Everything depends. First, it's very important to use only a quality battery charger. The brands we usually recommend are xtar, Nitecore and the Efest LUC line. There are a number of others that are just as good and often have extra features, so if yours isn't one of those let us know what it is and we'll tell you what we know about it.
If your charger uses a USB, you may be able to use it with your phone adapter (technically, it's an adapter, not a charger, but I admit it's usually called a charger) but it will depend on the output of the phone adapter. Do you have an amp or watt rating for it? It may or may not be powerful enough for the charger, depending on how what the charger needs.
Does it also have outlet prongs somewhere? What make and model?
It says in the manual i can ise any 5v adapter. And my ipad charger is 5.1v
The ipad adapter says its input is 120-240v and the outout is 5.1 as seen in the picture. The manual for the charger said can be used with a 5v adapter. This makes sense that that would be ok no?Please someone, anyone correct me if I'm wrong, but if a device can take power from USB, it should be able to handle up to 5.25 volts.
I believe the USB spec allows for 4.75 - 5.25 volts. That may only apply to USB 1.1 and 2 - I don't know for sure.
I don't want to fry your kit, but I think 5.1 volts should be ok.
Thanks DnP5.1 volts will be fine.

Thanks for the correction.The spec for USB 2 calls for a +0.25/-0.60 tolerance, but not every device is made to spec. If your USB power source is on the low side, the peripheral you plug into it may not receive the needed power.
Can it do extensive damage off one charge? They are charging right now im keeping an eye on them. I can order another charger and teturn this one laterOk found it. Yeah it seems you HAVE to plug it in to USB. There are no other options. This means it will likely be quite slow but it should (cross your fingers) work
I wouldn’t use it on my batteries personally. For just a few more dollars you can get a name brand with a wall plug
If it works it works . If it doesn’t you will know when it explodesCan it do extensive damage off one charge? They are charging right now im keeping an eye on them. I can order another charger and teturn this one later
