Catalin:
What happens when he deactivates? You can't be serious Op.

another good reason;is just my thoughts though.

NairalandDSS:
wtf then explorers is behind this monicker

no am just a fan of his works.

ojmaroni247:
Bia Opee if there should be explorers section, den odas would clamour for ders. Explorers posts educational topics i agree but there are many odas dat posts gud topics here on nairaland. U fit open blog for him or him own website. U fit even open news paper company for him. Everyone has wat they are gud at. As much as i commend explorers for his insiteful posts, ders no need for dis. Explorers like his name goes is like de discovery channel of nairaland.

ok you are right,and I quite understand for you gave a tangible reason. But why am clamouring for an explorers section is that his threads are adventurous, always educative and enlightening. Rate explorers works and any other member you know and you will observe he (explorers) is exceptional.

Dear seun ;

Since I came across nairaland,I can vividly say that I have learnt a lot of things; (both relevant and irrelevant) here on nairaland. But the main reason for this write up is about the person behind the moniker 'explorer.
Explorer is one member I always love to follow his topics maybe for the following reasons;
1. They are highly educative
2. It presents pictorial evidence as back up
And lastly is always likely to hit the front page.however, that is just a plus and which also proves how educative and relevant his topics are.
His threads pulls crowd, and it is one I always enjoy viewing and with the comments I have read on his threads, one can see that he as been appraised and rated high.
I just want to use this opportunity to appeal to you and the forum's management to consider his topics or threads created on sections such as the politics,sports and romance sections,something like 'explorers section' . This might be difficult for you to do,but I know its possible. His passion for creating interesting and educative threads for the enlightment of both registered and unregistered members deserves an accolade,thank you for an anticipated consideration.

BATTERY,CHARGER, AND USB.
USING THE RIGHT CHARGER FOR YOUR GADGETS (AVOID OVERCHARGE, LESS CHARGE, BATTERY DAMAGE, OR DEVICE DAMAGE)

INTRODUCTION

Most cell phone chargers are not really chargers; they are only power adaptors that provide a power source for the charging circuitry which is almost always contained within the mobile
phone. They are notoriously diverse, having a wide variety of DC connector-styles and voltages, most of which are not compatible with other manufacturers' phones or even different models of phones from a single manufacturer.
Cellphone chargers are nothing but AC to DC converters. They take an input of 220 volt AC and give an output voltage around 5Volt DC. Generally the output voltage of the chargers is in the
range of 5 to 5.5 Volts DC, but some local make chargers give an output voltage beyond this level. As a user who is not bothered much about these technical details just connects the phone and checks whether the cellphone is getting charged or not, but in reality a cellphone which is exposed to conditions which are beyond the permissible limits might actually reduce the life of cellphone.

Different cell phones have different batteries and different voltage requirements.
Usually though, the battery "goes dead" at about 0.8v less than its full voltage.
That is because if a battery goes too low it will be damaged and won't recharge.
To be completely accurate, when a battery is fully charged, it is usually about 0.5v higher than it is labelled.


Universal Serial Bus specification provides for a five-volt power
supply, it's possible to use a USB cable as a power source for recharging batteries.
With 5V and 500mA of available current, the USB bus can charge a small single-cell Li-ion pack, but there is a danger of overloading the USB hub when attaching too many gadgets.
Plugging in a charger that draws 500mA along with other devices will exceed the port’s current limit, leading to a voltage drop and a possible system failure. To prevent overload,
some hosts include current-limiting circuits that shut down the supply when overdrawn.
Another method is limiting the current of all attachments to 400mA to reserve 100mA for housekeeping.

BATTERIES

Most new batteries go through a formatting process during which the capacity gradually increases and reaches optimal performance at 100–200 cycles. After this mid-life point, the capacity gradually begins decreasing and the depth of discharge, operating temperatures and charging method govern the speed of capacity loss. The deeper the batteries are discharged and the warmer the ambient temperature is, the shorter the service life. The effect of temperature on the battery can be compared with a jug of milk, which stays fresh longer when refrigerated.
Most portable batteries deliver between 300 and 500 full discharge/charge cycles.

DO YOU WONDER?

Usually mobile phone battery require very low level DC voltage and current for charging, while our house hold wiring contains high level AC voltage of 220V and sinusoidal current. How is it possible for Chargers to overcome this issue?
The technology that are involve are transformer and rectifier
The transformer steps down the A.C voltage from 220V to low voltage around 5v.
The rectifier converts the A.C voltage to a D.C. voltage

Basic Physics tells us that we need a higher voltage than the nominal output of a battery. For example your car 12 volt battery is recharged by the alternator (or free standing battery charger) at 14.7 volts. This is because of an effect that produces a 'back emf' during the charging cycle. If we choose to use a charger of 3.7 volts output then we would get only a partial charge on a 3.7 volt battery. The charging procedure is performed at constant voltage with current-limiting circuitry (i.e., charging with constant current until a voltage of 4.2 V is reached in the cell and continuing with a constant voltage applied until the current drops close to zero).

