Need a usb hub for this generator. to charge multiple Ipads/Iphones. the ones I tried ( they work on a computer ) wouldn't charge from this generator

Because you devices negotiate with the computer they are allowed to draw more than 1/2 amp. A "Charging USB Port" will only supply 1/2 amp and will shut down if overloaded. Try one device at a time. From Wikipedia " The USB Battery Charging Specification Revision 1.1 (released in 2007) defines a new type of USB port, called the charging port. Contrary to the standard downstream port, for which current draw by a connected portable device can exceed 100 mA only after digital negotiation with the host or hub, a charging port can supply currents between 500 mA and 1.5 A without the digital negotiation. A charging port supplies up to 500 mA at 5 V, up to the rated current at 3.6 V or more, and drops its output voltage if the portable device attempts to draw more than the rated current. The charger port may shut down if the load is too high."

Its not a hub, that is it does not allow you to connect multiple USB devices to a single USB port. Its only a charging station, allowing you to connect power to 4 devices that charge via a USB port (2x1amp, 2x2amp devices)

Yes - "Two high-powered USB charging ports with 3.6 Amps of charging capacity" I bought this and have no issue charging two of anything (including ipads) - love the product!

I've got them all over the house and I haven't found a USB device they won't charge yet. I can tell you they successfully charge various smartphones, wireless speakers as well as the larger iPad that requires 2 amp power bricks. On a side note, we had an electrician over for something unrelated and he loved them. He said it's the best USB wall plug he's used yet.

This is about a cheap of a hub as you can get. It even got warm to the touch with the adapter it came with, so I'm sure using a higher power adapter would fry it. I suggest spending the money for a good quality usb 3.0 hub.

I tried charging both my Itouch and my Ipad in the hub but neither one of them will charge if only plugged into this hub. The response I get is "charging is not supported with this accessory".

it charged my iphone, but not my ipad. Interestingly, after testing this out, the mouse & keyboard I have plugged into it stopped functioning. Solution: unplug USB hub from laptop and plug back in. Working fine now.

USB outlets are marked 1A(upper) and 3A(lower) BUT the total is limited to 3.1A.So one at a time you can charge any iPad or iPhone BUT since iPad Air requires 2.4A may have a problem combining with another device. Earlier iPads may not be a problem combining since they require less amperage.

The idea you put forward can be realized to some extent. This hub generally could charge devices like your iphone or android phones through the usb 3.0 port. But some special devices like ipad or Samsung PAD will fail. After all the ordinary usb ports are not equal to charging ports.

I suspect that you could plug one of the USB cable into an external power source. The question is, "which one"! I would suggest trying the plug on the end to your computer first, then the 2nd plug, (the one with the short lead), to the power source. However, if this does not work, then swap the 2..... One of the plugs is for power only, (no data line in that one)..... However, when all else fails, add a cheap, 2 or 4 port "active" hub to your computer, then plug a couple of your other USB devices to the HUB.... This can cost less than $20.00 This wireless adapter works so well, adding a small hub still makes this adapter the ONLY way to go wireless!

As per information on the box, it can charged iPad as it can give the power for 2.1A. But please keep in mind that it needs the power for the hub also, cannot use only usb power.

I use this purely as a charger not as a USB hub. The key is being BC 1.1 compliant. I charge an iPad and iPad mini at the same time. It can pump 2.5 amps max across all ports. It will charge all 4 devices at normal USB rates but if you only hook up 2 devices they should both charge twice as fast! (1000 mA rate)

Not the one I got, the USB adapter cord may be useable on usb outlets from local hubs or converters. I ended up giving this to someone who had smoked their charger after a power outage.

Yes, I bought one and use it to power a USB hub that my printers are connected to. Works great, no problems

The pedal generator would not charge my lap top, but it and the handheld generator would charge my phone. I don't know if there are solid state parts in them, the K-tor company would be able to tell you I would think.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thanks for asking! This hub is not designed to charge devices that require special charging signals, like iPhones/iPads, Android phones/tablets, etc.

It has one USB port and one 12 volt port. I suspect that you can use a hub to create more USB ports but I don't know for sure since I use my Nomad primarily to charge my auxiliary camper battery rather than as a USB charging source.
