Talk:Battery charger

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article should be supplied with a section on inductive chargers.

Section vehicle battery chargers seems to have been written in Japanese english. Difficult to decipher.

[edit] USB battery box

USB battery box now redirects to Universal Serial Bus, so I've removed the link from 'See Also'. Also, what was this statement (which I removed) saying?:

One can also use the USB port to provide power to a device (USB battery box ^[1]).

Is it just talking about USB devices that draw power from the bus? I don't think that's relevant to this article. (The link goes to a product category listing on thinkgeek.com, but not all of the devices even use USB.)

[edit] Fast chargers

Some fast chargers, such as those made by Energizer, can fast-charge any NiMH battery even if it does not have the control circuit.

I've heard that these shorten the life (number of times you can recharge) of batteries. (Possibly related to overcharging.) Does anyone know if this is true? If it is, it should be mentioned in the article, with a source if possible. Jobarts^-Talk 20:51, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Short circuiting" section

How is this relevant? — Omegatron 01:58, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Broken link

Great. Reference 15 (on solar chargers) went dead. Is it to be removed, commented out or what?
