Isn't the better goal to be figuring out why it overheated so maybe
you can continue to ucse the charger, if possible?

This is a very fair perspective, especially since I have a half
dozen of these 6.8Amp five-port USB chargers (they were on sale for
less than $20 each).

I ran down the iPad all morning, by running GPS software and Youtube
videos and I put it on a permanent Hangouts video conference call
so that the battery ran down to something like 50%.

I then put the iPad on the same charger with a *different* cable,
and, so far, the ipad is about at 75% and the (different) cable
is *not* overheating yet.

So, at this point, if the iPad charges overnight with the different
cable without overheating, I think I would have to conclude it's not
a good cable.

I'll know by tomorrow.
