Any opinions on if it would be okay to charge this device with a standard iPhone power brick (5v 1A)? I know the literature says to charge it at 5v 2Amp

I am not sure. You can try New Trent Support Center for that question. I looked up the product there before purchase.

Yes, it should be okay. I use a 5v 1A charger to charge from the wall, as well as my laptop's USB port, and both the approaches have worked well.

I sent mine back. It didn't charge my iPhone in a reasonable time. Couldn't see keeping it. Sorry.

I've charged 1amp devices in the 2.1amp outlets with no problems. I have. Blackberry which will not charge off the 2.1amp outlets for some reason but no damage has been done to the device

I've tried to charge it with the wall jack that came with my iPhone 4s. The light blinks for a few minutes (indicating that it's charging), but then stops and doesn't continue to charge. So I have to either plug it into my computer or use my husband's samsung chargers to work. Not sure why this is.

perfectly, my boss has some non-apple "approved" lightning connectors and they are a problem for charging. I'm not having any issues with it charging, but that it only gives 1 good plus about 20% more charge. My Mophie almost does the same thing and it is 2200 mAh. If you are not afraid of dropping it regularly (only the bottom sides give true protection) then this is a great product. Works as advertised. Charges quickly.

You can power/charge it from a usb connection. I was using an old iPhone charger.

it just cannot be charged. It always keep out of power. When I charged it the lights blink all the time. But no power in it and I cannot use it to charge my iphone.

Jon, To be honest I didn't look at the reviews till after I bought it. Which is dumb, my charger charges my iphone 5 from 0-100% and then some more it is really reliable, despite what others have said. I hope that helps.

didnt really use it after reading that it was better to use the 12 plug that have a 1amp, outlet specific to the iphone. from what i have read they do charge faster but can shorten the life of the battery, besides i didnt like the fact that it doesnt have a light on it to let you know that it is plugged in securely.but im sure its a good plug. i just like having a light on them.

It is like a charging brick. You have to charge IT, either with a usb cord or on a powermat (sold separately) then you can take it with you to charge your phone or whatever. There are Apple and micro cords attached to the brick that you just plug into your phone. Very nice because it isn't exclusive to one thing (e.g., you can charge any micro usb phone.) I used to use a mophie juice pack for my iPhone 4 (until I switched phones). It is also a very nice item you might consider.

You could. You charge the device with the cord provided, into any standard charger's USB connection (I use my iPhone charger). Since you would need to plug your phone charger into a converter, you could do the same with this.

I didn't have any issues charging it,I had Iphone 5 it worked fine, now with Iphone 6 plus also it works fine, if it doesn't work just send it back for replacement.

I charge it using my Moto X charger. So, I will assume you could use an iPhone charger also. Perhaps someone have used an iPhone charge, but I don't own an iPhone so I cannot confirm that it will work.

I use it to charge an iPhone 5 without any error messages. It should be fine.

I had issues with the 1amp ports if I was charging an item that was left powered on, ranging from an older model ipod (2nd get I think) to a mobile wifi device and a Galaxy Gear watch. The 2 am ports on the other hand seemed to charge everything I threw at them, and if the device was turned off then it owuld charge on the 1amp fine. For some reason most devices would register the 1amp ports as a USB connection like plugging into a computer.

It will charge it just fine! I use this exact charger on my MacBook, MacBook Pro 13", an MacBook Pro 15" Retina. Having more wattage is okay, it's having not enough where the problem lies. If I recall, 15" and 17" MBP require 85w whereas the MBP 13" require 60w. The MBP 13" will only take as much power as it needs, so it won't be the full 85w. This is similar to when your iPhone can charge using the iPads 2.1a charger AND the supplied iPhone .5a charger. The iPhone only draws as much power as needed.

Well, all I can say is that I use it with an Anker battery pack, which says 1.5A input current. As far as I know these new chargers, which output via a USB connector, establish sort of connection with a device being charged. And the device itself will only take whatever it is capable of. So it's not like the charger will shove those 2Amps down the device's USB connector. Your device is supposed to support whatever current is listed on the device. Otherwise it will just use as much as it is capable of. That's what I've been told. Hope this helps.
