AC ADAPTER VS CHARGER
I scream inwards when I hear people calling a Laptop AC adapter a charger.  It’s just a personal thing for me.  You can take the battery out of a Laptop and it will still work on AC.  So hang on, what’s it charging?  A charger only does 1 thing, charges a battery, but an AC adapter allows a DC device to run on AC current.  While the device is running, it may very well be charging the battery, but inherently it’s purpose is to allow the device to run.  So next time you hear someone refer to a Laptop AC adapter as a charger, be sure to point them out to this article to correct their illusion.
