Does it use AC current? Does an ipad 3rd generation fit on top?

Yes it uses AC current and I only have an IPod so I don't know about the IPad.

It doses use AC current - plugs into a standard 110V outlet. I don't think you can get Pad in the 30 pin dock though. you may need an adapter cable.

Yes it uses ac current. Don't know about 3rd generation iPad. All I know is it fits a 4th generation iPod.

I use it plugged in at the wall. I dont know about the ipad since I dont have one

In a word, "No". It is designed to work with the smaller (iphone, androids) devices that don't draw as much current. This could charge an ipad slowly with the screen off but it does not have the capacity to fully charge an ipad or the amperage to "push" the electricity into the ipad at reasonable speed. You will need a battery with "2.1 amps" port and at least "12,000 mah" to fully charge a ipad 3 from 0%.

These chargers are rated at 5 and 10 watts, not amps. That means that the Apple adapters supply about 1 amp for iPhone and about 2 amps for iPad (or 3 amps for the latest, larger Apple power adapters). This Cooper outlet is rated at 2.1 amps for the USB ports, so that's about ~10 watts (2.1 amps x 5 volts). An iPad should charge fine, but might not charge quite as quickly as Apple's larger 15W (3 amp) power adapter. In my experience, a 3rd-gen iPad takes about 4 hours to fully charge using a 2.1 amp USB adapter.

It has a standard 12v outlet and a standard USB outlet. It charges my iphone5 but not sure about an iPad.

i use it primarily for my IPHONE and it works well. It does charge the IPAD but not as effectively as an electrical outlet.

Yes, I have an Air and it works fine, when my daughter doesn't steal it to use with her 3rd Gen.

As I don't have one to test it out on, honestly dont know. But if it as finicky as the apple products are to any fluctuation of light on the panels and considering the size similarity with the iPads in power requirements, I think that you will want to consider a power bank to charge up rather than off the panels directly with the added benefit of not being tied to the panels except as last resort in emergencies , where it WILL briefly run it enough if you need to just email or contact someone in the field, is how my setup is here, and is why my review was so, was aware of the shortcoming of the panel from start after checking reviews and adjusted setup accordingly, which worked great from get go here. The characteristic of panels is because of the panels being monocrystalline, which means more power in a more compact size for portability is the trade-off with being more sensitive to shadows and indirect sunlight. All that being said, have charged iPod up to +%20 before when it was possible before the above became an issue which the power banks tend to be less susceptible to and can say it does quite well.

The hub has one high output power port on the side, that uses the AC adapter. The other 3 ports seem to run power through the main line without the AC adapter. How much power are you going to need to run you Hard drive, I don't know. I do know that my iPad only will charge with the power plugged in and it hooked into the high output port.

It has the same battery as an iPad, so you might try a 2.1 amp charger if you haven't already. Overall I'm not thrilled with the product, and took mine apart to see what was inside after it stopped charging(my 4th failed newtrent product in 2 years.)

I own an iPad 3. The built in usb port charges just fine, the tablet is indicating that it is charging with the screen on.

The maximum output current of this USB port is 1500mA (I know because I measured it) although Monster web site says 1000mA. So it will charge up your iPad slowly even if the iPad is on.

Sorry but I do not know the answer to that question.I do know that this was the highest amperage charger that I found.This will serve your needs very well without over charging ur ipad.

I am not sure, I don't own an Ipad. I can say that mine does not charge using the solar cells, it will only charge using the wall adapter.

Yes you still need to plug it in, the arc is just a cradle for the iPad. Also if you have a cover on the iPad, it doesn't fit real snug?!

If your question is, dose it plug into the wall (110VAC). Yes it does. That powers both the internal amplifier for its speakers, and the iPad's charger interface.

The charging has nothing to do with the cable (given it's Apple certified), but instead the AC/DC adapter being used (ie, what the USB end is plugged into). Note, there is a maximum your device will be able to utilize anyway, so eventually the larger AC/DC adapter will not improve the charge rate. This cable will charge at EXACTLY the same rate as the OEM cable, as it's specified as 24AWG which is sufficient to support the 2.2A of max current for an iPad without a appreciable drop over the 3 feet.EDIT: Edited to be more clear and accurate.
