Can you confirm is the USB 5v outlet is 1 amp or 2.1 amps? All I see is advertising for a 1A 5v USB, but ipads take 2.1 amps

Dear Customer, Thanks for your interesting in our Intocircuit Power Castle PC26000. Its output is 2.1A. Any other question, please feel free to contact us at betterstuff.amzon@gmail.com Best Regards, BetterStuff LowerPrice Support Team

no, the trick is that it charges at 3.1 amps. ipad takes 2.1 and iphone takes 1 ( in my case) that said it charges the ipad as fast as the standard wall charger but the phone can charge supper fast when plugged into the 2.1 amp port

USB outlets are marked 1A(upper) and 3A(lower) BUT the total is limited to 3.1A.So one at a time you can charge any iPad or iPhone BUT since iPad Air requires 2.4A may have a problem combining with another device. Earlier iPads may not be a problem combining since they require less amperage.

These chargers are rated at 5 and 10 watts, not amps. That means that the Apple adapters supply about 1 amp for iPhone and about 2 amps for iPad (or 3 amps for the latest, larger Apple power adapters). This Cooper outlet is rated at 2.1 amps for the USB ports, so that's about ~10 watts (2.1 amps x 5 volts). An iPad should charge fine, but might not charge quite as quickly as Apple's larger 15W (3 amp) power adapter. In my experience, a 3rd-gen iPad takes about 4 hours to fully charge using a 2.1 amp USB adapter.

It can only be charged by USB.... AC Charger (with USB plug) is a lot quicker though..It works great... charges my ipad about 2.5 times

I use this purely as a charger not as a USB hub. The key is being BC 1.1 compliant. I charge an iPad and iPad mini at the same time. It can pump 2.5 amps max across all ports. It will charge all 4 devices at normal USB rates but if you only hook up 2 devices they should both charge twice as fast! (1000 mA rate)

I use the amazon wall outlet with 2 usb connections. It works just fine with that and i can charge my phone as well. It doesnt however charge both ipad and any other electronic. Ipad can only be charged solo

I'd like to know if the USB port will charge an IN-USE iPad as well. I'd like to to not have to carry the 10 W adapter with me all the time.

For iPad, you have to use the port labeled for iPad (ports 1&3) because iPad required 5V, 2.1A input. Other devices it doesn't matter.

the 2.1A USB is capable of charging the ipad, while the 1A USB is more suited for an iPhone. as far as iDevices go, phones and ipods and such can be charged in either port as it will only use what it needs. the ipad, however, needs to use the 2.1A USB because it needs that amperage to charge.

Both ports individually will provide up to 3.1 amps as long as there is only one device attached. When two devices are attached the "A" port gets the bigger share of the 3.1 amps and is the only port to use with an iPad. Clearly, with two devices attached neither will charge as quickly as when any one device is charged by itself. The 3.1 amp total combined output is inadequate to charge two iPads simultaneously.

The 2 Amp output should be sufficient for charging any type of small electronics. My iPad 2 charges in about an hour.

Remember, this is a 4 amp unit. That means that any single device which needs less than 4A to charge, will be charged.... as long as that is the only device attached. If you have other devices attached, they will be drawing some current, usually up to 900 mA for a USB3 device... sooo something like an iPad may not be able to draw enough current. Most other devices should be ok.

I use it with one and an iPad without problems. This is 2.1 amps per port which is more than needed. However, if you are only using phones and no tablets, you are paying for more than you need.

It has a 1 amp port and a 2 amp port, I charge my iPhone and iPad at the same time but you can't charge two iPads. Look at the output rating on your plugs.

As per information on the box, it can charged iPad as it can give the power for 2.1A. But please keep in mind that it needs the power for the hub also, cannot use only usb power.

Not one port charges my iPad. I believe the 2.5A is the power into the Hub and it distributes that power to each port.
