ACCESSORY GUIDE
IPAD 2 BUYERS’ GUIDE
Batteries + Indoor Power
iPads have much larger batteries than iPhones or iPods, and require faster new accessories to recharge
within the same three- to four-hour time frame. All of the batteries and chargers here are designed to
recharge iPads at peak speeds; the chargers and boxy battery packs work with iPods and iPhones, too.
dreamGEAR i.Sound Portable Power Max 16K
With four times the juice of the largest iPod and iPhone
battery pack we’d previously recommended, Portable Power
Max 16,000mAh can completely refuel an iPad or iPad 2 one
time, then fully recharge three iPhones (or 60% of another
iPad). Five USB ports let you connect multiple
devices at once; an included wall power adapter
takes 8 hours to recharge the brick-sized unit.
$130
PhoneSuit Primo
Power Core
With around half the power
of Portable Power Max, Primo
Power Core is smaller, lighter,
and capable of refilling 80%
of an iPad, or four
iPhones. It includes a
wall adapter and bag.
$100
Tekkeon TekCharge
MP1860A
As the lowest-priced fullspeed
iPad recharging battery
we’ve seen, TekCharge
MP1860A includes two ports
for simultaneous iPad and
iPod or iPhone recharging,
and has 4,400mAh of power - enough for 50% of
a full iPad recharge, or two iPhones. It includes a
carrying case, iPad cable, and wall adapter set.
$70
NeoSonic LifePower
Built solely for the first iPad,
LifePower has an integrated
hand strap, video stand, and
so-so speakers in addition to a
battery with 80-90% refueling
power. Interesting,
but pricey and
somewhat obscure.
$200
