Nowadays, whether it is smart furniture or electronic equipment in daily life, power adapters and chargers are very common. However, many people do not know the difference between the power adapter and the charger, and some people mix the power adapter and the charger, which brings unnecessary safety hazards to themselves and others. Can the power adapter and charger be used together? What harm will it cause?

   1. First of all, the adapter is a device that converts AC power to low-voltage DC. It can be understood as a regulated power supply. The power adapter cannot be used as a charger. The charger is a device specifically used to directly charge the battery. It contains a charge management chip, which can realize constant current, constant voltage, and trickle-current charging of the battery. If the power adapter is used as a charger to charge the battery, it will cause the battery to be unable to be fully charged or overcharge and damage the battery and related components.

    2. Secondly, mixed use of power adapter and charger will cause safety hazards. Mixing the two can easily lead to overload or short circuit of the power adapter. In this, too high temperature is a hallmark situation, which must be paid attention to. Under abnormal working conditions of mixed use, the product will often heat up excessively, and fires may easily occur if you are not careful.

So when you use electronic products daily, you must be careful not to mix them to avoid dangerous situations.
