"Since the iPad only draws 1 amp(10watts) it may cause the capacitors the leak excess voltage. Conclusion A 4 amp chager may cause a voltage spike destroying the iPad. I would suggest using the adapter that came with the IPad."


no this is 100% wrong


it's 5volts and watt == volt * amps


so ipad draws 2 amps

and it's draws! not being feed


it draws the amps out of the charger as much as it require

if the charger is able to supply 4amps or 40MEGA amps dont mean anything at all


it's all down to ohms law


volt spikes have nothing to do with how much amp a device can supply

I doubt it


it will draw as much amps as it is made to draw

when more is drawn the volts automaticly starts to lower


so if it was able to support higher amps then they had to supply a

measuring the volt levels at charging times to adjust it's internal resistence

to make sure it didn't draw too much so the volt levels would get too low


doubt apple would include that system when their chargers only supply 10watt
