Does this device come with the cables/connections necessary to charge an iPhone 5 or do I need to use my own charging cable?

You'll need your own cable. It has two female usb plugs (like a wall adapter or on your computer) and one female micro usb to charge. If you're using an iPhone 5 cable you'll also need a different cable or adapter to charge the unit once you've drained it.

Yes it comes with a USB to iPhone 4 or earlier cable. Not sure about other devices.

The cable that comes with it is to charge the battery. You could use the cable that came with your iPhone and iPad to connect it for charging.

Yes it does charge the iPhone 5, I have an adapter to micro USB and together they work wonders The charger charges the iPhone faster than when connected to an outlet.

actually mine came with the lightning cable connector I was really surprised. However I use it with my iPad (older connector) and iPhone 5. Thie iOS in the iPhone 5.0 knows their cable is not a genuine cable and will not charge with it, maybe with an older iOS it might but when I used a apple cable with it - it worked great on my iPhone.

It does not have an iPhone 5 adapter. If you want to charge your iPhone 5 you have to use the white cord you own.

This kit does not include an adapter or cable that works with the iPhone 5's lightning connection. If you had the 30 pin to lightning adapter it would work perfectly.

It does come with its own cord but you need a wall adapter for it if you want to plug it into the wall. Otherwise plug it into a computer usb port. My apple wall adapter worked just fine with it. If you have two wall adapters you can charge your phone and the power port separately, but what I did was plug the power port cable to my wall adapter, plugged the cable into the power port, and then hooked the phone to that overnight. That way you charge both the phone and power port at the same time.

Yes if you get the 30pin to Lightning adapter from Apple for $40.00 for the cable adapter or $30.00 for the pass through adapter or Under $20.00 for either from iPhone5Mod.com. Also you can use your USB/Lightning cable that came with your iPhone 5 and plug it into one of the USB charging ports in the backpack or you can get the Micro USB to Lightning adapter and use it on the built in Micro USB cable. Again both are available from Apple or iPhone5mod.com. Lots of options here people!

You will need standard USB charging cable for iPhone which you take with your iPhone. You can charge every phone with this charger, not just iPhone, but every phone.

It will charge the iPhone 5 via the USB port, but there is no dedicated "Lightning 8-pin" cable. You will certainly have to buy an adapter that will connect with the older iPhone connector, or just be OK with connecting it directly to the USB

Yes. Though it does not come with an iPhone charging cable (It comes with two USB-to-microUSB cables), so you'll need to use your own.

There's a USB port to plug in the iPhone adaptor. The cord that comes with it is to charge the device itself.

Since the connect to the device is via USB, you can charge anything that charges via USB, which would include an iPhone 5.

It charges anything with a cord that one end is USB. So yes it charges the iPhone 5.
