Will it have enough power to charge the iPad? If it's the regular 5v then it won't work just like your normal PC USB connection, will it?

What is ctn units? So this thing come in 20pcs? Can't brain this. ipad can charge by laptop. Just off your ipad and connect to laptop. It will charge. Only slow cause laptop USB produce 500mA or 5w compare your ipad charger 10w.

Just a word of advice. If you want to get external battery for iPad (1 & 2), make sure it is designed to charge iPad. In other words, it must have enough power output. Normal USB chargers only give out between 500mA to 1A. iPad has recommended value at 2.1A for charging at full speed. I would recommend Hyperjuice (mini - 7200mAh / micro - 3600mAh), both have max output 10W (2.1A, 5V). Price wise at retail, mini cost about USD100 and micro cost about micro about USD70. Problem is I do not know if you can find them anywhere in the shops in Malaysia yet. Maybe have to order from oversea. Just now googled and found this online shop in Malaysia have them - a bit pricey though: Hyperjuice products at www.m3shoppe.comThis post has been edited by joshting: Jun 17 2011, 12:26 PM

Container Unit"This is a known issue. Apparently, some computers do not have USB ports powerful enough to charge the iPad while it is running. This is because the iPad requires such a large amount of power to operate when compared to most USB devices. Apple's solution is to turn the iPad into sleep mode while it is connected. This should allow it to charge via a weak USB port."

Carton is the name of certain types of containers typically made from paperboard which is also sometimes known as cardboard. Many types of cartons are used in packaging. Sometimes a carton is also called a box.
