Can i use new ipad charger for ipad 2 and vise versa

I have ipad 2 and i bought new ipad for my dad. Both ipads charge quickly with ipad2 charger as compare to new ipad charger.
So, my question is.. Is it okay to use new ipad charger for ipad 2 and vise versa...???

The iPad 1, iPad 2 and new iPad all use the same 10W charger.
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%.
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. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html
Also, if you have a 3rd generation iPad, look at

    what can I use my Droid Charge for, after I upgrade to the new Samsung Galaxy S2 for Verizon on September 8?
    I guess it can run fine on Wi-Fi and become a media player.... or is there a market for 1-month-old Droid Charge phones?
    How much trade-in value can I get from VZW or BestBuy or Amazon?
    Thanks!

  • Can I use the car charger for my 3gs on my iphone 4?

    Can I use the car charger for my 3gs that i bough in the att store on my iphone 4?

    With the 3GS Apple dropped support for charging over the firwire pin on the dock connector. Some older chargers will only supply power over the firewire pin, and thus will not work. There are adapters that will fix this, here's one example:

  • Can I use higher watt charger for my ipad?

    My ipad came with 10w charger. the ipad takes 4 hours for 100% charge. Can I use higher watt charger to charge my ipad. Will it void the warranty?
    and I can i use my ipad while charging?

    Hi Gyanam,
    A higher watt charger will not charge your iPad any faster, but it will also not harm it in any way. So, yes, you can use a higher watt charger. And yes, you can use your device while it is charging.

  • Can we use IDOC_INPUT_ Message type for creating and changing the document

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to create or change the requisition data.
    Can I use IDOC_INPUT_PREQCR01 function module for both the purpose.
    OR shall I go for custom function module by using BAPI function modules to create or change the data.
    Please help me in this regarding.
    Answers will be rewarded.
    Thank you.
    Eswar

    Hello Eswar
    You could use the IDoc processing function module if you had the data already available in the IDoc specific format (which is unlikely). This would mean you are receiving the IDoc data from another SAP system.
    Instead, check the BAPI explorer (transaction BAPI) if you can find an appropriate BAPI.

  • Can we use ODI with Informatica for Planning and Essbase

    If we have Informatica datawarehouse, can I use ODI to integrate with Essbase and Planning ? Or do we need to buy informatica adapters for essbase/planning ?

    Thank you John, for your response. We are accessing our options as to which way to go. We dont have licenses for ODI for Essbase or Planning. We have informatica expertise we would like to use them. The confusion is should we buy the adapters for informatica or licenses for ODI. I understand having ODI with Informatica would add an additional integration layer.

  • Using iPhote Keywords with PS Elements and visa-versa

    Howdy,
    Does anyone know if you can xfer (import/export) iPhoto keywords to PS Elements 4 or Photo Bridge and visa-versa?
    Or do you have to create a new Keyword list with Photo Bridge and PS Elements 4

    MV:
    You can use iView MediaPro in the Demo mode to catalog your iPhoto LIbrary and then sync (write) the keywords back to the original file. That will permit other applications to read those annotations in the source file. Check out Tutorial #1 here. The methodology is there to do what you want even though it's geared for a different issue.

    You may be having problems with your battery. However, they were not caused by using your iPad charger. The iPad charger is compatible with the iPhone and can safely be used with it. If your phone is less than a year old, you may want to take it to your nearest Apple Store and have them take a look at it. If the battery is not functioning correctly, they will replace it for you.

  • Can I use the Garageband app for iPad to create a new ringtone for my iPhone 4?

    I want to create new ringtones for my iPhone, and consulting Support, they explain how to do that using Garageband 9.0, but I want to know if the Garageband app for iPad can be used to do the same thing or not. The iPad uses iOS 4.3.3.

    Would you be composing the ringtone in garageband or taking existing material and editing it? You could create something but then you would have to send to iTunes and format it as a ringtone there I believe
