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?http://www.elec-intro.com/EX/05-15-02/Battery_Charger.jpgSandman
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.
you are *completely* missing the point (no surprise there).
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.nope. once again, you don't understand how it works, despite multiple explanations.
the main difference between a power supply and a charger is whether or not it has charging circuitry.
for a car charger, the charging circuitry is in the charger because you're attaching it directly to the battery. that's the only place it can be. other chargers have their own charging circuitry, such as the one that comes with nikon cameras.
for an iphone, the charging circuitry is in the phone, which means all it needs is +5v from a power supply, which can come from a variety of sources.
there is no charging circuitry in the power supply. all that piece does is supply +5v to what is plugged into its usb port, which may not even be a phone at all, which is why i linked a led light.
it is sometimes called a charger, but that's technically incorrect since it does not do the charging. it only provides power.
i'm sure you'll continue to argue there's no difference. you're wrong.
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.that part is correct, but it's not what differentiates the two.
i mentioned that because it demonstrates an obvious difference without getting technical, but even the simple stuff sailed well over your head.
