4 amp charger for iPad 3
Hi !
Do you think a4 ampcharger for iPad 3couldspeed up the charging time?
It's dangerous. Ipad support ?

Best charger to use with you new iPad 3 is the one that
came with it.
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
iPad use 2,1 amps charger. Not 1 amp: 5volt * 2,1 amps = 10,2 watts
Theorically, it should not be any danger. 5 volt * 4,2 amps = 20,8 watts
In theory, it's voltage can be problematic.
The amp is the flow.
Question: Does iPad supports 4 amps ?
The iPhone accept 2 amps charger's iPad !
Thank's
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
I believe that Apple provides a 10 watt charger to save $$$$.
I always use the chager's iPad for my iphone and ipod
I'm septic.
I would like to test it.
Thank's
I know that using the iPad charger on my phone carges the phone faster than if I use the one that came with the phone.
IF the charger has been manufactured properly, it absolutely positively will not harm the iPad but that's one heck of a big "IF," especially since a 4A charger will not provide any benefit whatsoever. 4A is capability, not actual charge current. The iPad circuitry determines the actual current.

Are you willing to risk voiding your warranty and damaging your iPad to prove it?
Come on. I'm not gonna do math after 48 hours of no sleep. I do know though that higher amped 3rd party chargers do damage devices. I repair them all the time.
Oh and its not the amps that kill it. It's the leaky compacitors that spike the voltage beyond 5 volts

It's not the amerage capability that causes the damage. It's poor design and/or manufacturing techniques.
Hence why I said compacitors that leak excess voltage.

Agreed. I posted before I saw your comment. My position is that even lower-amperage devices can cause damage if poorly designed and/or manufactured.
In my experience unless it's approved by apple it may damage your device voiding the warranty. If it is approve by apple even if the charger damages it its covered.
