iPad Car Chargers
If you travel a lot, or are one of those people who regularly forget to charge your iPad, or other mobile device, then you really should consider a modest investment in a mobile charger which works in the power socket of your car. That way you will never be without it for long. There are several car chargers on the market, and one of them is bound to suit your needs. There is nothing more annoying than discovering that you need to charge your iPad while you are driving and these car chargers are the answers to your prayers.
Scosche reVIVE II Dual USB Car Charger for iPad
First off there’s the Sorsche reVIVE II Dual USB Car Charger for the iPad which you can also use when you are at home. You don’t have to buy additional USB cables for it as you can use the ones you already have. The beauty of it is that you can charge all your mobile devices with it and not just your iPad. It can actually charge both the iPad and the iPhone at the same time if you have been remiss enough to let them both run down.
This car charger weighs around a pound, but fits comfortably into the car’s AC outlet, and the LED display actually works reasonably well in bright sunlight, so you can see if it’s working as it should. You don’t have to wait to go into a tunnel to check. The iPhone will charge when connected to the 1 amp USB port and the iPad can be charged from the 2.1 amp one, without causing you any hassle.

Another good buy is the Griffin Technology Power Jolt Power Charger which will happily charge the iPad, iPhone and iPod. This car charger comes with a dock cable which is compatible with all three mobile devices. It is very lightweight, weighing only 3½ ounces, and is also a compact model measuring a mere 2 x 5 x 7 inches. It will charge your devices really quickly and there are no fuses to replace as it is equipped with a SmartFuse which has a built-in re-setting circuit breaker. The cord is durable and shouldn’t need replacing, and what’s good about this Griffin car charger is that you can use your iPad while it is being charged. Not only will it work with the iPad, iPhone and iPod, but it will also charge your other mobile devices such as your mp3 etc. It also goes easy on your car battery and this won’t get too low while you are charging your devices.
Kensington K39224US PowerBolt Micro Car Charger for iPad, iPhone and iPod, including iPhone 4
Last, but certainly not least, there’s the Kensington K39224US PowerBolt Micro Car Charger for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod, which is compatible with the iPhone4. This car charger really lives up to the Micro part of its name as once you get it into the car power socket it fits almost flush and is difficult to remove, or rather you have to be patient with it as you can’t just pull it our, which is a good safety feature. If you just leave it in the socket, then it’s the ideal car charger for your iPad and other devices. It has a detachable USB cable and it enables you to charge and sync your mobile devices. Another good feature is that the outlet turns off with the ignition, so there are no worries about a flat battery. The Kensington car charger is small and compact and weighs only 3.2 ounces and if you can get over the way it fits into your socket, then this is the car charger you’ve been looking for.
