I am not looking for this to function as a hub for data, but as a charging station. Will this charge two ipads and other devices simultaneously?

I have the 4 port version which has 1 dedicated charging port, I haven't tried charging with the other ports for anything but my Bluetooth earpiece. If the 7 port has 2 dedicated charging ports than you should be able to charge 2 iPads along with other devices that charge off of normal USB ports. Bit, again, I have the 4 port version with 1 charging port and I've only ever charged 1 i-device at a time.

I've used this Belkin device for charging. It charges my iPhone and my wife's iPhone and iPad. Belkin Conserve Valet with Energy-Saving USB Charging Station

Hi, Jaxie - Yes, it will. It has a dedicated 2.1 Amp "charging only" port, which doesn't connect to a PC. The remaining PC-connected ports will also charge at the same time, but with a lower amperage (I think around 0.9 A each, based on the tech blurb about the device).

According to the Anker website, some models have dedicated charging ports. This model does not have them.

I have never used it for that purpose but I don't see why I can't be used that way. It's a very good hub and I have plugged an external dvd player, an external hard drive, a printer, and a memory card reader and it does run all of those items.

Hi, Yes! You will be able to charge all series of iPad and iPhone. Also almost all of smartphone and tablet. There are two output ports so you can charge two devices at same time.

This device can be used to charge 2 phones at the same time. It states that it can charge a phone and an iPad at the same time to describe the amount of output the device has but 2 phones will charge just fine.

I ordered one and it has two USB ports, HOWEVER, I have been unable to charge two devices simultaneously (I tried with iPhone and iPad and was unsuccessful).

I am not sure. It will charge anything with USB and 5 V. It has enough current to charge 4 iphones at the same time. But not enough to charge an iPad

It says you are supposed to be able to but I keep finding if I have my ipad2 charging, the other slot doesn't work. You can charge 2 phones at the same time though, or 1 iphone and another small device.

I tried charging two at once and it didn't work. I think what was really intended is the one mini/micro whatever it is connection on the face is the only charging connection... On the positives, its a neat little device and I do mean little, the power adapter is much bigger than the hub.. I would still recommend buying it just based off its overall size and portability, I just kind of like the thing... Sorry no I dont think its capable of charging two devices at once.

Yes we charge 2 iPads resting on the top shelf and 2 phones on the lower shelf. Our station sits on a counter. Hope this helped

As far as I can tell, both ports are the same. We don't have an iPad, but we charged two phones at the same time and both charged. We also charged a Kindle and an Android tablet with no problems.

Never used as a charging station but as a hub it is recommended that only 5 ports be used simultaneously

Yes, two iphones two iPads etc. One of the ports, the one for the iPad, charges whichever device attached to it slightly faster. It is rated with higher amps.

Not sure, but will charge an iPad so using the 2nd USB port aught to work. The specification section on the Amazon site is actually quite thorough, as is the PowerGen website. I am quite certain this will work just fine however.

It can charge both devices at the same time. You have to use the 2.1 amp side for the ipad leaving the other port open for the phone.

Yes, it will charge two devices. Lightning cables are NOT included but the unit accomidates two cables and two devices.

Charge Yes, Sync no. It will sync with iPad on the other ports but not the charging port.

Yes, I regularly charge two devices simultaneously. Great little device, turns two wall plugs into three, plus the two USB ports as well, all active at the same time.
