so you agree that it's called a power supply, although it does have other names too.

Like 'battery charger'.

nospam
nope.

a battery charger does just that, charge batteries, usually removing the battery from the device and inserting them into the charger.

that's different than a power supply, which powers the device and which may also charge a battery while the battery is still in the device.

Wait a minute! You've said in another post that people call them different things, and that's OK. So if that's OK, then calling the power adapter a "battery charger" is perfectly legitimate by your rules. If it's used to charge the battery, calling it a "battery charger" is logical.

nospam
no, because it's not a battery charger. where do you put the batteries into it? you don't.

You're struggling. Where do you put the batteries into this one?

Is that not absolutely a battery charger and correctly called a battery charger?

You've made a production about the allowability of calling things by various names, but you want to restrict "battery charger" to a device in which batteries must be inserted? Ridiculous.

if you plug <http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/5a84/>into what you're calling a battery charger, where are the batteries that are being charged? hint: there aren't any.

Why are you referencing a USB FlexLight? What has that got to do with anything?
