Hi Reggie,
I have used a couple of the external battery pack charging units on both my iPhone and iPad Mini. With the new iPad, the iPad Mini, and the iPhone 5, you need to use the Lightning cable that comes with all of those devices. I haven't seen a charging unit (with the exception of the charger that is included with those devices) that includes the lightning cable. Therefore, you need to insert the small end of the lightning cable into the iDevice and the other end with the USB connection into the USB port of the external charger. If you are going to purchase the larger iPad you will need to buy an external battery pack charger that is at least 55 miliamps. If you purchase the Mini iPad or the iPhone, you can probably get away with an external battery charging unit that is 28 miliamps. But, I would go with the more powerful charger because it will charge a device faster. I have also used my charging units to charge the new Humanware Stream and my Brailliant BI. Those charging units are great.

The external charger you have will charge your iPad, but depending on the charger's capacity it may or may not fully charge it. Certainly you'll get fewer charges of your iPad with the external battery before needing to recharge it than you will get chargers of the iPhone. The battery life of the iPad and iPad Mini is really impressive.

Is there a difference in battery life between the iPhone and iPad? Curious mostly. Right now I have a 4s. When I upgrade in December the hole for the charger will change. I have an exterior battery pack I bought that has a mini-usb to charge it and 2 USB slots for devices for charging. Do I need an adapter? Will I be able to use it for the iPad? Thanks in advance for your assistance. Reggie and Allegra -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
