Portable Charger

I'm used to people calling AC power adapters "chargers", and "portable" sounds like something easy to take. So that was my assumption of what the OP meant. As an electrical engineer that just drives me crazy but I accept that it's the norm these days.

Even if it's a portable battery pack, most seem to have USB power output ratings. Most of mine are 1A, but I've got one with separate 1A and 2.1A outputs, and one with 2.1A.

For the original poster, I don't think it really matters. Your device will use whatever it can get up to its regulated maximum current. The important thing is that the source power is high quality and that you use an approved cable. Some cables are junk and have weird issues with power.

What is the mAh rating for this charger?

What charger has a mAh rating? I think the OP said 2.1A (aka 2100 mA) output. Should be fine for most iPads.
