Default Re: 9900 charging problem

- iPad (original charger)
- HyperJuice Mini
- Griffin PowerJolt Dual

All above chargers can charge an iPad, which needs more power for charging than regular smartphones.
Any idea why the 9900 gives me this message? Is there anything which can be done about it?
Yes, use the correct charger. BlackBerry's are not the only devices which require specific USB chargers. Many other devices also require their own specific charger. Voltages vary from one to another.
