Ipad 2 charger for iphone 4

Can I charge my iphone 4 with ipad2 charger? Can it be harmful?

Yes. iPad chargers can charge iPhones and are designed to reduce the flow of power when the device is fully charged.
Actually, to be correct, electronic devices reduce the flow of current they pull.
The charger does not reduce the flow based on how much the iPhone is charged. The iPhone does.

  • Using iPad charger for iPhone?

    Hi
    I've always assued it was okay to use the chargers that came with my iPad and iPhone interchangeably.  However, I was speaking to someone in a retail store and they were saying that I should onlyi use the iPhone charger for the iPhone and same with iPad as it could impact the battery over time if I mix and match.
    I've even used my iPad charger for my old Nano when I wasn't charging it through my computer.
    I know there was a previous discussion on this a couple years back but I was curious if there were any updated opinions on this.
    Thanks!

    You can ignore that advice, as whoever you talked to doesn't know what they're talking about. You can use the iPad charger with your iPhone, just fine. Read here:

    The 5W iPhone charger will charge the full size iPad, but only being 5W's, the pace will be glacier.

  • IPad Charger for iPhone?

    I know I can't use my iPhone charger for my iPad, but if I use my iPad charger for my iPhone, willy phone charge faster?

    I am probably wrong, I know we can mix/change current (mah.) to charge a device faster or slower, i.e. 700 mah would charge slower than 1000 mah keeping the same voltage, but I wouldn't charge an Iphone which works with 5W thinking it would charge faster using a 10W charger. I never tried before but normally doubleing the voltage would fry the power regulator in any device.

    If you are seldom in a Wi-Fi Network Area, then you can turn off Wi-Fi until you knowingly are in such a Network Area.  You can go through your Applications where you don't really need to know the instant an Update is available and turn off the push update notifications.  You can turn down the screen brightness.  You can set the sleep cycle to 1-min.  You could set your email to check for new messages every 30-min. rather than less than 1 min.  Just some of many steps available.

  • I have charged my iphone with an ipad charger for about 4 months

    I have charged my iphone with and ipad charger for about 4 months. On the bright side I always unplug my phone when it gets to a 100%
    How much can my iphone's battery life be affected? The battery still works but less than when I just bought it, I don't know if it is because of the time I have been using the phone or because of the ipad's charger.

    You will do no harm using the iPad charger
    Apple give the iPad 12W charger compaitbility with ALL the iOS devices back to early iPods in fact the 4th generation a long way back
    You have nothing to fear

    Using an iPad charger will not hurt your phone or the SIM. Contact your carrier for a new SIM.

    When i use my iPad charger for my iPhone, iPhone Is damaged?

    it is highly unlikely that an iPad charger can cause damage to an iPhone - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4327. I have personally charged my 3GS with an iPad charger many times without any problem.

    Yuppers, but you just can't do it in reverse since an iphone charger won't put out enough juice to effectively charge an ipad

    My iPad charges for a minute or so then it stops... I reconnect the charger, it still continues doing the same thing... Any way out pls....

    Hello there, batulububa.
    The following Knowledge Base article although written for iPhone can be used in troubleshooting your iPad battery issue:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Specifically the following:
    Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter
    Important: Only original iPhone can be charged from a FireWire-based power source. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the battery may drain.
    Verify that the outlet being used is working.
    Try another USB power adapter if available.
    If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
    Try another USB cable if available.
    Also refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro D.

  • Will rapid charging hmm from 12watt charger for iphone 6 defect the battery??

    guys I need help with charging with 12 watt charger for iPhone 6,will it defect battery??

    Courcoul wrote:
    Yeah, you can use a higher-powered iPad charger with the iPhone (any model). There will be no gain in how fast it  charges, since that rate is controlled by the phone and not the charger. The iPhones and iPods draw the standard 0.5A charging current from whatever charger is used.
    This was true up to the iPhone 6. However, the charging circuit in the iPhone 6 and 6+ can charge at a higher rate - 1.5 amps (7.5 watts) vs 1 amp (5 watts) for earlier models. 0.5 amps is the minimum required to charge any iPhone, however, all iPhones will charge faster with a 1 amp or higher adapter.
    So using an iPad charger will cut the charging time to full charge by about 1/3.

  • Ipad charger vs iphone charger

    will using the 10volt ipad charger damage iphone?

    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.

  • Is it ok to use my ipad charger for my iphone4?

    is it ok to use my ipad charger for my iphone4?

    Yes, but not the other way around. The iPad charger presents more current, which the iPad needs. It is plenty of current for the iPhone or iPod. (Don't worry, the device will only take the current needed, you won't burn it up or anything!)
    The smaller chargers provided with the iPhone and some iPods do not have enough current for the iPad.
    If you have both devices then it is best to get an extra iPad charger or 2 and then you can use it on any of your devices.

  • 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.
