Is the iPad power adapter interchangable with iPhone adapter?

Is the iPhone power adapter(5s) interchangeable with the iPad power adapter, both use the lightening connector.

The short answer is yes.
You can use the iPad adapter with the iPhone.
iPad requires more power.
If you use the iPhone adapter for the iPad, it will charge but just very very slowly.

  • Will the Ipad power adapter operate safely from the modified sine-wave output from a 12VDC-240VAC inverter?

    Will the power adapter for the Ipad Air operate safely on the modified sine-wave output from a 12 VDC-240VAC inverter?

    I am not sure why you want to do that...the power adapter takes 100-240 volts AC at 50-60 Hz and converts that to 5 to 5.1 volts DC at about 2 amps.  Why are you inverting 12 VDC to 240 VAC then back to 5 VDC?
    It should handle that easily, but seems like a long round about way of getting there.

  • Can I charge the shuffle with an iPad power adapter?

  • Can the usb sync/power cable that came with the iPhone 3g and 4 handle the 2.1 amps drawn by the ipad 2 (if used with the 10w plug) without risk of overheating?

    I recently made the mistake of buying a cheap sync cable from a well known auction site becuase I wanted a longer cable than comes in the box for my ipad 2.
    Whilst my iPad will sync OK, it takes an age to charge (using the standard 10w plug in the wall). I don't fully understand the science in the cables, but assume it is not a big enough cable to handle the current/2.1 amps?.
    If like house wire you send too much current through a cable that is to small for the job it risks overheating and causing a fire.
    Does this same principle apply to the iPad power lead?
    Anyway back to the question, can I use other leads I have hanging around the house from my previous iphones and ipods to charge my ipad (again still using the 10w plug in the wall) or will the cable in these be too small to handle the 2.1 amps required by the ipad?
    I don't want to risk overheating the cables and causing a short to break my beloved iPad 2...!

    Thanks for your replies.
    Not sure they entirely answer my question though.
    I have used my different cables and can see that they are actually working (charging and syncing etc), but am i using old cable that was not intended to draw 2.1 amps and so may overheat and cause damage in the long run?
    Or did apple deliberately over engineer the original cables which were only needed to supply 1 amp and they can actually be used to draw 2.1 amps comfortably?
    Whilst the 30 pin connectors and usb points are identical, is the internal cable thickness/awg gauge the same?
    Thanks

  • Ipad 4 not charging with the ORIGINAL Power adapter that came in the box. Can't charge my iPad. I plugged in on PC all night and has been charged to 7%

    Yesterday, as usual was going to charge my iPad, it was at 1%. Well, I took my ipad charger (original Apple official, I want to clarify that as a first step, I'm using the brand products than Apple) and plugged into an outlet ... The ipad began loading the first two minutes , then I got a notification telling me that the iPad could not charge with the charger.
    I was quite surprised by the announcement. I disconnected and reconnected it .... again, I received the same notification. Then I disconnected and tried it on another outlet ... anything, yet. then I tried it on another outlet and ipad started charging. but after a while I had the same notice, not paying attention to that. I left it charging and I removed roughly 25% that of fear for something to happen. also remembered that situation (made 2-3 months ago where the iPad was not charging but after waiting a while disconnected, reconnected it and loaded normally).
    so I decided to wait to re-connect the iPad to the outlet. This time, I plugged it into the outlet (fully discharged) at night and expected to find it loaded in the morning. But my surprise is that it still is off, it did not load anything.
    I Bought the iPad in December 2012. Do you think that my iPad is hurt?
    What can I do? Ay recommendation?
    Please, HELP ME!

    Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.  You may also want to swap out the cable, just to confirm or rule out that it's bad.
    If none of those fixes work, make the appointment at your apple store and have them check it out.

  • 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.

  • Is it possible to use the firewire power adapter for ipod to charge an Ipad

    There is information everywhere that the Ipad doesn't charge with low power adapters.
    The first power adapter I received with my first Ipod was the firewire power adapter and it allows intensities even higher than the 10 W Ipad adapter.
    Could this old adapter be used with Ipad
    Model n. A1070 output 12V 6.7 A if I believe what is written on it.

    You should only use a USB-type charger for the ipad. Any other charger is risking damage to the ipad.
    The ipad uses 5Volts at 2 amps for best charging. This is why it came with the wall charger.
    You can charge it with any 5 Volt USB charger as long as the output amps is approximately 1 amp or more. If the amps rating on the charger is less than 2 amps, it will charge slower, but it is safe. The ipad will only draw the current it requires, but any voltage higher than 5 volts is risking damage to the ipad.
    Hope this helps.

  • IPad WiFi 3G can't be charged using the 10W power adapter

    Hi,
    My new iPad gives me Not charging sign when I use the 10W power adapter comes with, and even I can't connect it to iTunes in my Macbook Air, windows XP, or windows7 laptops. I tried everything apple support provided but again nothing.
    So, I'm open for suggestions.

    I would try another charger and cable.
    If that doesn't fix the problem, I'd take it back to the seller for replacement.

  • Is the USB Power Adapter compatible with iPod touch 3rd Generation?

    Is the USB Power Adapter compatible with iPod touch 3rd generation?
    (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB352LL/B?fnode=MTY1NDA4NA&mco=MTM3NDk1MjI)
    The specs of the Adapter ("This accessory is compatible with the following:" in the "Overview" section) don't mention iPod touch 3rd generation. They do mention 1st and 2nd Generation
    Thanks!

    Thank you, Lyssa.
    You must be right based on that article (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353). The latest model of iPod touch is referred to as "iPod touch (Late 2009)" -- and NOT "iPod touch 3rd generation", as I erroneously assumed.
    That completely answers my question about the USB power adapter.

    The link says nothing about the power requirements. Or the connector for power. You have not provided enough information to answer the question.
    Does the PS charge using a USB adapter? In general all devices that are charged using a USB power adapter expect between 4.5 and 5.5 volts (the USB standard). However, they have different current requirements (amps). You can always use an adapter capable of supplying more current than the device requires, but you cannot use one that supplies less. For example, an iPhone 5 requires 1 amp. However, you can use a 2 amp adapter with it.
