Charging up your gadgets may look simple but there's actually a lot going on behind the scenes. We have the answers to some frequently asked questions: ​What's the tiny print on my phone laptop/tablet charger? Almost every cellphone or laptop charger will have some tiny print on it -- you'll see specifications for input and output power (apart from manufacturer details and a bunch of regulatory info).
