I've heard that chargers that charge very quickly will damage the iPhone battery. Will that happen if I use this portable charger?

So far I haven't had any problems. There's enough juice ( if the charger is charged fully) for 2 full recharges.

No. It does not charge all that quickly. Definitely not faster than a wall charger.

It has a USB and micro USB port so as long as the other end of your iPhone charger has a USB plug in, you should be fine. It does, however, come with a short cord that you won't be able to use with your iPhone.

It won't damage it. But the charger won't last very long. Mine didn't last more than 3 months and I barely used it.

there is different outputs Amps on the charger and yes it WILL charge you phone fast! My S4 usually charges in 4 hrs fully in wall outlet and with this charger, it only takes about 2hr or somewhere there. but i Usually use the wall outlet most of the time since its bad for the phone battery over long period of time to charge it faster than its original speed. I suggest you still use the small Amps output for you iphone but if you are looking for a good charger that is good in all condition and charging speed, this one is it! buy it!

My son had no problem using the charger on his IPhone 4. One reviewer said they cranked it backwards to charge IPhones. We had no problems with the IPhone charging.

It has a micro USB tip which may fit your phone.This charger charged my iPhone only to 40%. If the micro USB fits your phone try "Energizer Instant Charger for Micro USB Mobile Phones". It has 3 batteries instead of the 2 on the Energi To Go.

Yes, iPod/iPhone chargers are actually rated the same so it is safe. Since this is the case, you can actually use your iPod/iPhone chargers to charge the Flip and save yourself some money. I recommend buying a cheap USB extension cable so you don't have to hang the Flip off the charger itself in case it's in an inconvenient location. However, iPad chargers are rated at 2.1 Amps (double what this adapter puts out).

Yes. I take the regular charger (it's NOT the apple quick charger, but the micro USB) when I travel. FYI - you have to take your iPhone out of the case to sync with your computer if you do that.

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. However, using a cheap charger, one that has a timer, can damage the batteries and they always cause them to not last nearly as long. A smart charger measures the voltage among other indicators, to determine when the battery is fully charged. There some really good and/or expensive smart chargers and I have tried a few. Two of my favorites are the Titanium Innovations MD-1600L and the La Crosse BC-500. Both come with a car cigarette plug so it can be used on the go. The MD-1600L also has two USB ports, so I can charge two phones and 16 AA or AAA batteries all at once. Both of these chargers allow you to charge 1 battery at a time or use every slot. I hope this helps someone.

No. As soon as you plug in the charger, your phone/stuff will do an emergency shutdown. All that happens to my stuff atleast.

Yes but it will be slower and you will have to be more precise with its placement on the charging hub/support. It worked for me a while and then not so much..... My wife (to whom i installed it too) had to change batteries as it was "blown" / melted I personally don't recommend this product as I have no use for "a quick fix" I would much rather something that lasts without risking messing up my battery. The decision is yours =) Hope it helps ! Happy Shopping.

The case won't charge the battery until you press the charging button for 3 seconds. Its possible that your iphone battery can die if you don't depress the button. As a rule of thumb, I always allow my batteries to "run down" before charging. This is the only way to exercise your battery to get the most life out. This has been proven in my household as the kids always charge the battery when they get home regardless of the battery level. Mine certainly holds out longer. Hope this helps.

The same time as using the Apple charging adapter. Having a higher current capacity does not mean that the battery will charge any faster, the safe charging rate is set by the power management circuitry in the iPhone. Charging any battery too quickly leads to overheating and possibly a fire. The PowerGen 4.2 does charge two iPads simultaneously. I hope this helps.

Maurice, I do not own any Apple products, so I am not certain about their ports, but I have charged my friend's IPhone 4 pretty fast

I use my USB AC power adapter that I use to charge my iPhone. Haven't had any problems. Here's a link if you don't know what I'm talking abouthttp://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0038HYPZS/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1353808921&sr;=8-8π=SL75
