From my experiences with the same problem, I can tell you that it seems to only happen when the transformer is running on a modified sine-wave.
What do you mean by that?  A "dirty" source of power where there are a lot of transients on the AC line?

    Can I use the iPhone when is he charging?

    Andy, I'd like to know where you got that information, [citation/source needed]
    Whenver you see the plug symbol on the iPhone, it means its running on external power.
    Some datacenters use this method/always-on UPS, (AC power charges the battery bank, datacenter is connected to the other end of the battery) If there is any interruption in mainline power, the system stays up while the generator warms up.
    Do they have any battery degradation issues? Nope.
    Apple designed the iPhone to handle multiple methods of charging and discharging events.
    Remember, when new on the forums, whenever/wherever you post, people are trusting the information you provide, if its inaccurate, out-of-date, etc, you might want to do some research and learning about new technology.

  • Can i use my iphone 5 charger for the ipad air

    Can I use my iphone 5 charger for the ipad air?

    It's really not recommended. The iPhone's 5w charger does not output enough current to properly charge the battery. It -may- charge but if it did, it would charge the iPad very slowly.
    This would be like trying to fill a bucket of water (iPad) with a squirt gun (5w charger)
    Also under iOS 7, the charging requirements are much stricter than iOS 6. You'll likey get an error message if you try.

  • Can i use the iphone 4 charger to charge my ipad 2?

    Can I use my Iphone 4 charger to charge my Ipad 2?

    Nothing will be ruined by offering less power. Options for charging given in the documentations include USB sockets on your computer, which only offer half of the power of the iPhone charger. Any method of charging will work, differing only in how long it will take.

  • Can I use an iPhone 5 charger for charging my iPod, 5th generation

    Hello to all!
    I'm finding it inconvenient to charge up my iPod touch 5th generation: this product is shipped with only a Lightning connector-USB cable but has no power adapter. My Mac does have 4 USB ports but most of the time they are used to connect to my external hard drives. I wish to know whether I can use the chargers of my iPhone 5 or iPad mini 2 to have my iPod charged.
    Thanks in advance!
    Dr. Somanna

    Thanks for your information!
    Was unsure of this and did not want to take the risk of experimenting!
    Regards and take care.

  • Can you use a Iphone 3GS charger with an ipad2?

    I don't want to damage my new iPad that I bought over in the US that obviously came with a American charger!

    i've tried various ones but i will have to admit they were 3rd party dock cables.. like energizer and i could never seem to get them to attach to my iphone 4, so i gave up. im pretty sure when the iphone 4 came out they did away with the little tabs on the side that you depress to attach or let go of the cable and i assumed it was these tabs that prevented energizer's brand of dock cable from staying put. ill try again i guess. i've tried like 3 different models and none of them seemed
    to fit and i don't want to force it

  • Can i use my iphone while its charging for the first time

    i just got the iphone 6. when i turned it on for the first time it had like half battery, i let it fully die and now im charging it for the first time. can i use it while its charging? every phone ive ever had had such a crappy battery life. i wanna finally have a good battery! lol

    Hi. Sure, you can use your iPhone when charging (but not always) . Just release your battery under 10% and recharge to 100% once a month, it can be helpful for battery life.
    That is actually not considered best practice. Lithium ion batteries should be kept topped up when possible. That was previously recommended to calibrate the battery sensor. It never had any effect on the overall life of the battery.

    iPhone, iPad, iPod: Using iPad Power Adapters
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4327
    You can use the iPad mini charger to charge the iPhone 5C, but not recommended the other way around.
    The article below explains that the iPhone charger is meant to charge only iPhones and 1st generation iPad mini.
    iPad: Charging the battery
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4060
    To charge your iPad battery, try one of these:
    Connect iPad to a power outlet using the included cable and USB power adapter (use the table below to determine which adapter is intended for your iPad.)
    Connect to a high-power USB 2.0 port using the included cable.
    Note: Some USB 2.0 ports and accessories do not provide enough power to charge iPad. When this occurs the message "Not Charging" appears in the status bar next to the battery icon.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Happy Holidays!

  • HT1665 Am i able to use my iPhone 5 charger in Philippines

    Sure. iPhone chargers are multi voltage capable (100-240 volts). You will simply need a plug adapter for the outlets where you travel.

  • Can I use my iPad when it is charging

    Can I use my iPad when it is charging without hurting the battery?

    Sure, but it won't charge as fast.
    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.
