My beautiful PB charger is dying, it is not charging properly, it may have something to do with the connector because it was used a lot while being charged by kids and probably was bent a lot..

Anyway, ipad charger has USB port on it, so I could just use the USB cable to plug, but I am worried about amperage and voltage, but it is still USB port..

I am now using a 1A charger from my wife's android phone but it is taking forever to charge, while it charges BB's fine.

I don't know about using an iPad charger but you can get the PlayBook rapid charger that doesn't use the usb port at a very good price on Amazon.

The Playbook charger is a 1.8 amp charger.

The Ipad charger is available in 3 different types 5 watt, 10 watt and 12 watt.
Depending on which you have it could be the reason for the slow recovery.
The standard OEM Playbook charger looks to be a bit more powerful.

ipad charger I have is 12W, 5.2V 2.4A.
Does anyone want to trade ipad with surfacepro? This thing is a waste of money.
