Is there a way to charge the ipad and use the Bad Elf at the same time?

The BE GPS device comes with a special cable that let you charge the iPad while using the BE GPS, in house and car. Don't use an iPhone charger, use only an iPad charger!

Mine seems to do that but the iPad wire to the bad elf is funky and won't stay plugged in

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.

As far as I know, if you have the charger cord plugged into the Bad Elf whilst it is connected to the iPad, you will be charging the iPad. However, it is in that exact configuration that I experienced an overheat shutdown with my 1st gen iPad while descending towards my destination airport. While I carry my Bad Elf, I don't use it. I've noticed that the GPS reception with my iPad 4 is better than the old machine- it consistently works in an airline seat (old one did not) as well as in private plane cabin. The newer Bad Elf has a datalogging feature that may be worthwhile, however.

Yes you can. I bought a couple of these chargers. I have an iPhone 5 and the original iPad. I use this to charge them both. The other charger is in the family room where we charge iPads, touches, iPhone4's, pretty much anything that can be charged through a USB. Works great.

I charged my iPad twice with no problem. That was the most I used it between charges. It may have charged it again but I did not try.

The little box plugs directly to the bottom of the iPad. There are two skinny cables that connect to the keyboard. The one issue is that there's no way to charge the iPad while it's plugged in to the keyboard

Yes it will charge both at the same time-- it has both a USB charger for the ipad2 and a microUSB cord for the phone.

Yes it can! It has two outputs, one a higher amperage than the other, and both can run at the same time. Just remember to use the right output for the ipad and the left for the iphone to charge them in about the same amount of time, because of how much bigger the iPad's battery is.

I've never tried that, But I would think it would work like other devices with two outputs, like my Ipad will charge when I plug it into my computer. I would think the charger would work the same way. It's a great charger I couldn't get along without it now.

I am sorry I don't know on that but my best guess is just use the aux cord in the back and connect all ur systems to a emulator I think it's called and hook ur iPad to that and use it like that my best guess is but I can be wrong so try at ur risk of success or failure have a nice day

Yes. The ideal configuration would be to plug the iPhone into the Android port and the iPad into the Apple port to get the best charging rates out of each. If you switch them. the iPad will only charge at 1.5A instead of 2.4A; the iPhone will charge at 1.0A on either port. Refer to the charging rates table from the instruction manual here:http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/permalink/mo3VX0O0HFWDE19/B00B8L36A6/

No. The base is constructed so that one iPad and one iPhone can be charged at the same time. Another option is that two iPhones could be charged at the same time.

I try to use the ipad and tablet for my higher powered devices, but have also used whatever available cord at times. I've not had any issues with "mixing" them up. I many times have a Kindle Fire HDX, Samsung Galaxy phone and the gps charging at the same time and haven't looked at which was plugged in where. They all charged just fine. I gave one to my son for Christmas and they do not have an ipad, but two phones and gps and kindle fire - and it works on any cord for them as well.

Since this uses AC Power, you can charge multiple devices, including multiple Mac book airs. If by Apple configurator, you mean iTunes, yes you can configure while charging.

I ordered one and it has two USB ports, HOWEVER, I have been unable to charge two devices simultaneously (I tried with iPhone and iPad and was unsuccessful).

Yes, you can.This is exactly the same as connecting it to any other power source using a usb cable: for example, if you connected the iPad to the charging block plugged into an electrical outlet. You could continue your use of the iPad without interruption in either case.

I cannot attest to charging the Ipad, I only use it as an Flashlight which I believe is a very useful and important tool for emergency's. I would buy another if i could afford it,. CR

Try plugging into the very first USB post nearest connection, if still won't charge then indicates that your iPad's fire-wire require direct plug into power source, if using thru the secondary USB won't charge.

I've never charged an ipad but I have charged my phone and nexus tablet. It is a powered usb device so it shouldn't have a problem charging anything.
