Input rating of this device is 1.2 A. Standard iPhone charger output rating is 1.0 A. Will it charge with this charger, or do I need higher output?

Hi, I use different chargers and cables connected to pc's and laptop,s, as I understand it just changes the time it gets to charge the device but you can use it.

It will charge with this charger. I have it plugged into a dual USB charger. One is higher A is for the apple products, the 1.0 A has a micro-USB plugged into it which I use to charge this. Note- it was fully dead and I popped it on the 1.0 A charger before work. Came home after an 8 hour shift, plus factor in driving time and lunch and it was still charging... Almost done.. But still going. This baby takes a while to fully charge but lasts forever once charged

The TR7740 should be producing 1 amp +/-, much like a car phone charger. My only suggestion is to try another cord with your iPhone. As for an Ipad, the newer ones I believe require 2 amps to charge in a reasonable amount of time. I use the TR to charge a Samsung tablet (restarting helps after plugging it in), but it does take overnight, 8 hrs or so.

The newest generation of iPads and iPhones require a higher output USB standard. Older devices will charge fine using the USB out feature of the Solar Battery Charger. Here is part of a Wikipedia article concerning USB ports and standard versus nonstandard devices: "Some devices, when plugged into charging ports, draw even more power (10 watts or 2.1 Amps) than the Battery Charging Specification allows. The iPad and MiFi 2200 are two such devices.[71]." For more information concerning the USB power specifications, here is the link to the full article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#USB_Power_Delivery_specification. Hope this helps!

Apple (Iphone etc) products have their own connectors. This item has micro usb which iphones dont use - they have proprietary connector. I'd check for an adapter or return this and get an apple brand charger. sorry!

I have a couple of these installed, and even though it says 2.1A, my iPhone 6 plus charges at about the same rate as the little 1A charger that comes with the iPhone. In other words it takes about 6 hours to go from 20% to 100%.On the other hand, I have a true 2.1A iPad charger (the big one), and it charges the iPhone in less than 3 hours (20% to 100%). So I am not sure it can truly charge at 2.1A.

The charger will work but the supplied cable will not. You'll need to use your existing USB to 30pin iPhone cable (or purchase a second one). The cable this charger comes with is a USB to lightning cable.

I don't know anything about input ratings but I can say I have charged my iPhone and ipad with this adaptor.

Yes. This charger runs at 2.1 amps per port which is the equivalent to the Apple iPad charger meaning it'll charge at the same speed.

Yes, it does. It works with any USB powered device rated 5VDC, up to 2.1A. There are 2 USB outputs: one is rated 2.1A and one is rated 1A. Use either one to output to charge the iPhone, but you need to use the 2.1A output to charge the ipad.

my ipad charger says 5.4v - 2.4amp. this unit has two USB's one is 1amp and one is 2.1amp output.

Absolutely! It is the best external charger I've found. No problems with compatibility which is important. This is a must have for iphone.

Without being an expert of voltage Victor, I would think the output that is greatest would charge faster. I gotta think that is the cigarette lighter. That being said, my iPhone 5s has been totally drained, and I plugged it into the USB port and I was at 5% in probably 10 minutes. I think in this case the adage "Google is your pal" might be a good way to go. Good luck!

The converter is needed when charging non apple devices in order to enable fast charging. If a charger is iPhone compatible it doesn't adhere to the USB standard and therefore requires this adapter or it won't charge your phone fast enough. It is actually really good of Satechi to include this. Most users will try another Apple compatible device and be disappointed.

Never thought about it but don't recall any outputs. It has an enhanced bass setting but it isn't really very effective. I just got the iPhone 5s and using the adapter I bought it charges but does not play music. Any thoughts on how to correct this if their is a solution.

Nope. Use any port for any item, such as any phones &/or iPads or other tablets. Just do not exceed the 6.2 Amp maximum. Interestingly enough, I discovered that when I went above the max output of the charger it proceeded to charge 2 iPads & 1 iPhone while keeping the third iPad "on hold" until one of the other three items were charged. Then it polished off my phone. Hope this helps. This is the best of 4 chargers I have had. The other thee went into the trash.

You will need standard USB charging cable for iPhone which you take with your iPhone. You can charge every phone with this charger, not just iPhone, but every phone.

I'm not sure. Call the manufacturer. It didn't charge my IPhone the way it was supposed to.
