Has ANYbody had any success charging an iPhone/iPad with this thing? I like that I can use it to charge batteries as well, so I'm tempted to buy...

I attached my iPhone 5 to it in direct sunlight and it showed it was charging but my 2nd generation iPad did not show it was charging (i.e. The battery icon did not turn green as it did on the iPhone)

I would not buy. My cell was actually discharging instead of charging when connected to it. I am still trying to figure it out.

The newest generation of iPads and iPhones require a higher output USB standard. Older devices will charge fine using the USB out feature of the Solar Battery Charger. Here is part of a Wikipedia article concerning USB ports and standard versus nonstandard devices: "Some devices, when plugged into charging ports, draw even more power (10 watts or 2.1 Amps) than the Battery Charging Specification allows. The iPad and MiFi 2200 are two such devices.[71]." For more information concerning the USB power specifications, here is the link to the full article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#USB_Power_Delivery_specification. Hope this helps!

I was able to charge my iPhone 5 with this unit. I only plugged it in to discern whether or not it worked. I watched the charge on my phone go from 30% to 31% within 2 or 3 minutes. I didn't want to discharge my batteries so stopped the test there. Hope this helps.

I think it should be fine, I charge iPad along with my kindle fire and my iPhone. They seem get charged pretty fast. But I noticed that when I use iPad or kindle fire while charging, it barely keeps up with the battery depletion level.

Possibly, however my experience with the charger was bad. I would plug my iPhone 4s in over night and in the morning it only charged about 7%. That's just a phone, so it might be even worse with an iPad.

I bought this becuase my kids have iPads and I have the iPhone 6. Its a great way to charge multiple devices and it does not effect the battery life at all. I have the original apple charger and my phone goes 3 days without charging. However if your using a some generic usb then the batter life will decresae signfically. I learned that after purchasing a purple charger from eBay. Its would charge my battery to 100% but it would die in hours.

Yes, I can! I even can charge full my ipad 2, and still have some energy to charge any other device. And It doesn't get hot when charging. Hope this result usefull for You... And sorry... I'm just learning english...

Frankly, I had not checked until asked this question so I tried it. My iPad 2 64gb device knows that something gets plugged in, but displays the "Not Charging" warning as it does on other iPhone charging blocks. Sorry, but it does work great with my iPhone and highly recommend it to connect through the car's audio system.

It does really well for iPads. I get 3 charges off of the portable battery for my iPhone and about 1 & 1/2 for my iPad if my iPad isn't completely dead. You can also use your devices while hooked up to the battery. I am amazed by this product. I hope this helps. :)

I had one that did not work. The iPad and an iPhone did not register that charging was taking place. I threw mine away.

I've never charged an ipad but I have charged my phone and nexus tablet. It is a powered usb device so it shouldn't have a problem charging anything.

I have no problem charging, using the original charging unit. I discovered that some other units do not work properly, but that may be more of an iPad issue than of mophie. Try another charger with sufficient power. An apple usb charger for ipad works for me.

Sorry, I cannot really help. I have no devices like iPads that take more current to charge. Mine is used to charge 2 iPod Touches and two vanilla (old, not smart) phones. I also use it to charge a Kindle and occasionally another device or two. None of them high power. For my purposes, it works great.

I use it to charge my iPhone 5 regularly. I have the 1st gen iPad and it charges that as well. Between iPhone 5 and the 1st Gen iPad, I am assuming it should work on the iPad 2 as well.

I tried to charge a iPhone 5 and an iPad Mini and it fried the charger out. Mine could of been faulty and it may not be a common problem.

I was able to get a charge to my iPad while on battery power alone. I think I remember reading though that if the battery starts getting low the unit will discontinue charging via USB in an effort to conserve battery life.

I charge an iPhone 5s with a Mophie case and an iPad 3 simultaneously with this charger. The only issue I've had is when I use cheap cables I sometimes get a message regarding compatibility. I'm thinking those cable may not be able to handle the amperage.

I use it to charge my iPad and iphone at the same time. It charges quicker that the apple supplied chargers. It will also charge a iPod mini.

I haven't used it to charge an iPad. I have used it to charge my iPhone and it charged to 100% three times before I had to charge the myCharge. I see no reason it couldn't charge an iPad, but it may require more power.
