Can an old iPad charger provide 5V and 2A output?

I have a device which needs to use a USB adaptor with an output of 5 volts and 2 amps. Just wondering if this old Ipad charger would have those specs? The writing on the bottom is faded so I can’t tell from the charger itself. Thanks.

Right, thanks. This isn't for charging an iPad, it's for another device which stipulates 5V, 2A and no more. My concern would be if it is a 6th gen. charger and it puts out 5.2/2.4 which might potentially damage the device. I may have had a 3rd gen. in between the 1 and the 6 - can't actually remember! So it could even belong to that one..


Anyway I'll look up the specs for that charger as well just to be on the safe side.
