Ronni, I am grateful for this discussion - I had no idea the two had different chargers. Now I know, and have marked the iPad charger (why doesn't Apple put some kind of clear differentiation on them? Pale-coloured text in 6pt or less type isn't sufficiently visible.). In case other people didn't notice, the short connection cords are also different, so the thin one is matched with the 5 W charger, and the thicker one with the 10 W charger.
Thanks very much!
