Can you charge an iPhone 5 on the 2.1 amp. Will it cause overheating? What devices are safe to use on the lightening charge? What's the difference?

First, you can charge an iPhone 5 on the 2.1 amp, but your iPhone 5 will not get 2.1A current cause iPhone equipped a build-in IC to control the charging current at 1A (Max). That's like a water plant has enough power to deliver the water, and the pipe is unobstructed, but finally how much water you can get, it depends on the tap, right? So generally, you can use the 2.1A port to charge your any 5V USB-Charged devices, the 2GS will output 2A without problem, but how much juice get into your deice, it depends on how much it can "eat" (you may refer to your device's user manual to confirm) . Hope I have solve your doubts successfully.

Yes you can charge an iPhone 5. I haven't seen any over heating when I've used the 2.1 amp. The 2.1 is suppose to charge your devices faster. It is suppose to work best with the devices that have the 3.0 charging ports, but I've used it on my nexus 5 and it charges it a lot faster.

I have not tested it with one, but I can say it is iffy at best. In perfect conditions this will charge an earlier iPhone. I certainly wouldn't trust it to fully charge any iPhone. Especially if I wasn't there to supervise. Where this would be helpful is to charge a battery pack from which you could charge your phone in turn.

Well, all I can say is that I use it with an Anker battery pack, which says 1.5A input current.As far as I know these new chargers, which output via a USB connector, establish sort of connection with a device being charged. And the device itself will only take whatever it is capable of.So it's not like the charger will shove those 2Amps down the device's USB connector.Your device is supposed to support whatever current is listed on the device. Otherwise it will just use as much as it is capable of.That's what I've been told.Hope this helps.

No. The charger would be damaged if your device needed 2 amps and the charger only provided 1 amp. The 2 amp rating means it could charge 2, 1 amp devices at the same time. I've used it many times without issue on a variety of devices.

I don´t have 2 iPhones, so I can´t answer equivocally. However, I have charged both my iPad and iPhone at the same time, and I have not concentrated on which output I was using, so I have charged the iPhone with the 2.1 amp. I have not experienced any problem.

This is the cable only. The other piece of the equation is a unit that is plugged into an electric outlet to accept the usb end of this cable. The other end of third lightening cable gets plugged into the phone, of course. So I would say no to your question. Usually new iPhones include both the cable and the charger. Maybe he lost his. There are "generic" usb chargers (not specifically made by Apple) but you have to watch the specs as they may not charge the phone as rapidly as the Apple spec'd chargers. Just search on Amazon for iphone chargers. He may want the cable too, not sure from your question, so I would get both. The are not expensive. This is the cable only.

I used this cable to charge my iPhone 6 and my phone overheated (I got the temperature warning). I've never had any of my phones ever get so hot! It wasn't just warm to the touch, it was HOT!When I plug it into my MacBook Pro, I also get this message, "USB Devices Disabled. Unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devices." An iPhone should not get this message as it doesn't draw that much power.

I really haven't try, and let me just add I was searching as to why my Iphone was getting si Hot and i found out that there's something going on with all of the Iphones 4s and 5 and few other brands from what I understood it's the iOS. So to this point it could the problem. I'm going to keep the rechearchable power bank. And take it from there.Thanks in advanceGabriel Núñez

I don't think there's anything too mysterious about chargers. This Belkin base delivers a 2.1 amp current to whatever USB cord you plug into it. I've used this base to charge iPhones, iPads, iPods, Android phones, camera batteries... The only thing "hocus pocus"-ey about Apple is the non-USB, *other* end of the cord, the end which plugs into your device -- something about a slightly different pin configuration will sometimes make my iPhone5 say something like "this cord is not approved by Apple". But if I switch the cord (or even just flip it over) it's always charged any of my devices, and very quickly at that. I don't think there's anything too mysterious about chargers.

Yes it works with iphone 5. The device comes with a 2.1 Amp USB slot on the front that can quickly charge iPhones (yes iphone 5), iPods, anything charging via USB slot, and even iPads (which require at least 2 Amps to charge).

There isn't a built in slot that includes a lightening adapter...BUT there is a generic USB slot that you can connect your own lightening chord for the iphone5. I use it all the time for mine.To answer your question, you can charge it using this bag.

This product comes with a plug-in USB port, so, yes, you can charge your iPhone 5 so long as you have your USB charger cable. I've never actually tried to charge my cell phone with this, so I can't answer your second question.

I don't have an iPhone 5 but I have an iPad mini which uses the same lightning to USB cable. It charges the mini in both the 2.1 and 1.0 amp ports. It should charge the iPhone 5 as well. Plus in the 2.1 port you'll find that it charges very quickly.

I didn't notice this issue yet so far. My iPhone 5s heats up a little bit sometimes even when I use the original charger wire which comes with the iPhone purchase. You may want to test with the original wire as well to see it that happens again.

L130X: Using a 1A charger, such as phone charger: 13 hours. Using a 2A charger: 8 hours. Limefuel support told me that iPhone chargers have been known to overheat while charging the L130X. In fact, it burned out my white Apple cube iPhone charger, but they replaced it with a Limefuel 2A charger at no charge. I recommend using only a 2A charger with this product.

If you have certain rechargeable cases on your iPhone 5 yes, but just an iPhone 5, no. The iPhone 5 takes a lightening cable to charge.

This does not have a lightening port charger, but i charge my iPhone 5 using the apple lightening port adapter on the existing Apple connection cable and it works just fine.
