It is possible a particular tablet will be compatible with a LAVA SimulCharge adapter, and display the “charging” lightning bolt when power is supplied, but not actually increase the level of the battery. This anomaly is not a consequence of the LAVA adapter, but of the power draw of the tablet or the tablet and OTG-attached devices combined. This situation occurs most frequently when the tablet’s screen is large and brightly lit. The LAVA white paper “USB Power Budgeting” explains in more detail.

Tablet and phone firmware can vary between geographical markets for a given make and model of a device. The compatibilities presented below represent the results of LAVA’s testing of North American firmware unless indicated otherwise. LAVA recommends testing before large-scale deployments to ensure successful operation.
