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.
nothing but word games.
This is a text format in which words are used. You scream like a baby with a loaded diaper when someone uses what you consider to be the wrong word for a device. Yet, when someone uses the wrong word to describe that act of attaching something to a device, you claim it's word games.
attach, apply, connect, plug in or whatever else makes no difference and you know it. you're just arguing just to argue, as usual.
it's obvious what is meant when he said apply the red and black clamps to the battery.
the problem is that entirely misses the point. you *still* don't understand the difference between a charger and a power supply, and there is definitely a difference. all you can do is argue over word usage.
You wailed out, above, it's not a battery charger because you don't put batteries in it. It's an incorrect statement, but it is an example of you doing exactly what you object to others doing.nope.
