“How many amps/watts is this cord? How many amps/watts is this cord?”

• This cord simply carries electricity, it does not produce any power itself. It will carry the charge that you send through it, and deliver it to the device of your choice. Apple recommends amperage no greater than 2.4 amps for an iPad or iPhone, though other tests online have shown the devices to be adept at using only the current they need (as electricity is never forced into a device, or else all of your light bulbs would explode the instant you flipped your switch). As the recommended voltage for a phone is 5V, that would equal ~12watts of power. Neither of which are provided by this cord.

• The power output comes from the charger, not the cord. Yes some of the really shoddy cables will not charge as quick, but these cords will not have issues with dropping voltage.

• if your charging an iPhone 5 - don't worry the device won't pull more AMPS/Watts than the cord can handle - (yes even if you use an IPad charger)

• Basted on this review http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-lightning-cable/ it appears the cable will charge at full speed.

• The cord does not dictate the amperage flow. That is based on the power source and the device being charged. I use this cord with a 2.1a wall charger and have good success to date.
