IPad, iPhone charging

Can I use my iPad charger for my iPhone also?

After reading some of the replies to this post and other similar posts, I am left wondering: if the iPad charger supplies 10 watts of power, thus charging it faster than using an iPhone charger which only supplies 5 watts of power, is it SAFE to use an iPad charger for the iPhone?? I know it is POSSIBLE but is it SAFE for the phone?

    No. It does not have the correct plug adapter for SA.
    The kit is far more than you need anyway.
    The charger you received with the iPad will work world-wide (110-240 VAC). All you need is a plug adapter.
    You can pick one up at just about any electrical/electronics/appliance/general merchandise stores (meaning everywhere) and airports when you get there, for about $3-$6.

  • 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.

    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!

  • I mistake to using Iphone charger to recharge my Ipad and now the Ipad can't recharge thou.

    I mistake to using Iphone charger to recharge my Ipad and now the Ipad can't recharge by the original charger. How can I do?

    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 the iPad 2 charger the same as the charger for the original iPhone?

    My understanding is that the charger that comes with the iPad 2 is more powerful and will charge the iPad 2 more quickly than will the charger that comes with the iPhone 4. However, the iPad 2 charger is the same shape as the charger that came with the original iPhone. Does anyone know whether the iPad 2 charger and the original iPhone charger are identical in function? (BTW, my understanding is that the iPad 2 charger will not charge the iPhone 4 faster than that phone's charger will).

    No, they're not the same. I compared mine awhile back and while they're the same shape, the iPad 2 one has writing on it that says "10 W USB Adapter". The one for the original iPhone doesn't have that writing, but if you compare the detailed input-output information, it does show that it is less powerful.
    I believe that's why Apple changed to the two different sizes, so you can quickly determine which are for "phone" type devices and which are for "larger" type devices.
    iPod USB Power Adapter
    Input 100-240V ~ 0.15A (0,15A) 50-60 Hz Output 5V ----- 1A

    Input 100-240V ~ 0.45A (0,45A) 50-60 Hz Output 5.1V ----- 2.1A

  • 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.

  • IPad 2 charger on iPhone 4s?

    Is it okay to use the bigger more powerful iPad 2 charger to charge your iPhone 4S?  And how about the reverse? 
    I had my iPad connected to a Dell latitute laptop during setup (via USB) and it was in a state of "not charging".  I assume this was because the USB port wasn't able to provide high output to charge the device?  Will an iPhone chargine device charge the iPad 2 but at a slower rate?
    Thanks,
