Re: Status Item
It's called trickle charging and it does not quite meet the threshold that trips the status bar icon.

Re: Status Item
iPads require 10 watts and the USB port on a computer only delivers five watts. However, apparently it is possible for the iPad to charge, but very slowly. This of course is not the most effective or recommended way to charge the iPad.

Re: Status Item
Hi Kerry, I'm pretty sure an iPad can't charge off a computer, or if it does, it happens very slowly. It requires more power than an iPHone, which is why this doesn't work well.

Re: Status Item
Hello all I think this is normal as the iPad requires more power than the USB hub can supply due to the big battery. Christopher Hallsworth On 19/05/2012 18:02, K. F.
