Kindle charger on Ipad Mini

I have chargers for a Kindle and an iPad Mini. In both cases the transformers are built in to the mains plug and both have identical usb outlet ports to connect via a lead to the devices.
The mains plug of the Kindle charger delivers 5 volts 0.85amp = 4.25watts. The iPad mini equivalent delivers an output of 5 volts 1.0 amp = 5 watts.
If I put the iPad Mini usb charger lead in the Kindle mains plug and tried to charge my iPad mini with it at 5 volts 0.85amp = 4.25watts, would this cause any problems to the iPad Mini?
Likewise, could I use the iPad mains plug and the kindle lead to charge the Kindle at 5 volts 1.0 amp = 5 watts, would this cause any problem to the kindle?

Either will charge either. All compliant USB chargers should be interchangeable to the extent that they'll work to charge things. It's just a question of how long they take. I'm not sure about Minis, but the charger that comes with an iPad is 12W, which will charge it faster, but a 5W one will work. too.

:You need to recalibrate a device every few months. Let it completely run down before charging.

Is it safe to charge an iPad mini with a 2amp charger?

Is it safe for me to charge my iPad mini with a 2amp charger.

I charge my iPad mini and iphone off 2a chargers. In Australia, you cannot buy USB wall chargers less than 12w (iphones, ipad minis, and ipods use 5w). I have experienced no dramas, and neither have any of the customers ive sold 12W chargers too. I say its absolutely fine, but if you wish not to, you can charge it via usb to the computer. Hope this helps!

Can i use an iphone5 charger to charge an ipad mini?

can i use an iphone5 charger to charge an ipad mini?

You resurrected a 2 month old thread to say its not possible?
What is not possible exactly?
Because clearly charging an iPad mini with an iPhone 5 charger is totally possible.

That's the charger that ships with an iPhone 5, check the compatibility at the bottom of that page. It includes the iPad Mini.

Which output put should i use with my external battery to charge my ipad mini?

Hi,
I just bought an external battery (anker astro 2) and it comes with two output ports 1A and 2A. Which port should i use to safely charger my ipad mini?

Either one will work just fine. Circuitry in the iPad controls how much actual current is going to the battery. The 2A port will take less time to fully charge the battery.

HT202105 I charged my Ipad mini 3 with a 5W adapter. Is my battery screwed?

Oh thank you. I was kinda scared since I read somewhere it might get damaged. Something about a trickle charge.

HT1430 When charging my Ipad mini, it turned off and its still not working, what do i do pls??

When charging my Ipad mini, it turned off and its still not working, what do i do pls??

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

I am using 2 unit provided AC charger to charge my iPad mini. After a while, I checked the device. The battery is no longer in charge mode. It is only 80% charged. When I touch the AC charger, it is hot. I need to switch off the AC charger to let it cool down before continue to charge my iPad mini again. Of course it will be 100% charge but must make sure the AC charger is cool down completely.
I feel that the provided AC charger that is not suitable for our charging on iPad mini.

I would book an appointment at an Apple Store, if you have one nearby, to have it looked at.

Can I charge my iPad mini and/or my iPhone 4S from 220 volt outlets using just the correct plug adapter for the country.

Can I charge my iPad mini and/or my iPhone 4S from 220 volt outlets using just the correct plug adapter for the country, without a power converter?

Not staff or owner by a long shot.
I just know that anecdotally I have seen people reporting issues with their mini's charging. Is there a real issue or not? I don't know. Not a day goes by that a person doesn't post here complaining that their iPad won't charge and it turns out that they're trying to do it via USB or with the iPhone block.
But while there are a lot of user fixes sometimes it's good to have the pros take a look at things,and at the very least document that there has been an issue.
the four main reasons an iPad won't charge (beyond being plugged into a USB port)
Bad cable
bad outlet
bad brick
rule those out and it leaves issue with the iPad.

I charged my Ipad Mini overnight and it does not turn on at all today. It is only 7 months old. I received it as a gift, so I have no receipt. Any suggestions as to what may be wrong with it?

Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

If i use 12W charger to charge my ipad mini, is that will cause battery failure after charging?

this is because the original 5w charger is damm rubbish, everytime charging it also will stop for few min to cool down charger and recharge back for few times due to overheat problem. why the apple inc dun directly change a 12w charger in fact of the 5w charger got problem?

I have no idea what you are referring to. If you have a new iPad, then it uses a 12w adaptor. If you have an iPad 3rd gen earlier, it uses a 10w adaptor. iPad Mini uses a 5w adaptor as do iPhones.
The cost of the adaptor is irrelevant. The devices dictate what wattage adaptor you need to charge them. From Apple:
iPad models come with one of two different adapters. iPad (third generation) and earlier comes with a 10W adapter while iPad (4th generation) comes with a 12W adapter. iPad mini comes with a 5W adapter.
