Why Does My Charger Get Hot When Charging My Ipad

When you use a device for any length of time it ll get warm.

Why does my charger get hot when charging my ipad. 9 driggs aug 11 2012. Wayfaring stranger jun 23 14 at 14 45. My old ipad v1 charger pulls 0 0 watts from the wall when nothing is plugged into it. Grab a flashlight or use the one built into your iphone and take a close look inside your ipad s.

All ipad chargers tend to heat up while charging so unless it is warm to the point of worrying that it will catch on fire i wouldn t worry. This is my 3rd ipad. If it does concern you that much i d take it to an apple store and have them look at it for you. The wider plug thing at the end of the cable don t know what it s called but on the cable there are 2 plugs one goes into the ipad port and the other goes into the wall block port.

If your charger gets too hot to touch or if the plastic surfaces start to warp that does indicate a problem. A lot of the time a dirty charging port will make your ipad charge slowly or in more extreme cases prevent it from charging altogether. I d be suspicious of anything that pulls enough juice to stay warm much less hot when it s not doing anything. There are many reasons why your device might feel warm at times.

Good wall warts are like that. I ll be keeping an eye on it but i think its okay. My choice but every blooming charger gets very hot so not happy. I would be scared to charge and leave unattended.

As you can imagine the ipad charger will charge your device faster than the iphone charger and the usb port on your computer. I end up charging for ten mins stopping let charger cool down charge again. Jenny i think its normal i m a ipad3 newbie too and my charger adapter the part that plugs into the wall gets pretty warm while charging. If you are using the ipad while charging it will get warm but not dangerously so.

The cable itself would never get hot only these parts. Now i noticed the charger was getting pretty hot as well whenever i used my ipad while charging it. Clean out the charging port. Charging and using your device at the same time.
