HT202105 I charged my Ipad mini 3 with a 5W adapter. Is my battery screwed?

SO I charged my Ipad mini 3 with a 5W adater instead of the 10W it came with because I didn't notice. About 5-10 times fully charged. what I wanna know is if my battery is already damaged?

Oh thank you. I was kinda scared since I read somewhere it might get damaged. Something about a trickle charge.

    Yes you can. The power supply units work with voltages from 100 - 240 Volts AC. You may need an adapter to fit the American style outlets.

  • If i use 12W charger to charge my ipad mini, is that will cause battery failure after charging?

    this is because the original 5w charger is damm rubbish, everytime charging it also will stop for few min to cool down charger and recharge back for few times due to overheat problem. why the apple inc dun directly change a 12w charger in fact of the 5w charger got problem?

    I have no idea what you are referring to. If you have a new iPad, then it uses a 12w adaptor. If you have an iPad 3rd gen earlier, it uses a 10w adaptor. iPad Mini uses a 5w adaptor as do iPhones.
    The cost of the adaptor is irrelevant. The devices dictate what wattage adaptor you need to charge them. From Apple:
    iPad models come with one of two different adapters. iPad (third generation) and earlier comes with a 10W adapter while iPad (4th generation) comes with a 12W adapter. iPad mini comes with a 5W adapter.

  • Is it safe to charge an iPad mini with a 2amp charger?

    Is it safe for me to charge my iPad mini with a 2amp charger.

    I charge my iPad mini and iphone off 2a chargers. In Australia, you cannot buy USB wall chargers less than 12w (iphones, ipad minis, and ipods use 5w). I have experienced no dramas, and neither have any of the customers ive sold 12W chargers too. I say its absolutely fine, but if you wish not to, you can charge it via usb to the computer. Hope this helps!

  • Which output put  should i use with my external battery to charge my ipad mini?

    Hi,
    I just bought an external battery (anker astro 2) and it comes with two output ports 1A and 2A. Which port should i use to safely charger my ipad mini?

    Either one will work just fine.  Circuitry in the iPad controls how much actual current is going to the battery.  The 2A port will take less time to fully charge the battery.

  • Does the IPAD mini come with, or have an optional, adaptor for charging from the cigarette lighter in the car?

    Does the IPAD mini come with, or have an optional, cigarette lighter adaptor for charging?

    Thanks much for the links, Johnathan.  I am going to be spending this summer kayaking in SE Alaska working with a conservation group out of Sitka, measuring data from remote wilderness areas.  I found a human powered 12v charger made by Freeplay Energy that utilizes a common cigarette lighter plug in.  With one of the adaptors you have identified for me I should be able to crank power into a mini in the middle of nowhere.
    I had hoped I could download the free Sirius XM app and receive satellite radio in addition to other mini uses, but Sirius informs me they don't cover SE Alaska, but could still receive broadcasts whenever I'm in one of the Sitka harbors that provide wifi, i.e. internet radio.
    If any other helpful takes on my situation occur to you be assured I'm all ears.
    Thanks again.

  • I get home after buying my ipad mini play with it for a bit then try to sync my songs, movies and photos on and it syncs fine. I then look back at the ipad and seem to find on the top right saying " not charging "

    I get home after buying my ipad mini play with it for a bit then try to sync my songs, movies and photos on and it syncs fine. I then look back at the ipad and seem to find on the top right saying " not charging ". I read other forms and people also struggeling with the same problem. My computer dose'nt have enough power. There must be another way for me to get to charge my ipad mini from my computer. It works fine charging it in an outlet. any ideas??!

    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 i use an iphone5 charger to charge an ipad mini?

    can i use an iphone5 charger to charge an ipad mini?

    You resurrected a 2 month old thread to say its not possible?
    What is not possible exactly?
    Because clearly charging an iPad mini with an iPhone 5 charger is totally possible.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD810LL/A/apple-5w-usb-power-adapter?fnode=48
    That's the charger that ships with an iPhone 5, check the compatibility at the bottom of that page. It includes the iPad Mini.

    I use the i-Blason Cushion Sleeve. The iPad Mini fits great and there is a little zipper pouch for a charger and stylus. 

  • Kindle charger on Ipad Mini

    I have chargers for a Kindle and an iPad Mini. In both cases the transformers are built in to the mains plug and both have identical usb outlet ports to connect via a lead to the devices.
    The mains plug of the Kindle charger delivers 5 volts 0.85amp = 4.25watts. The iPad mini equivalent delivers an output of 5 volts 1.0 amp = 5 watts.
    If I put the iPad Mini usb charger lead in the Kindle mains plug and tried to charge my iPad mini with it at 5 volts 0.85amp = 4.25watts, would this cause any problems to the iPad Mini?
    Likewise, could I use the iPad mains plug and the kindle lead to charge the Kindle at 5 volts 1.0 amp = 5 watts, would this cause any problem to the kindle?

    Either will charge either. All compliant USB chargers should be interchangeable to the extent that they'll work to charge things. It's just a question of how long they take.  I'm not sure about Minis, but the charger that comes with an iPad is 12W, which will charge it faster, but a 5W one will work. too.

  • Can I charge my iPad mini and/or my iPhone 4S from 220 volt outlets using just the correct plug adapter for the country.

    Can I charge my iPad mini and/or my iPhone 4S from 220 volt outlets using just the correct plug adapter for the country, without a power converter?

    Not staff or owner by a long shot.
    I just know that anecdotally I have seen people reporting issues with their mini's charging. Is there a real issue or not? I don't know. Not a day goes by that a person doesn't post here complaining that their iPad won't charge and it turns out that they're trying to do it via USB or with the iPhone block.
    But while there are a lot of user fixes sometimes it's good to have the pros take a look at things,and at the very least document that there has been an issue.
    the four main reasons an iPad won't charge (beyond being plugged into a USB port)
    Bad cable
    bad outlet
    bad brick
    rule those out and it leaves issue with the iPad.
