How do I charge the unit with just my ipad?

USB cable that comes with the unit will connect to your iPad. FYI though, the bluetooth connectivity on my unit was pretty bad. Frequently drops across a large open room. I'd stay away.

You either need to use a USB port on a laptop or you can use the USB connection on your iPad charger to charge your Spartan speaker.

I can't charge anything with my iPad so to answer your question, you can't charge it with your iPad.

not sure what the power is when two devices are plugged in, but I can charge two ipads at the same time...

I'd like to know if the USB port will charge an IN-USE iPad as well. I'd like to to not have to carry the 10 W adapter with me all the time.

The power is delivered to/from the case via a headphone-style jack. There is a USB to stereo cable that allows you to charge it and a stereo to USB receptacle block that allows you to connect your iPad charging cable to draw power out.

No, you can use whatever charging cable your device comes with. You just thread the cable through the side and into the correct slot. I have iPads and MS Surfaces together in this unit.

And you can charge your ipad. The charge cord plugs in the left end , opposite the earphone jack

IPhones and IPads do not natively support Qi charging. I am not sure what mods can be done to allow that on apple devices

I suppose you CAN charge your iPAD Air, as long as you have a cable compatible with the Anker USB hub. I've charged my iPhone using it. I cannot answer the second question about syncing. Sorry.

The manual in the one I received today says "Note: iPad charging is not supported when connected with a computer". I can charge or sync, but not both.

This unit has lightning connectors, so you would have to use the USB port to charge your iPad2.

I don't have an IPad, 2 or otherwise. However, the battery pack just takes the place of a wall charger. Anything you could do with the wall charger, you could do with the battery pack.

you can charge it off any USB port or even the ipad adapter since it is 2.1 amps. I just plug mine in and it starts charging, dont have to push the button. I am using my ipad charger. Doesnt take long to charge. Make sure you are not using the USB port on the battery unit but the micro usb to charge it.

Amy. I use the docking station to charge my iPad and iPhone 5. You use your own connecting cords in the device to charge the phone etc. your cords thread through the docking station and you plug it into the wall as normal. There is a very good tutorial on utube that shows you how to set it up. Barbara

I have had it since Christmas and have not had to charge it other than keeping it connected to my ipad and charging that. I thought they were connected.

You can charge via USB with its microUSB port. What I prefer to do is to use an Apple iPhone charger to trickle charge it slowly, or the larger, 2 amp iPad charger when I predict I'll need it sooner rather than later. Hope this answer helps.

It connects to the earpiece, that's why the iPad is sideways. So you will have to charge both unit separately. Remember it to be used as a portable assesory
