Hawcara Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 We don't have solar panels on the van. However as we will be spending days on Aires, I wondered if anyone could recommend a cheap suitcase type charger to fulfill this purpose to trickle charge an iPad. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sshortcircuit Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 For all the energy an iPad needs a cigarette type charger should be adequate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the general Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Correct in fact Apple do their own 12 volt charging lead, very useful works very well you got to pay Apple prices but don't be tempted for substandard leads non Apple . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawcara Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 Thank you. Looked at Apple lead and thought it was expensive, but grateful for the clarification. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sshortcircuit Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 When in Spain I damaged the charge lead for my iPad mini. I took the power supply and iPad with me and tried 5 outlets before I could get one to work. I had tried a cheap one I had brought from the UK and it did not work. Unfortunately it's typical Apple where they charge extortionate prices. Pirate copies do work, but try before you buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the general Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Basically you get what you pay for , I have heard of cheap leads melting trying to charge equipment from the 12 v socket , let's face it you either an apple fan or not . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
