What battery would be good to use with this product to charge so I can run my ipad iPhone and even a laptop for a small time?

I am not sure if you are looking for a battery or solar, the solar I can answer. For a laptop you will need the highest wattage you can get. You will also need an adapter to go from the Solar charger to the laptop. I do not know if you can find one on line or have to make it, that "PLUG" would have to atatch to your battery port on the laptop. I have a "SOLAR 12" It works great on my tablet even while I'm using it. I hope this helps you. SPM

It is fine but may not fully recharge device. This battery works fine on my iPhone 4s but would not charge my iPad mini at all. Says not compatible.

I don't see why not but it probably won't charge fully do to iPad being a bigger battery. It will give you enough juice to get you by til you get a real charge.

To the best of my knowledge, any decent NiMH should work.... Its my opinion that the low discharge rate batteries, such as Imedion or Eneloops are the best batteries available these days, not since they offer the greatest capacity, but since their low discharge rate allows them to sit unused for greater periods of time, and still deliver when needed. A device such as the PortaPow might sit in your glove box for months or years before being needed. To then find the bats dead makes no sense. If you are using the portapow daily, well, I'd think there are better ways to charge your portable device....

I would not use it for an ipad. The reason is the the current required for an iPad is around 2 amps. This battery pack will give out 400 to 600mA which is not enough for the iPad while it is still in use. It can charge if the iPad is completely off and even then it would be inefficient and slow to charge.Look for a battery pack (with good ratings) that says it has a 2A(amperes) line.Here is more on charging iPads https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3511

I buy 2013 Sony CP-A2LS USB Portable Charger with 4,000 mAh Li-Ion Battery This charge my iPhone 5 - 100% and 50% second time. iPad have more capacity than iPhone i think.But This external Battery is great! I think there are not external battery with more capacity, i Phone and i Pad are big energy consumers

Hi Ryan Any usb device that is 2.4A or less will work. Majority if not all. iPods, iPhones, iPads, smartphones and tablets will charge. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with. RND

Iy can by used with any thing that needs a 5 volts. And if you have the appropriate cable to connect your ipod. If you can charge your iPad with your laptop then your can do it whith this power bank.

The small manual does not address your questions....sorry. Feel free to contact PowerGen @ www.PowerGenBatt.com or info@PowerGenBatt.com. I mainly use it for my Ipad when the battery runs out so it has served my purposes well.

Hi Joanzy, Thank you for your second question for Shop Akari. The iBattz Mojo Vogue BattStation has a capacity of 5600mAh and it has an output voltage of 1A and according to IBattz it can charge up to 2 full cycles of your iPhone (4S and 5).While this may be enough for most iPhones and smart phones, this is slower than what iPads and other phablets can take and may not fully charger the iPad (maybe only about 25-50%). Please feel free to contact me with any other questions you may have. Happy Holidays! Lulu Shop Akari (713)869-4656

Yes, just make sure it is plugged into the 2.4Amp USB port. This should provide plenty of power to simultaneously charge/run an iPad.

This will be able to charge your iPad. iPhone requires less amperage than the iPad to charge, so this will charge you iPhone as well.

To charge, I would use th chord provided. To use the battery, you can use any USB chord.

I see the iPad air has an 8800 Mah battery so the should be plenty in this external battery to charge it close to twiCE. The usb cable you have know should work fine. Just start with the 1amp port first to insure it is charging. If you have a 110 volt charger you plug into the wall it will have the amp output list on it. If it is 2 amps or above you can use the 2amp port (faster charge).

You can use any USB -> micro/ipod/ipad cable to charge your device. The included cable is only "required" for charging the battery, althouggh the short cable is convenient when used to charge your phone

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

I was able to charge it via iPhone/iPad power plug, don't know about other brands...
