Power adapter is swithing power which used for power supply, mainly provide power for projector, laptop computers, audio, water purifiers and other home appliances or electronic products. The charger is used to recharge the battery,and processing grading charging according to the battery capacity and charge characteristic.
2. Different structural components: Power adapter is made up of shell, transformer and PCB, etc. Charger is composed of shell, the input end, output end, etc.
The power adapter can’t be used as a charger, if the voltage output is not enough, it occurs insufficient charge or slow charge. While when it have suffficient voltage output, the battery with low voltage will generate large current, even demage the battery.
So we have to remind people purchase regular charger, don’t use power adapter for charge. If just for temporary use, to make sure certain current-limiting resistance to control the high current. But those power adapter design for charge is exceptional, such as the power adapter for mobile phone,even there’s no constant current,while this fuction all integrated inside of the phone,then the power adapter can be used.
1. Different definition : the power adapter is a kind of electronic devices and electronic power supply power transformation equipment. The charger is a kind of with the high frequency power supply technology and advanced intelligent dynamic adjustment of the charging technology.
2. Different structural components: Power adapter is made up of shell, transformer and PCB, etc. Charger is composed of shell, the input end, output end, etc.
3. Different current pattern: The power adapter is making the ac input to the dc output current mode. The charger current patterns is using constant current charging with pressure limiting system.
4. Different fuction: The charger is recharging the battery, while the power adapter is not only charging the bettery but also provide power for host.
