Will my IPad Air charge when plugged into this hub?

Not totally sure, but I think it will because this is the same as any powered USB port.

It will not plug directly in the port. You will need to use a 30-pin to lightning adapter or a usb to lightning cable (which I have used with the iPad Air)

No, it probably will not charge. I have a 3rd generation iPad that I bought it to use with my speaker dock and it will transfer the audio, but it will not charge the iPad.

Hello A Miller, unfortunately I had connected my brand new "iPad Air" into this awesome device (Anker USB HUB) to charge it. Let me brake it down for you. Apparently it seems that this device will not support enough power to charge such a device (iPad Air). Please note that I tried this while both (PC + USB HUB Power Adapter) were connected to the Anker HUB, and never displayed a message that it would be charging (on my iPad Air). Realize this, I am testing this with an "iPad Air". Just another thing. It will NOT charge any device if is not plugged in to a PC, and the PC is turned off. Don't know why, but it seems that it runs on some sort of activation mode from PC detection. Hope this helps. "My own personal experience"

I can't say I've tried it. My guess: yes, but very slowly. It's labeled ipad on one charging pad only. I haven't taken the trouble to verify that the other pad gets lower current draw. BTW ipad air charges faster and easier than older ipad, it might make a difference which one you're using

Yes. All the ports have 5V out and 2 ports have up to 2A out. Your ipad 4 will charge normally on the 2A ports. It will charge slower than normal on the 1A ports.

Per the product description "This 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub will not charge an iPad (it will only sync)." That makes sense. If you want your device to charge or you want to run multiple external hard drives off of a USB hub, you are actually looking for a different product. A powered USB hub is what you are looking for.

Yes you can charge it. There is a little flap that opens up to reveal the iPad's charging port.

I don't know power the output, but I do know that an iPad Mini will NOT charge when it's plugged into the Dock

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.

Not sure about the iPad Air. Works on my new Retina iPad Mini and iPhone 5s with no problems. Had to download Asus ai charger to be able to get enough power to use with my laptop USB ports.

The Satechi 4 Port Aluminum hub will not charge an iPad (it will only sync). You may consider exchanging for the Satechi 10-Port USB 3.0 Hub (9 Port USB 3.0 + 1 iPad Charging Port) 5 Volt, 5 Amp which can charge an iPad. For further assistance, please email support@satechi.com.Thank you,Satechi Technical Support

I use the USB charging cable that comes with the keyboard and connect it to the AC wall adapter that comes with the iPad Air to charge my keyboard. Works fine every time.

I just tried it, and couldn't get it to work. The iPad didn't recognize that it was plugged in until I plugged the hub into my computer. Then it woke up and said, "Not Charging". I guess the hub doesn't deliver enough current. I was kind of surprised, since it powers my raspberry pi just fine.

It will not work with iPad Air. It's setup with the old adapter, not the new small port.

It comes a USB charger that will plug into your computer but will also plug into the IPad Air wall hub that the USB cable that your IPad Air plugs into. So yes, you can use your IPad Air wall hub to turn the cable that comes with the keyboard into a wall unit.
