Can I charge iPad in car

Just got an iPad. Can I charge it in the car with a Belkin Micro charger. It has 100mA on packet ?

100mA is only one fifth of what you get from a USB port, which will only charge the iPad if the screen is off. And that is only half of the power of the wall charger. I would suspect 100mA would be near as to totally ineffective.

Can I charge iPad 4 with my iPhone 4s charger but use iPad 4 USB cable

Can I charge my iPad 4 with iPhone 4s charger while using ipad4 USB cable

You can use the iPad charger to charge the iPhone, and it will charge the iPhone faster.

Can only charge ipad 4 with electrical outlet try to charge via a computer with USB or a fax machine nothing please he

Cannot charge ipad 4 buy using the cable provided with purchase. Only way of charging is via electrical outlet. Can someone please advise

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) 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 (2.5W, 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
http://www.macblend.com/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 you charge ipad in other laptop brands aside from Mac

Can you charge your iPad if it's connected to a different brand of laptop aside from mac

Yes, just like the millions of iPods and iPhones bought and used by Windows users.
There is one issue, though, and that is the iPad requires more wattage than iPods and iPhones. Some USB ports on PCs and Macs and some USB hubs may not provide enough power to charge. But they will sync, and they might charge when the iPad is off.
Here is more information about iPad power requirements:

Can i charge ipad with kindle usb plug

my ipad is almost out of juice -- I have a kindle here with a usb-plug and electrical-socket thingy similar to the iPad's. Can I use that?
Thanks
Bob

You can try but it may not work since the current the Kindle charger can supply is probably not enough to charge the iPad. The supplied charger is 2 amps. I tried a Kindle charger on mine and it did not work, even when the iPad was sleeping.

HT4060 Can you charge IPad on universal USB charger with USB to iPad charging wire? Seems to work. Very slowly however

iPad charges very slowly with universal USB adapter and iPad wire. Is this normal?
Is this safe?

Ahh thats a shame, I knew it seemed to easy.
So does that mean you can simply transfer videos from the external hard drive to ipad? Do you need a wifi connection for that or can the ipad sync straight to the hard drive without that?
No first hand experience with them, but my understanding is that the HDs have a WiFi transmitter built in. You stream the content directly from it, probably using an app.

Why can I charge me iphone with my car's usb port but not my ipad?

Why can I charge my Iphone in my car using USB connection but not my Ipad?

Because the iPad requires a lot more power to charge than your iPhone, and typically car and computer USB ports simply don't proivide that much.
Its the same reason your iPhone comes with a 5Watt charger (and even then the iPhone only uses part of that) while the iPads come with the 10 or 12 watt charger.
They just need more power.

Can't get ipad to charge in car ups port

Can't get ipad to charge in ups port in car all other phone and others charge

ups port? You mean USB?
USB ports do not provide enough power to charge iPads. iPhones and other smaller devices need less power so can charge.
If your car has a cigarette lighter port you can get an adapter for it to charge the iPad. Those put out more power than the USB ports.

Can I purchase an Apple Care extended warranty for an iPad Air if I purchase it at Best Buy?

CAn I buy an Apple Care extended warranty for an iPad Air if I purchase it at Best Buy?

For me? Buying from best buy was my only option since the closest apple store is over an hour away. (and technically in another state)
Also, when I bought my iPod the warranty that Best Buy offered was far more comprehensive than Apple Care with accidental damage protection for up to 3 years.
And, when my iPad's charging port messed up, I took it into Best Buy and they swapped me out for a new one while at an Apple store I likely would have gotten a refurb.
When I swapped out my iPod 4 for my iPod 5 I took it into best buy, got $70 towards the purchase of the new device by trading in the old one.
Best Buy isn't perfect and not every store is a good one, but they are a good alternative or other option to explore for those buying devices.
I think my biggest beef when buying my iPad and later iPod at Best Buy is when I bought my iPad I bought the screen protector and they wanted to charge me to apply it...and it kinda rankled for me to be plunking down over $600 dollars to have them want to charge me $15 for a screen protector install.

Charging iPad in the car

Can I use the iPhone auto charger to charge my iPad?

Yes, but you may find that it charges very slowly. An iPhone charger usually only puts out 5w/1amp, whereas a charger for an iPad puts out 10w/2.1amps. If you find that the iPad does not charge fast enough, then get a charger for the iPad. Most modern chargers will put out what the device asks for, but cannot put out more than the capacity for which it was designed. So an older charger only designed to charge an iPhone may only put out 5v, but a newer charger designed for the iPad can usually charge either device. There are also some that can charge both at once;

Can i charge iphone 4s with uk wall ipad charger?

Also , if i can how about charging the ipad in the car,

The iPad charger can provide up to 10 watts, but it does not push it allows the device to draw, so it is safe to charge your iPhone, which draws 5 watts, with the iPad's charger.
In the car you would want to use a charger that can provide the iPad 10 watts or else it will charge extremely slowly. There are a few 3rd party developers that have new car chargers with a USB port for both an iPhone at 5 watts and for the iPad at 10 watts.

Charging Ipad 2 in my car

Can I charge my Ipad 2 with the same CAR charger I use in my car for my Iphone 4?

Yes, but it will charge slower if the charger is not a full 10 watt charger.
It'll charge best if sleeping.
And another important tip, if the car is in the hot sun all day, you may want to NOT leave the ipad in there.
I am sure some people do with no adverse affects, but I don't recommend it.

Can't charge Lumia 920 via usb in car

I can't charge my Lumia 920 via usb in the car. There is nothing wrong with the cable, and I've also tried several other cables. There is nothing wrong with the car either, because it works fine on my boyfriends phone (Samsung Galaxy). It also works on my old HTC Desire.
And it also works to charge my Lumia 920 via usb on my laptop, so there's nothing wrong with my phone either.
Any suggestions??

As not a Nokia accessory it could not be recommended in case of warranty issues, but if Lumia 920 running Drive draws more current than 750mA that CR-200 supplies http://www.nokia.com/gb-en/phones/phone/cr-200/specifications/ then use of an iPad car charger in accessory socket delivering 2.1 Amp should manage to net charge device battery whilst it is consuming >1 Amp in Drive mode.
