If a device requires more amperage than the charger delivers, will the device still charge [albeit more slowly]?

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.

With my Android tablet, a too low amperage charger caused it to re-boot repeatedly while plugged in to the charger. This was not good for the device!

Depends. If the device is powered off it will almost always charge (slowly). If it's turned on it might either charge *very* slowly, or not at all, or even still lose charge if you're actually using the device. (You'll see the latter with high-end phones or tablets if you are running a 3D-rendered game -- the device will be using more power than any USB charger can safely deliver, so the battery will slowly drain even if it's plugged in. With a crappy charger this can happen even if the device isn't doing much.)

Yes at least everything I've ever tried. I have a cell charger that only puts out 1 amp and I've used it to charge Kindles, Nooks etc.. I would not try to power the unit with it.

Check the rated output of your charger. I've charged mine with chargers rated from 1 to 2.1 amps. Obviously, it charges faster with more current.

Definitely by using the included wall adapter. It's faster than using any kind of phone charger because the amperage is higher, 1.5 amps

Just compare the amp output on both if one is higher it should charge faster. But I do believe they are the same.

The charger works very well, at 1 Amp and 2.1 Amps. And both together simultaneously also. Your device is a separate issue, and it's function depends on the cord you have and your device's amp requirements.

As far as I know it will work fine. The higher ampere port charges both high and low ampere devices. I used it to charge kindle/ android phone/ iphone/ while charging ipad at the same time. Sometimes I charge two phones at the same time, the higher ampere port charges faster.

That's the total amperage. The device will only use as much as it needs. Short answer: it should work fine.

From their site : " 2.6A output allows you to charge more devices faster & at full rate. " It doesn't specify a per socket or total amperage but I would lean towards the total.

That is difficult to determine. Though a AC charger may state that its output is 1A, for example. This generally means that the charger should meet or exceed the posted output current. So, even chargers of the same model and manufacturer, your charging output will vary. Even so, a charger that can output 1A does not always do so. It depends on the cable and the device also. I have had some chargers which can output 1.5A charge slower than other chargers that ONLY output 1A. So, in short, maximum amperage output does not mean it is the best for charging a specific device.

Yes. The ports correspond to wattage output. Using the wrong port would cause a higher watt device to charge slowly or a lower watt device to overheat.

The AC charger should put out enough amps to charge the phone, but the DC adaptor included in the kit will power it but not charge quickly.

Both the chargers are self regulating depending on the battery voltage so the 5amp charger will charge faster if the battery voltage is low. If you discharge the battery to a low level the 5amp charger is the best solution if you don't discharge the battery to a low voltage condition the two amp charger is fine. To cover all conditions the 5amp is best. Make sure your battery and connector are compatible. Hope this helps

Mine is 28/28 gauge and charges very slowly with 2.4 amp charger, several recent reviewers have said the same. I wonder if older hardware revisions used thicker diameter power wires, as several older reviews extol the low guage/fast charge that they experienced. This is not the ones I recently rec'd

Here you go....get a hand magnifier out and look on your original charger for the amperage (that is the amount of power flowing to re-charge you device). Then you need to purchase a charger with at least that amount of amps. Feel free to "Google" if this doesn't makes sense. My daughter has a Samsung phone and took my charger, so I had to re-purchase this charger and it seems to work fine, but a little slow if I have it on and I am playing an app that has a high power usage. Hope this helps.. I own a Samsung Nexus 10 tablet.

It should be similar to your charger. If you use a two amp port it might be quicker if the device allows it. I have never timed it versus my charger.

This device has two USB charge ports, one for phone devices the other for higher demand devices such as tablets, I utilize it for an IPhone and IPad devices, they charge about as quickly as the original equipment chargers. Which is what it should do, faster charging is usually accomplished with higher voltage and amperage then is required to properly charge the device and possibly damaging the battery in the process. I hope you find this answer helpful.

No not all. I have plugged in multiple 0.5A devices into the 2A port on this charger and I have not observed any overheating. I believe that this unit will compensate for devices that have lower amperage ratings which are plugged into the 2A port...
