What happens if non-apple devices are plugged into the A ports? Will it still supply 1 or 2 amps when appropriate?

When I plug another device into the A port, I notice a drastic difference in the charge. Yes it will still charge, but doesn't look to be quick. If I plug my apple devices into the NA port, it moves at a snail pace or won't charge at all. What would be 15-20% in 5 mins... is more like maybe 5% in 15-20mins. I would stick to plugging things into the appropriate port for optimal charge. I believe they have a model that only has A ports and/or only has NA ports.

bueno puertos con 1 o 2 amperes es carga lenta de 2 o mas amperes mas tencion equibalente a mas poder mira los puertos de 3.4. o 5 amperes son para tablets o celulares de procesadores quad o de cuatro nucles o para cargar baterias de 1500 miliamperes lo mas rapido. no importa que dispositibo sea . 1 o 2 amperes es para dispositibos chicos como bluetooths memorias o halgo asi

If a device requires 2 amps to charge, but you only supply 1 amp, it will not charge, and it, the device will strain the charger, possibly damaging it. This is dependent on the battery type, charging circuit etc.It's best to have more available current than needed.

No. It will charge 2 iPads OR 2 iPhones. Apple devices have higher amperage requirements than Android

Yes and no. Each port can deliver up to 2.4amps. The non-Apple port can deliver 2.4amps to any Android or other non-Apple device that needs it. The Apple port can deliver 2.4amps to iPads. However, the total number of amps is 2.4, not 4.8. (We know this because it's a 12 watt plug, and watts = amps * volts.) So, if you have 2 devices charging, the maximum current will still be 2.4amps, split between the two devices. Any device that uses less current (e.g., 0.8amps) will use less. These statements assume that you have the proper cable.

Not sure about amps, but I have found that it will charge my iPhone, but not my iPad. Also, will run two 2.5" external drives (not ssd, which should run on less power) with no problem. Another user claims 7 external drives. I have a WD Scorpio Black drive and a Seagate FreeAgentGo drive attached and running flawlessly while the Satechi is plugged in.

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!

Oh, yes! The labeled ipad port have 2.1. If your another brand device needs 2.1 amp or less, you can use the port!

Yup! The Power Supply has two plugs: One made for Apple Products (marked "A") and one not made for Apple Products (marked "NA"). The NA port does not charge the iPad, just maintains the power level. However, the NA port charges everything else. The A port charges an iPad really well. The charge seems to be a bit quicker than with the standard charger, but that might just be perception.

There are two 2 amp USB ports and two 1 amp USB ports. The 2 amp port *should* equal the native Apple charger's amperage but you can look at the Apple charger's technical specifications to be sure. It will not harm your device. It is not a Smart-charger (5v or 16v) like the Asus VivoTab uses.

Remember, this is a 4 amp unit. That means that any single device which needs less than 4A to charge, will be charged.... as long as that is the only device attached. If you have other devices attached, they will be drawing some current, usually up to 900 mA for a USB3 device... sooo something like an iPad may not be able to draw enough current. Most other devices should be ok.

Maurice, I do not own any Apple products, so I am not certain about their ports, but I have charged my friend's IPhone 4 pretty fast

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").

Some Apple devices require higher amperage. Plugging an Android device on the Apple port should still work, but the device may think it is plugged into a computer USB port and revert to the minimum 0.5 amperage power draw resulting in much slower charging. This happens much less often these days but is still a possibility. Plugging an Apple device into the non-Apple port will likewise still work, but it will probably not charge as fast as the dedicated Apple port.

Device has standard 5V 1Amp and 2.1Amp outputs. If you have an adapter USB to Apple and the Apple device will take either of the two outputs you should be OK. Device stays charged for a long time without significant discharge. Longest I have had without discharge is 4 months.

This is just a high-capacity charger with 2 USB slots. It's not Apple specific. Though I haven't tried it, I don't see a reason why it wouldn't charge Apple products in either slot.

Works fine. The 2 amp outlet is for the iPad. The other is for your phone. Be sure you have the right cable for your iPad. Some only work for phones and can't handle the higher amperage of the iPad. The apple cables always work, or get one that says good for an iPad.

I found the ports with the 1 on them charge my ipad mini just fine. It would not charge on the G ports. I had no problem charging ipod or iphone on any of them (2 of each).
