What is the amperage of each port NA and A? Why the SPECIAL case for an Apple? Will my Android charge at 2.1 amps on both usb ports?

The USB ports appear to be parallell and will split 20 Watts @5 Volts or 4 amps. I have been able to charge my Blackberry Z10 and my daughter's iPad II simultaneously without a warning from the devices. It is a sturdy charger and fits snugly in the power outlet.

Yup! The Power Supply has two plugs: One made for Apple Products (marked "A") and one not made for Apple Products (marked "NA"). The NA port does not charge the iPad, just maintains the power level. However, the NA port charges everything else. The A port charges an iPad really well. The charge seems to be a bit quicker than with the standard charger, but that might just be perception.

Yes, 3 of the ports are for 'other than Apple' devices, and the other two are provided for Apple devices. You may charge Apple devices in the 'other than Apple' ports, but because of the lower amperage, the charge will be slower. Unlike some other charging devices, adding devices to the charge does not impact the 2.3 amp ports.

The charger that I received works for Galaxy and other non-Apple devices. The instruction sheet shipped with it implies that it is an Apple product, and as you point out, the title is also incorrect. The seller has stated that the instruction sheet would be corrected, but it looks like the title is still wrong. Anyway, the charger that I actually received is a valid 1.9 amp USB standard charger for all non-Apple devices. If you use it on an Apple device you will only get 500mA (half amp) from it. This is because Apple is different from the rest of the world in how it detects the capacity of a charger.

Checked out the Scosche web site and found a reVIVE II - Dual USB Car Charger (USB12V2A) which purportedly has two 1.0 Amp USB outlets. It's anybody's guess whether this a different charger than what Amazon is selling, but it appears to be better equipeed to accomodate two iPhones at the same time. Hope this helps!

According to the manufacture's specs both ports seem to be identical as far as the amps provided (2.4 amp each port / 4.8 amps simultaneous). EDIT: I just got the charger in and according to the specification table in the instruction manual each port is optimized to the specific device - 1 port for Apple and 1 port for Android. You can charge a device with iOS 4 or less only in the Apple port but iOS 5 or greater can be charged in either port. However, for Apple devices the Apple port provides higher amps than the Android port, and for Android devices the Android port provides higher amps than the Apple port.

In my experience, I have not noticed a difference in charging times. If you plug in an Android device in the Apple port, it won't charge any faster as it will only pull the max without destroying the device.

Yes, it says Android on one and Apple on the other. Though honestly there is no difference, the Apple socket provides higher output (2.4A) to those devices which are capable of taking a higher charge speed like an Iphone (I believe can take 2.4A), but if you plug anything which draws anything lower like 1.5 or 2.0A in the 2.4A socket ,the device will only draw however much it is able to take. It's completely safe.

'Over-amping' a device is impossible by the laws of physics. So no worries there. The amperage listed per port is the maximum that port is capable of supplying. A device will attempt to consume the amps it was designed to up to the limits of the port it is plugged into. More amps means faster charging.This is all before Apple enters the picture because they do strange things to try and force their customers to buy only their products. So a 2A 'apple' port may not supply the full 2A to non-apple devices and vice versa. Unless Apple got their act together which I doubt...

Logically you would think that 'i' stands for Apple and 'G' stands for General/Android. In reality all four ports are connected in parallel to a single power supply inside. So it doesn't matter which port you use. Just remember to keep the total output current under 2.1A to prevent burn-out.

It depends on amperage. What your phone can handle, what the cable you are using can handle, and which output you are using. Get an app that tells you what amperage your phone is charging at. standard PC usb port amperage is usually 600mA. common wall outlets are about 900-1800mA. getting 1200mA to your phone will charge it twice as fast as 600mA. If you use the built in cable or the 2000ma (2amps) port with a good cable it will charge your phone as fast as your phone will go. If you use the 600mA (.6amp) port it will charge as slow as charging it from a PC usb port.

It has two USB charging ports on it. One is a 1 Amp port, used for charging tablets such as ipad or kindle fire, and the other port is 500 Milliamp, which is used for charging normal smartphones and ipods, etc...You can use the 500 mA port to charge tablets as well, it is just much slower

Its the standard micro USB charger that has become the standard. I use it for all my phones which are Androids and for my Android Tablet. The Apple products are different and you wont be able to use this for Apple products.

From the product description:5 Amp / 25 Watts- Charge multiple devices at the same time. Each port is also conveniently labeled, so you won't forget which ports are for tablets, and which are for smartphones. If your device isn't specified, you can charge it in any port.From the FAQ in product Description:Q: Can I charge an iPhone in the Android port?A: Yes. The reason it's labeled "Android" is because that port can sense certain Android devices that need to communicate with a charger. While there aren't many that do so, we wanted to ensure that all your devices will charge at full speed. From the product description:5 Amp / 25 Watts- Charge multiple devices at the same time.

It will charge an iPhone (2.1) and an Android phone (1.0) at the same time, no problem. I'm not sure about 2 Android devices at one time. My understanding is the 2.1 slot is for Apple products and I don't know if using that slot for Android products would be okay or not. Sorry.

yes, each will get 2 amps, but be careful not to plug more than that in. I charged two tablets and my cell phone a few times and the charger died. It was great as long as I never plugged more than 4.2A of draw in, but more than that seemed to cause it a lot of pain, and a very quick death.
