Can this be used in a car to charge an iPad, iPhone, iPond, or even a laptop?

It's designed to be connected to the battery of your vehicle to recharge it. It's not designed to be connected directly to your personal electronic devices for recharging.

I have seen it done and tested it. You need to get one of those 12V to USB converters to protect your device. Contact us to discuss. rich j itc solar

It is designed to charge a 12 volt battery. You would need separate cigarrete lighter style charging equipment for your device

No, it's a wall charger. The only way you could use it in your car would be if you had an AC/DC adapter.

Should be fine just need a USB converter to charge it. I powered a dual USB and can power iPhone and iPad with this.

I'm no expert, but I don't think so. First, this charger is excellent but it still takes a few hours to fully charge a laptop or iPad. So you'd be looking at a very long time for a car battery. Secondly, the charger adapters are designed for household electronics. I suppose someone more handy than myself might find a way to make it work and then if you had lots of time... I like the idea, though. Good luck!

Yes, but it only provides 5 volts/500mA of power to an external USB-powered device. So you understand what that means: iPad charger is 2.4 this one is .5 Pack your patience...lol. But this was not really meant for that. Its power and strength lay in the 500Amps of kick it can give your car battery.

sure it can, but I do not think charging an ipad more than once is possible with this little thing.

Yes. It can be charged by a DC source in your car or by the AC adapter provided with the device.

Yes, but not all cell phones. It will not charge an iPhone, or probably any other smart phone. It will charge a dumb phone, like people used a decade ago. It has a cleverly hidden USB port for phone charging.

I'm pretty sure you can, I charge my iPad on it all the time, I pretty much live in my car

I believe so. I've used it to charge my Ipad 4th generation, my Iphone 5S, a blackberry curve, amongst other things.

Probably won't. My Iphone 4S shows the message that this device won't support recharging. I believe it provides that absolute minimum of charge to operate the iPhone. In fact, it does recharge some if completely off and it takes many hours in an operating car (i.e while driving) to charge up the phone only partially. If my phone has depleted its charge, it will take at least 20 minutes in the operating vehicle to be able to power up. Hence, since an iPad has even greater power requirements, I would say this car charger will not work.

It will only recharge a cellphone, kindle, ipod touch, it will charge an ipad or tablet but not fully (about fifty percent). it could charge a laptop but it would be much of a charge. As for cable it comes with about a dozen usb connectors that willl hook up to any usb cable. If you want to charge a laptop you might want to look for a larger solar power charger. try something like the Nature Power 55080 80-Watt Folding Monocrystalline Solar Panel and Laptop Charger they also have some chargers a good deal cheaper but just as good. hope this was helpful. good luck!

Absolutely. I use this to charge both an ipad and my samsung galaxy s4. I love this thing, my gf doesn't bug me about my phone being off anymore.

yep, I would guess it would work just fine. We charge Ipad 2, Ipad mini and 2 Iphone 5s at the same time, various length cords.

It should be able to power an iPod. its not enough for an iPad though. It says very clearly the max output is 1A, so if a 5W power supply is enough for you then it'll work. *I* use it for all the low power gear on the motorcycle.

I use a standard USB cable with the Apple power block and it does charge the iPad. It will not charge with a generic car power adapter. I am able to use the Apple AC power block in my RV by using an AC inverter.

I do not know for sure. This thing is only designed to charge things like Iphones and Ipods and other related smart phones and MP3 players.
