Only a few models of the host are built in the power supply. .

The nameplate of the power adapter is marked with power supply, input and output voltage, current and other indicators. Pay special attention to the input voltage range, which is called "travel power adapter".

What is the difference between a charger and a power adapter?

According to the above definition and the content of personal opinions, the same nominal charger is usually not directly used for power supply, just like our mobile phone charger, because it is used to charge the phone and there is no wire directly connected to the phone to deceive the battery The use of; usually, the power adapter can not only power the computer, but also charge it, just like the power adapter of a notebook computer, it can charge the computer, and it can also supply power to the computer.
