What do the numbers on the phone charger mean?

261 views

Input 100-120V-50/60Hz, 0.5A

Output 5V-3A/9V-2A/12V-1.5A

Input 200-240V, 50/60Hz, 0.7A

Output 5V-3A/9V-3A/12V-2.25A/20V-1.35A/11V-3A (Max)

I know what V, A, W are and that my charger is a 33W charger. How did they come to these conclusions? Please help

They don’t come to those conclusions, they use circuitry that specifically turns the charger off if the voltage does not fall into one of the INPUT brackets. For the output they also use circuitry that makes the charger output exactly one of those brackets (it’s up to the USB device to negotiate with the charger which mode they want to operate in)
