How fast does it charge and will it damage a kindle fire?

I'm not a lot of help about either. When I first tried to charge it the days were so gloomy, it took a couple of days. What's nice is you can keep checking to see if you have 4 bars. You can quick-charge it through your computer. I can't see how it would harm a kindle fire. I've been using it to charge my cell phone and just recently gotten a charger for AA and AAA batteries to use with it. My son uses his to charge all kinds of things.

Would like to answer this BUT the unit I got did not charge anything. I tried it with my Kindle Fire HD and it never charged at all. May have been a defective unit I got BUT I returned it for refund.

A full charge (4 bars) will take 3-4 hours using the USB connection to a computer - recommended. Solar charging however may take 8-10 hours to get 2 (of 4) bars and this is this on a sunny day. I use this unit more of a battery backup for my Samsung Galaxy S2. It has a 4000mAh battery capacity and an output of 5V, 1000mA. I never tried on a Kindle Fire but I would think this maybe not provide enough power for a tablet.

I tried on my fire. First I fully charged the solar battery via 2000mah usb charger (takes just under 2hours from dead) and I ran my kindle completely down (till it shut off) then I set the charger to charge the kindle. Kindle ran the charger completely down and its battery indicator showed about half full. I suppose you could fully charge your kindle fire, but you would have to either have a second solar battery, or recharge the battery (by sun, that's a 2 - 3 day process) I guess the kindles battery is just to big, but then, it does get great battery life (4+ hours watching movies) also, the solar battery gets hot charging the kindle. Apparently it will put out power as fast as your device will take it, and with the kindle fire that's 2000 may. Don't get me wrong. This product is great, my kindle was the only thing it failed to fully charge in one sitting. I also tried a psp at 1800 may which the battery fully charged. 3ds at 1300 may. It would fully charge my cellphone twice at 900 may and my sansa mp3player several times though I have no idea what its battery is rated. You could use it as an extended battery for your fire to get a couple extra hours though.

At first, I answered, "no", because I don't have a kindle. It's charged my iPhone and iPad with no problem. It's got a regular USB port, so if that's what the kindle has, the. I'd say, yes. Charged it may months ago, and I just checked it and its still fully charged. I'm very pleased with it

Yes, in fact; I just used it just recently to charge my Kindle Fire HDX 7. Just make sure you use the 2-amp port if you want your Fire to charge faster. I don't know if there's a better charger out there or not because this is the only wireless USB charger I've ever owned, but it is well built and provides long battery life.

I have used this to charge my kindle fire, with no issue. That said, I do not know if it can overcharge. I only use it when I travel. It charges fairly quick, charging my kindle and cell phone during flights. By the end of the flight, I pack up the cords and my electronics have been topped off.

My wife has a Fire and I have a paper white and I have used one charger for both on occasion. To be safe you should look at the specs. for both devices and the charger to ensure you will not damage your Kindles. I know this is not a definitive answer but I tend to be cautious with expensive items.

I have no idea if it will charge the Kindle Fire. I use it to charge 5S iPhone.

The cord is roughly about 36 inches in length. You can not use and charge at the same time. You can plug it in but it has to be turned off to charge according to my son. For clarity this comment is for using it with the Kindle Fire HD device.

Yes, it will charge the Kindle Fires and any thing else. It has enough charge to charge two things.

I'm not sure what you mean by that, honestly, but I can tell you that I have a dual port I use for my iPhone 4 and basic Kindle, and they both charge quickly and fully. My son-in-law uses one for his iPad Air and iPhone 5s, and they also both charge fully and the charge lasts a full day. Hope that helps.

We use ours to simultaneously charge two Kindle Fire's, it works however I noticed it takes on average 2 hours longer to charge in comparison when only one is being charged.

I'm not sure how fast you need to charge but I have no complaints about the speed. Works like a normal charger would.

I haven't timed it, but I've been using the 2.1A slot for my Fire HD and it has worked great (I can use it while it charges and it will fully charge while I'm doing so). It has worked as good or better than the kindle-specific charger.

I have utilized both to charge up my Kindle Fire HD as well as to have the Kindle run on a very low battery by having it plugged into the charger. I have not noted it to fully charge the Kindle even when fully charged.

Yes, definitely. I own one of those as well and have done so. Bear in mind however that this charger has a capacity meant for cell phones. It will charge a Kindle Fire (I have the HD model that is currently $200) completely once and you may have enough left over to charge your phone once afterwards.

Yes it will. Charges fast. You just need a usb connection to your phone to charge it. I've used it on my iphone 4s, ipad mini and my girlfriends kindle fire so far abd all charge nicely.

Yes. I have charged my kindle fire and my moms kindle fire, old school version. It also works great for samsung phones and most tablets. I have a leap pad tab for my son and it works beautifully also. Its great to have one cord take the place of nearly 10 different uses

It can charge anything with a micro USB port. Don't know what type port the Kindle Fire port has.There is an option when you click on the item for Ipod charger as well. If you turn off your item it will charge. If you leave it on it won't die but won't charge. I use it when I am not in my car or near an electrical outlet. I can continue to play a game, FB, text, etc. Maybe you could find a micro USB converter to a Kindle port?
