Hi Heather, We had a similar charging issue with an ipad stand, apple issued charger and an aftermarket extension cable. We determined that it was in fact, the length of the cable that was the issue. When the station was in constant use, if the iPad was not fully charged to begin with, the apple

Hi all: For long-run USB power, I suggest using a PoE (Power over Ethernet)-to-USB adapter, which would allow you to run your iPad's USB power over standard, cheap CAT5e cabling, without voltage/current drop. Theoretically, you'd have a 100m distance limitation. You can get the adapters for under

Hi Heather, I second what David said. We had the same issue with our gallery iPad and Kiosk Pro. The secure stand we purchased came wired with an aftermarket cord and it didn't keep the iPad's power, even when plugged in. On a whim we tried a "real" iPad charger and cord, and that solved our probl
