Takes 4+ hours to charge the ipad (0-100%) via Wall Adapter

It's got a big tank. Takes longer to fill.

Can somebody confirm that We CANNOT charge the ipad on the usb... thanks

Charges (although more slowly) on both my 13" unibody MacBook and my PC

The USB charging problem comes from the iPad requiring 1000ma to charge.
USB ports normally only supply 500ma, the wall adapter is 10watts or 2000ma @ 5v (standard USB voltage)

That's pretty good, I sleep longer than that so I won't notice it at all.

This battery is so awesome I haven't had the chance yet to charge my iPad...

Without watching much video video, I get almost 3 full days out of it.

I never knew it took 4 hours, but that makes cents. Q.Q

I just use it all day and put it on the dock at night flashing pictures, and its fully charged in the morning. The more I read these boards the less geeky I feel.

Thanks!

Mine was taking much longer than 4 hours to charge.... Then I realised I had been using my iPhone charger all along.......!!!
