not at all. i know more about chargers than you ever will.Tony CoopernospamTony CoopernospamnospamEric Stevens
so you agree that it's called a power supply, although it does have other names too.
Like 'battery charger'.
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.
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?have you never seen a car battery charger?

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.nope. a car battery is obviously something you aren't going to remove from a vehicle and insert into a charger.
it proves that what you and eric are saying is a 'battery charger' is not a battery charger because it can be used with a device that has no battery.nospamTony Cooper
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?
