However, as i earlier said how can i make sure that a adapter i use will be good enough for a particular phone, considering that it didn't come with the original make.
Both. My own experiences with laptops & seeing the effects with others who use them permanently on charge, and making and using lithium packs.Thanks. But, may I know whether this comes from where. Like is this your personal experience or did you read these collectively anywhere.
On older chargers it was quite crude, just using a couple of resistors - have a look here:Yes.It is still over my head that how these self intelligent mobile phones and chargers can control the charging rate spontaneously.
Considering a 1A charger take 1 hour to fully charge, while with these self-controlled systems may control the charging rate of a 3A unit to 3 hours is something that I don't fully grasp on how.
What i mean is how is that the software is capable of controlling the hardware?
Read the article I linked to - which explains it all (in that specific case) - simply resistors in the charger connected to the unused data lines. The phone reads what the resistors are, and that tells it the charging capability of the supply, and the phone draws the relevant amount of current.Nigel, I mean how can the Minty Boost control the impedance of the charging equipment? That's my question.
Same with regards to the Laptop? The laptop with Windows 8 OS has a capability of slowing down the charging after it reaches 80+%, while the same with Windows 7 always used to charge to 100% while always plugged in.

Why?, just because a charger has a stupid label it means nothing - the charging is done in the phone, not in the 'charger' which isn't a charger at all, just a power supply.Got an AC-DC adaptor which mentions itself to be of the wattage 25 W, which also mentions that it is a Fast Charger. I don't know how it works, but the mobile phone says that i have 1.25 Hours to get it charged full from 40% (How is that fast charging?)
But, what intrugues me is that it mentions that it is self-intelligent, which is the first of a kind which i am seeing on hand. I doubt on the other branded chargers i have till now.
I imagine most phones do similar (but perhaps without telling you?), but it's a function of the phone, not the external power supplyMy iPhone 13 has an intelligent charge that slows down the rate after 80% and it tells me. Normally you charge it at the rate that is gets consumed or slower if you want to extend the lifetime.
On the other hand, this charger does is said to support phones from Samsung to iPhone on it's wrapper label. I know that the charging rate would go slow as the phone approaches the full charge due to back-emf/back-voltage from the Li battery. I don't know whether special setup is required to control the charging rate for most of the mobiles. If it does be like that, please do explain.
Nigel, It also mentions output voltage as both 12V, 9V and 5V. So, that completely confuses me on how a battery designed for 5V will work on this AC-DC adapter if this was a normal one, so it has to be intelligent in some way or the other. Sadly, the schools didn't teach us enough to understand this fact well enough later.
Perhaps you knew as I did from Battery University long ago that time spent during CV mode after CC severely reduces life cycles. This remaining capacity is < 20% and if the charger and phone is used simultaneously, this may extend the time during CV mode.I imagine most phones do similar (but perhaps without telling you?), but it's a function of the phone, not the external power supply
