At 5000mAh anyone know why is iPad Air not on the compatible list?

usb supplies 500mA but iPad consumes more than 500mA. iPad can be charged but very slow. That is why they say it is not "compatible"

I am not quite sure, it actually charged the iPad a little. But, it never gave me a full charge.

Works great with iPhone 5S using the official (i.e. expensive by Apple) lightning adaptor...no knowledge if iPad Air,but should work. Make sure the software from RODE has been updated on your devices. Hope that helps.

The smaller 5W unit will not charge my iPad Air. It also lets my iPhone charge quickly and efficiently.

sorry I dont know, I have not tried. I have charged my wifes iphone 5s with it no problem but it might not have enough power for an ipad.BTW this power pack does not come with an adapter for the new apple devices.

The iPad Air uses a 8827mAh battery. The Tenergy ARC5200 only provides 5200mAh of power. So to answer your question- Yes it can charge an iPad Air to approx. 58% capacity. If you want a device that charges the iPad Air to full capacity, you need to look elsewhere.

No, it does not charge my iPad Air and I am very upset about it! I get a message on the screen of the iPad saying that the charger is not "certified"!

I can confirm as well that my wife's iPad 3 charges only on the 2A port (i.e. as labled "A" for "Apple" and "NA" for "Not Apple" which is amusing as I'm used to "Not Available").

I have the same problem. This item is advertised as being compatible with IPADs and I assumed all of them. Big disappointment!

You are using a third party/after market USB wall charger that is not providing sufficient current to charge your device. Please try charging the device with the original Apple charger for the specified device. For the iPad Air/iPad 4th Gen, you will need to use the Apple iPad USB charger that provides 2.4 amps.

You are correct, my husband noticed his iPad wouldn't charge up when it was in one of the ports. I didn't notice when I ordered it, as I am not electrically savy.

I was not successful with that . I got a message that it was not an authorized charger and it would overheat. I didnt continue because i was afraid of ruining my ipad

I doubt it. This device is actually incompatible with iOS 7, which is what the iPad Air comes with installed. It was compatible with my iPad Mini until I upgraded to iOS 7.

no it is only IPad Air. not 2. sorry I just got home from trip and just saw the question.

I'm not sure how much power the air uses but I have the last iPad and it completely drains the unit, so not great if consumption is anywhere close. Great for phones though.

YES. It can be used to charge iPad Air, iPad 4/3/2, iPad Mini HD and iPad Mini because this portable battery charger can output maximum 1000mA current, which is enough to get charging going on on Apple tablets.

I don't know. I have the iPhone 5s, and it charges this just fine. Remember, this is a small cable meant for using when you forget, or don't have your normal cable; it isn't meant for using as a replacement. According to the Apple website, all of the new lightning cables are compatible with all of the new products, so it should be compatible with your iPad Air 2. The cost isn't much, which is why I decided to take a chance and bought it, and I wasn't disappointed. It is a very good cable.
