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%.

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.

iPhone and iPod: Using the iPad 10WUSB Power Adapter, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4327
While designed for use with the iPad, you can use the iPad 10W USB Power Adapter to charge all iPhone and iPod models. When charging an iPhone 3G with a 10W USB Power Adapter, you may notice that the battery indicator does not increase. If this occurs, or if your battery indicator doesn't update after charging, restart your iPhone 3G to display the correct battery level.

Can I use the Ipad Wall Adapter and my Iphone USB cord to charge my Iphone 5s?

I heard that the IPad wall adapter will charge an IDevice faster, so I was wondering if I used my IPads wall adapter and my IPhones USB cord to charge my IPhone 5s, will it be okay?

You are welcome. Knowing which chargers are interchangeable helps when traveling, I only carry the iPad charger now since it works fine with the iPhone. The other way around will not work, however. You cannot charge an iPad with an iPhone charger, the power rating is too low.

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 ipad mini adaptor for charging iphone 5s?

Why does my 3rd gen ipad only charge with an iPhone charger and not the 10w charger it came with?

Im only asking this because it's annoying me , but my 3rd gem ipad will not charge with its 10w charger ? It will happily charge with my iPhone charger, and my iPhone will happily charge with the 10w charger but why won't the ipad charge with the charger it came with ? Any ideas ?

The cable for your 10W charger may be defective.

Can you use the same charging cable for both an iPhone and an IPad or are they different? When I use the charging cable for my iPhone on my Ipad, it doesn't charge.

Any good chargers or dual-use cables for charging an iPhone 4S (30-pin) and iPad 4 (lightning)?

Here is the situation:
A sick friend lies in bed most of the time and has her iPhone 4S (30-pin) charging cable connector within reach. She now also has an iPad 4 (lightning connector).
We are looking for a good charging solution which doesn't require multiple chargers or getting up and replacing the cable in the adapter.
We know we can use the same adapter for the iPad 4 and iPhone 4S, but the cable/connector is different.
Is there a good single cable with both kinds of connectors on the end?
Or would a connector adapter be easiest?
Or is there some cool charging unit which can do both at the same time?
Thanks,
Doug

Your only two choices, that I can think of, is to use an adapter. I have a third party one that I got at Office Depot that has micro USB on the end, with a lightning or 30 pin that I can swap out. And there are cables that are dual ended...as in the adapter is attached and can be plugged/unplugged but are still part of the cable.
For third party I'd suggest to stick to well known names, Targus, Zagg, Kensington, Belkin etc for your shopping. THose companies have most likely, gotten permission from Apple to make accessories.
The only other option I can think of is to use a longer extension cord to put the power block near your friend's bed, which will then allow her to plug in the appropriate cable to charge the appropriate device.

Is it ok to charge my iPhone 6 with my iPad charger

Is it ok to charge my iPhone 6 using my iPad charger

i do understand that, but frankly speaking, it takes approximately 3-4 hours to completely charge my phone from 1% to 100% (with 1A charger)
Comparatively, it would take less than one hour to top up my battery with 2.1A charger.
Hence, just thinking to myself that, "why didn't apple come with the 2.1A charger at the first place?"

Is it safe to charge an iPhone 5S with an iPad 12 W Apple Charger ?

Hello,
I want to purchase an extra DC Charger to charge both my Ipad 4th gen and my iPhone 5S.
Is it safe to use a 12W Apple Charger for both device ?
Thanks.

According to Apple Store page, it also charges iPhone and all iPod models.
And I use the charger that came with iPad for my iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s all the time and nothing happened, so I think it is safe to use 12W Charger for both devices.

I want to add a solar charger for iPhone 5 and iPad to my emergency kit. Are there recommendations for compatible solar products?

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.

If I use the 10W power pack (received with my iPad) to charge my iPhone 4S hurt my phone battery?

Will the 10W USB Power adapter (I got w/my iPad) hurt my iPhone 4S?

No. The iPhone will draw as much power as it requires to charge its battery. It cannot draw too much, nor can it draw more than the adapter is capable of providing.
Conversely, you may also use the iPhone 4S charger to charge the iPad. It will just take longer to charge than it would with the iPad's charger.

Can I use the iphone charger to charge ipad

Can I safely use the iPhone charger to charge an iPad or iPad mini? I realize that the iPhone charger will charge the iPad/iPad mini at a slower rate, but does it have the potential to overheat or burn out the iPhone charger? I ask this because it is more convenient to take the iPhone charger on trips and a longer charge time is not a problem.

The only problem is the slow rate of charge. You would do better to carry the iPad charger and use it also for the phone. That is perfectly OK too.
