma MG6120 printer that is set up with my PC desktop computer; &, if it will - b) where can a decidedly non-techie AOP find simple step-by-step instructions to walk me through the procedure?

    Below are some of the Apps which would support printing for non-Airprint support printers.
    I have used ePrint, is quiet ok. But still using third party app is a pain
    Air Sharing HD
    ePrint
    PrintCentral for iPad

  • Can u charge an ipad using an iphone car charger

    Can an iPhone car charger be used to charge an iPad2?

    Although some direct USB connections will charge the iPad very slowly (very likely even my Acura) it is typically not enough for the "lightning" symbol to even show up on the battery icon on the iPad.  The iPhone car charge is not different and when plugged in, my symbol does not change.  In addition, if you are actually using the iPad at the same time, you'll drain it much faster than the base USB will ever charge it.  I'd buy one made specifically to charge the iPad and then as Chris states you can use it on both without worry.  Like killing two birds with one stone.

  • Will a iPhone car charger work with iPad 2

    Can a iPhone car charge a iPad or not? I'm using a DC/USB car adapter but when i plug it in it said Not Charging.

    It will give that message but if you turn the iPad off (it won't charge if it is working) and give it about 8 hours it will charge despite that message.
    You'd be far better off investing in a car charger designed for the iPad and you can also use it with your iPhone.

  • Can Jabra Cruiser 2 USB car-charger be used to charge iPhone 4S?

    Can Jabra Cruiser 2 USB car-charger be used to charge iPhone 4S?

    I understand that Apple has made an adapter so that any standard micro-USB charger will work to charge their devices.  However, these are only available in Europe (their WEEE standards call for reduced electronics waste).

  • Ipod / iPhone car charger

    What is the difference (if any) between the iPod & iPhone car charger?
    When I plug my iPod car charger into my iPhone the alert +'This accessory is not made to work with iPhone. Do you want to turn on Airplane Mode?+
    I have not tried to actually connect it to the car charger as yet and would appreciate any ideas or experience of same.

    You can safely ignore that message (and not use Airplane Mode). It just means the accessory is not shielded against cell phone signals (i.e. you may get some static on your car radio).

  • Iphone car charger once again not charging. Second one and they are not cheap from the apple store.Any else have these problems?

    My Iphone car charger is not charging again. This is the second one I have bought from the Apple store and they are not cheap anyone else have problems?

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

  • Can I unlock my Droid Charge and use it with a sim card in India?

    How can I unlock my Droid Charge and use it with a sim card in India?

    You just have to call VZW Global TS and as long as you meet all of the requirments you will be able to unlock your phone.
    Must be a Verizon Wireless customer.
    The device being unlocked must be active on a VZW line of service.
    The line of service must be active for at least 60 days.
    For converted accounts from acquisitions or mergers (i.e. Alltel, Unicel/RCC, etc.), the line of service must be active in the VZW billing system for 60 days from the conversion date.
      The line of service must be in good standing for the past 60 days.  Good Standing is defined as:
    Balance must be current 
    No service suspensions or hotlines in the past 60 days.
    Customer may only have one 3G SIM unlock per line every 10 months.
    The customer's manufacturer's device warranty is not affected by a 3G SIM unlock as long as the customer remains with VZW.
