For the 12 volt systems, the center contact is the positive terminal and the shell is the negative terminal. Most automobiles connect the negative terminal to the frame of the vehicle (negative ground). 12 volt auto connectors are made to comply with a standard by Underwriters Laboratories for safety. UL2089 was developed to cover the ...
A 20-volt level was added in a revision named "class B" of the specification. [12] [13] The voltage range of the successor Pump Express Plus 2.0 is between 5 volts and 20 volts, with 0.5 volts steps. The Quick Charge 3.0 protocol supports finer-grain voltage levels with 0.2 volts steps and has a lower minimum voltage of approximately 3.3 volt.
An AC adapter or AC/DC adapter (also called a wall charger, power adapter, power brick, or wall wart) [1] is a type of external power supply, often enclosed in a case similar to an AC plug. [2] AC adapters deliver electric power to devices that lack internal components to draw voltage and power from mains power themselves.
Standard may include a limit of 20 V at 7.5 amperes [5] Sometimes, there's a knurled retaining ring surrounding the male plug which allows fastening the plug to the chassis receiving the power. Some connectors have a right-angle connector, as seen in the picture. For aesthetics, some Dell laptop chargers have a glowing ring at the connector tip.
New-to-existing cables and adapters have been defined. Some USB Type-C cables and connectors can support "USB performance at SuperSpeed USB 10 Gbps (USB 3.1) and USB Power Delivery up to 100W" [19] [20] [21] although USB Type-C cables are only required to support USB 2.0 (non-SuperSpeed) data rates and 3 A (60 W at 20 V) of current.

A battery charger, recharger, or simply charger, [1] [2] is a device that stores energy in an electric battery by running current through it. The charging protocol—how much voltage , amperes, current, for how long and what to do when charging is complete—depends on the size and type of the battery being charged.
