ipad charger cord question

I have one of these USB charging cables for my DROID Cellphone. It normally plugs into a 120VAC ADAPTER for charging my DROID CELL PHONE battery. Also one of my TABLETS gets charged this way as well...


I can also plug this into any of my four USB 12VDC charge ports in my F150 truck to charge my DROID CELLPHONE battery.

I have also plugged this into my COMPUTER USB port and I see my battery CHARGE DISPLAY on the DROID working normal...

This is also the same port I can use to download and listen to AUDIO PORTS from my DROID and TABLETS from my Truck Radio System

I can't say I have ever left my DROID on this COMPUTER USB port for a continuous battery charge but during the short times I am using it it does show the charge display being active...

Ihave an ipad Air tablet, purchased earlier this year. I'm curious about the cord that runs from the charger to the ipad. One end of the cord is a standard USB plug. I've never tried plugging it into my laptop out of concern I might damage something. Can this cord be safely inserted into the USB port on my laptop, and for what purpose? Thank you for your assistance.

if it is the cord that came with your iPad you can use that cord to charge or sync the iPad to iTunes. to charge, plug the standard USB connector into a USB2 or newer port on your PC or MAC or get a standard USB-to-AC outlet adapter and charge that way. periodically syncing your iPad to iTunes on your PC or MAC will ensure that you can always restore your iPad should something go poof in the night.

Yes, it is safe to use in your laptop, amd as Fizz pointed out, it can be synced through iTunes on your PCI or Mac this way, but won't charge from a computer.

Yes. It is a standard usb connection.

Did you ever read the manual?
That's how you connect with iTunes on your PC to do full backups.
It will not charge the iPad as the voltage is to low.
