Apple offered an EmPower MagSafe power adapter for their MacBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air lines of notebooks, and also included a cigarette lighter socket adapter. However, this system would only run the computer without charging the computer's battery, and Apple warned users to never plug this device into a car's cigarette lighter outlet. [5]
IEEE P1823 was a proposed global standard for a universal power adapter for mobile devices (UPAMD) that require between 10 W and 240 W. E.g., Laptops, larger tablets and other mobile devices that can require much more power than the (non-Power Delivery) USB battery charging specification limit of 7.5 W at 5 V. [25]
A properly designed charger can allow batteries to reach their full cycle life. Excess charging current, lengthy overcharging, or cell reversal in a multiple cell pack cause damage to cells and limit the life expectancy of a battery. Most modern cell phones, laptop and tablet computers, and most electric vehicles use lithium-ion batteries. [28]
Battery Charging Specification 1.1 specifies that charging devices must dynamically limit bus power current draw during High Speed signaling; [53] 1.2 specifies that charging devices and ports must be designed to tolerate the higher ground voltage difference in High Speed signaling. Revision 1.2 of the specification was released in 2010.
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.

[9] The only accessory released with USB 3.0 support is the Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter. [10] Since iPhone 8 and iPhone X, the Lightning connector is somewhat USB ...
“Getting from 80 to 100 (percent) takes about as much time as getting from 0 to 80,” Musk told Rogan. In other words, you could cut charging time by 50% and still get 80% of your EV’s range.
