Do you have to plug in the lightning cable to the iPad/iPhone when you want to charge it or is there a connector built into the BookArc?

There is not a built in charger but the arc does not interfere with plugging in an iPad.

The BookArc does not have a built-in charging connection for the iPad/iPhone. However, it is easy to run the cable underneath the stand for portrait mode or attach your cable to your device in landscape mode with no problems. It is a great stand. We own two of them and highly recommend it. ~Cathy

There's no connector built into the BookArc. However when it's plugged in and facing you the charging cable really can't be seen.

Yes you still need to plug it in, the arc is just a cradle for the iPad. Also if you have a cover on the iPad, it doesn't fit real snug?!

it's just a cradle for your iPad...you'd need to use and plug in your own cable for charging.

You plug the USB into your computer to charge it. I've also plugged it into an apple ipad charger, which seemed to work fine.

Yes, it does have a lightning connection. I used it to charge my iPad and iPhone 5s--until the connector burned while not in use.

The connection cables are for the iphone/ipod/ipad 4 (and earlier generations before they made the charging port change). However, you can still plug in your iphone/ipod/ipad USB charger to the bag's USB battery ports and charge that way. Or, you can use a charging converter cable (connects at one end to the old iphone/ipod/ipad charger, and the other end is the new charging cable).Hope this helps!

It comes with a USB cord. One side goes into the power block and the other side goes into a wall plug that accepts USB (I use my iPhone plug). It's a great product. It has allowed me to recharge my phone up to three times before it is fully discharged. And since it is powerful my kids can charge two ipads at the same time! I highly recommend it, good luck.

It has a USB connector, so you would just use your lightning (or whatever outlet) to USB cable to connect the two. It only comes with one cable, an android to USB one, which use use to charge the charger.

This comes with the cable that allows you to charge the unit. The cable is a USB on one end and the other end plugs into the unit. I take my iPhone wall charger and unplug the wall end from it and use that to charge mine. Hope this helps

You can charge via USB with its microUSB port. What I prefer to do is to use an Apple iPhone charger to trickle charge it slowly, or the larger, 2 amp iPad charger when I predict I'll need it sooner rather than later. Hope this answer helps.

you use your iphone charger- for example you charge the battery pack (anker astro mini)with its enclosed charger- then you use your charging cable that came with your iphone, plugging USB into battery pack and other end into phone- hope that makes sense

You use the Ipad/Iphone/Ipod USB plug that you have with your current device and the USB plug that came with the speaker. Mine works great but it I want to charge my Ipad I have to use the plug that came with my Ipad.

No. Unfortunately the dock connector cable is permanently attached. I tried one of the converters to try to attach my iPhone 5 and the phone would not charge. So far, I have not been successful finding any kind of lightning equivalent. Too bad because the autopilot worked so well with my iPhone 4. HTH, Jeff

Does a kindle have a USB plug to charge? I can charge my iPad with it too so if I has a USB cable then I think it should.

When you want to charge your ipad, first of all, do not connect to computer, because the hub will automatically assume you are transfer data, instead of fast charging. (this is all for protecting purposes, in case the 1.5A current will blow out your hard drive or flash drive or even the usb port on your computer) When you connecting with your computer , each port only provides 500mA instead of 1.5A.

Ann - I have two of these. You can charge the device two ways. First, you can attach the USB cord that it comes with to a computer's USB port to charge. Or, you can attach the USB cord to an AC adapter like those that come with iPhones and plug it into a wall outlet to charge. I use mine as a hand warmer and as a way to charge my iPhone and iPad. Hope that helps.

This cord will connect your apple product to the what ever you use to charge it. this can be a computer USB or some other USB charger for the device. Please note that the IPhone and the IPad require different charging currents, so if you get the wall adaptor get one that is strong enough for your device.

It comes with the cable to charge it, you will still need your lightning cord to plug it into an iPhone when you need to use it

No you do not. When you connect it to a Mac or Win it starts the charge and it is full operational. The battery allows for the added energy to burn a blu-ray. You can also use a iPad, kindle or other to charge it. It does not direct connect to a plug. Oh do not use those cheap $1-3 usb chargers. You could charge with those however it will take 3 years and a day. Hope this helps.
