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?

You apply the red and black clamps to the battery. You don't "apply" the USB charger from Apple to the battery, you connect it to a Lightning port.

You're welcome.

Apply? The word most of us would use would be "connect". You "connect" the red and black clamps to the automobile battery posts, and you connect the Apple cable to the iPhone's charging port. Same thing. Others would use "attach" in both cases.

"Apply", though? Who uses that for connecting or attaching a battery cable? Only someone trying to weasel out of being caught out making another blunder.

The posts and the port device are both merely conduits for the charging input. Both allow connectivity and a means of attachment. Same function with different configuration.

The point is that the link above shows a battery charger. Both you and nospam made statements that batteries go *in* a battery charger. Obviously, this is true of some but not all battery chargers.

Now go and apply some make-up to cover up that black eye.
