What is the problem being solved which makes it possible to do this? Or, in other words, why don't we have this as a standard way for chargers?
Is it cost? I understand nothing about electronics really, but I'd guess at least one way to do this would be a microcontroller polling the wire and controlling a relay to turn the device on/off, no? I repeat, I understand nothing of these things. :)
- baddox 12y agoI would guess cost and the fact that normal chargers use very little electricity when in standby.
- MrUnknown 12y agoThe reason it isn't standard is because you aren't really saving a whole lot of electricity or money by doing this. If you purchased this charger, I don't believe you would ever break even with the extra cost to buy this charger with the amount of money saved in electricity not used before it broke.
