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 an iphone car charger be used safely with an ipad?

    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.

  • 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.

  • Can ipod car charger charge an iphone 3G s?

    Hi,
    I have a 2nd Gen (5 year old) iPod but the car charger i use for it i purchased just over a year ago. Can i use this charger to charge my iphone or will this hurt the iphone? Thanks!

    If it is a USB charger it will probably work. If it is Firewire it won't do any harm, but it won't work. You will get a message on the phone saying that the charger is not compatible.
    The nice thing about USB is that it is utterly standard; there are no voltage variations (as there are with Firewire); the charger will supply 5 v +- 0.5 v at 0.5 to 1 Amp. Period. It will also optionally supply a signal that the device can detect to verify that the current is sufficient to charge the device. The iPhone looks for this signal and will also alert you if the charger cannot charge the phone. So you can do no harm trying it. Worst that will happen is that it won't charge the phone.

  • Can ipad2 charger be used for iphone4s

    Can the new iPad2 charger be used safely for iPhone4s ?
    And can the iPhone4s charger be used for the new iPad2?
    And finally, who makes the best extra long cable to connect the chargers to the devices?

    The iPad charger is compatible with every mobile device that Apple makes. Look it up in the Apple Store.
    The iPhone charger will just charge the iPad, if the iPad is not being used. Really inadequate, as only half the power.
    The best supplier of a long cable is the one you find on the internet. Do not overlook the idea of a mains extension for a few pounds/dollars/whatever to move the charge closer to the device.

  • Can I use my standard car charger i got for iphone 4 with iPhone 5? if I just plug in the usb to lightning cable or will it damage the new iphone?

    The charger takes a usb cable, so I figure I could just plug in my usb to lightning cable and charge using my Saitek charger.  Does anyone know if this works?

    Did you get this to work?  Mine did not work when I plugged it into my at&t iphone car charger usb port.

    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).

    can an iphone 4 sim be used for iphone 5

    And it's not possible to cut down an existing SIM or micro-SIM. At least I've never seen a reliable report of anyone successfully doing so. You'll need to get a nano-SIM from your carrier for the iPhone 5.

  • 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.

  • 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).
