But isn't the voltage and current drawn by a charger always going to be the same?
Ie, an iphone charges at like 5v and 1 amp right?
So if you plug it in when the battery is flat and charge it until it's full and then unplug it'll have drawn 5v at 1 amp for say an hour or so.
If you leave it plugged in all the time and the charger maintains the battery at 100% it'll draw 5v/1amp all the time.
No?
I have kind of wondered whether I make things harder for myself by leaving my lights on all the time. I thought that in setups like mine where the on/off switch is on the light, the hub always provided power and therefor had the same resistance. You had to have a switch on the hub (is this even a thing?) that turned power generation on and off to get a difference in the resistance.
