Charging refers to the process of replenishing the energy stored in a rechargeable battery or power source by supplying electrical energy to it. This process often occurs through a power adapter or charging station, which delivers electric current to the battery, allowing it to regain its capacity to power a device. Charging can apply to various devices, including smartphones, laptops, electric vehicles, and batteries used in numerous portable electronics. The charging process can vary in duration and method, influenced by factors such as the type of battery, the charging technology used, and the voltage supplied. Different charging standards exist that dictate how charging should occur to ensure efficiency and safety.
