iPad air charger

I'm looking to get one from Newegg but they don't carry the original one.

Will any of these be compatible with the iPad Air?

I'd get the IOGEAR one. (2nd link) 10 watts of output is enough.

I think they all should be compatible with iPad Air, though.

See since the Apple charger says 12w, I'm stumped thinking that they may not charge the iPad Air.

12w is the maximum rating. As long as you're above 5 watts it should charge good. You can charge the iPad Air with your computer, then you should be able to charge it with a 10 watt adaptor.

Cool man thanks.
Oh, and any lightning connector should work as well correct? Cause I could have sworn that I connected an after market lightning cable and seen a message on the iPad mentioning something about, "not a compatible device" or something like that. It was a few months ago so I can't remember exactly what it said.

Oh...I am not sure about after-market cables, I have had some and they're not always good, and I have gotten a similar message, but that wasn't for the lightning cable. But I do have a regular lightning cable and my iPad will charge from anything, including the 'spare battery' device I bought. (might be good for 1 charge)

thanks again.
I ordered 2 of the iogear.

If I can find that cable I was using, I'll try it again and screen shot the error.

I HIGHLY recommend this Anker charger:

Anker® 25W 5-Port Family-Sized Desktop USB Charger Travel Power Ada... »www.amazon.com/dp/B00DVH ··· b1H7XKPB

I have two of them - one for home, one for travel - and they're AWESOME. They charge anything I throw at them!

That's really cool. I assume you can charge any device in any port...it doesn't have to be those labeled items correct?

Correct, but I do keep the higher-draw items (ipad etc) in the higher-wattage ports. Otherwise, doesn't matter.
