So mobile phone chargers and laptop computer chargers are actually power adapters. It does not include charging control circuits. The phone charger and laptop charger are actually power adapters that are controlled by the host. The charger includes the function of the power adapter, but the charger also has a constant current, constant voltage, and other control circuits that satisfy the charging characteristics.
