What is a cellphone charger?

A cellphone charger plugs into a mobile phone to recharge its battery. Having a phone charger on hand helps to prevent mobile devices from running out of power. Some phone charges can also be used to charge laptops or tablets. Since phones are frequently used for work and school, a phone charger can help maintain productivity by making sure people don’t run out of battery.

What are the different types of phone chargers?

Different phones have different connection ports. Common types of phone chargers include micro-USB, USB-C, and lightning USB connectors. Depending on the type, mobile chargers can plug into electrical outlets or into a USB port, for example, on a laptop or a portable battery pack, allowing the phone to charge remotely.

Some modern phones also have super-fast charging compatibility. With the right charger, they can reach 100% battery power quickly. Some fast-charging phones can take their battery from 0% to 100% in less than 30 minutes.

What phone charger do I need?

The right type of phone charger depends on the device. Before buying a charger, people should always check their phone’s user manual to see what type of charger they need, such as USB-C versus micro-USB. The phone’s brand can also make a difference. For example, Apple devices often work only with Apple chargers.