USB SPECIFICATIONS

There are three USB specifications — USB 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 — but we’ll be focusing on USB 2.0, as it’s by far the most common variant. We’ll point out where 1.0 and 3.0 are significantly different. The other important fact is that in any USB network, there is one host and one device. In almost every case, your PC is the host, and your smartphone/tablet/camera is the device. Power always flows from the host to the device, but data can flow in both directions.

OK, now the numbers. A USB socket has four pins and and a USB cable has four wires. The inside pins carry data (D+ and D-), and the outside pins provide a 5-volt power supply. In terms of actual current (milliamps or mA), there are three kinds of USB port dictated by the current specs: a standard downstream port, a charging downstream port, and a dedicated charging port. The first two can be found on your computer (and should be labelled as such), and the third kind applies to “dumb” wall chargers. In the USB 1.0 and 2.0 specs, a standard downstream port is capable of delivering up to 500mA (0.5A); in USB 3.0, it moves up to 900mA (0.9A). The charging downstream and dedicated charging ports provide up to 1500mA (1.5A).

Now, this is what the spec dictates, but in actual fact there are plenty of USB chargers that break these specs — mostly the wall-wart variety. Apple’s iPad charger, for example, provides 2.1A at 5V; Amazon’s Kindle Fire charger outputs 1.8; and car chargers can output anything from 1A to 2.1A.

There is a huge variance, then, between normal USB 2.0 ports rated at 500mA and dedicated charging ports which range all the way up to 2100mA. This leads to a rather important question: If you take a smartphone which came with a 900mA wall charger, and plug it into a 2100mA iPad charger, will it blow up?
In short, no: You can plug any USB device into any USB cable and into any USB port, and nothing will blow up — and in fact, using a more powerful charger should speed up battery charging.
The longer answer is that the age of your device plays an important role, dictating both how fast it can be charged, and whether it can be charged using a wall charger at all.
When cellphones are connected to USB ports of Laptops, the USB port can support a charging current of nearly 450mA without enumeration. Even with the hub case remains the same.
We observed that maximum charging current with Windows Xp and Windows 7 operating system is 500mA without enumeration.

CONCLUSION
The fact that your plug fits into your charging port doesn’t mean you are using the right charger to charge your gadgets.
Watch out!!!, this mistakes can be costly!!!
But why
Voltage
When replacing your charger, it is very important to get the one with the right voltage. The device may work with chargers with voltages that are close, but the effect is that it shortens the lifespan of the batteries being recharged. Some devices, however, works just fine due to tolerance of voltage variation. Meanwhile, some won’t just work at all. Now, here is the problem, how do you know this detail about your device? There is only one way to find out which category your device falls into, it is simply by getting the right voltage from the start.

Amperage
Also, the ampere rating of your charger is very important. This is usually represented by notations like “1.0A” or “1000mA” on your chargers.
In other words, while the voltage is a constant and should match, the amperage is something that varies based on the devices need. A device will pull more amps when it is working hard than when it is not. The voltage will remain the same regardless.
The amperage rating of a power supply is the maximum number of amps that it is able to provide if needed.
Thus, as long as you replace your power supply with one that is capable of providing as much or more amps than the previous supply, you’ll be fine.
If you replace the power supply for some reason with one that has a maximum amperage rating that is less than the previous and less than what your device actually requires, then you may end up with a burnt out or (at least) overheating power supply, and the device itself may not function, or may not do so well.
Furthermore, most blackberry chargers comes in 700ma i.e., 0.7A, so using a charger of 1.5A i.e., 1500mA will fast charge the battery which may lead to battery damage if this is done often.
For those who use their laptops to charge their mobile devices, they probably would have noticed that it takes a bit more time to get a full charge using this means.
Most laptop USB ports are of USB 1.0 and USB 2.0 specifications and do not deliver more than 500mA (0.5A). This is a far cry from the recommended requirements for a lot of devices. Apple’s iPad charger provides 2.1A at 5V. Amazon’s Kindle Fire charger outputs 1.8A; My Galaxy Tab needs 5V/2A and my Samsung Note 1 needs 5V/1A.

Ahmed

Thanks for reading, hope u have learnt something new today?

OP God bless you for this write up; Some people don't know the strain and stress one passes through to create a topic and an educative one at that. This is a very good piece of information, and am here wondering if I should give a f**k because I always use non recommended chargers to charge my phones.

bentlywills:
NCAN means :Name checkers association of Nairaland/Nigeria

lol thanks a lot....so this is what Ncan means

As we all know,nairaland is a forum where you get to meet the bad, the good and the ugly. Although a faceless forum which has over 1.4million people visiting everyday,one surely must have a reason to laugh, argue and also share ideas including dissemination of information.
I am actually not that active on nairaland,neither do I comment on topics most of the times I log in to access various piece. But I always notice some words and phrases which are commonly used in different sections of the forum which I will like to list.
Here are phrases that were trending on nairaland before and after the year 2016;
1. "chai" seeing the word alone, puts a smile on your face. The immediate past 1st lady, lady dame jonathan a.k.a mama peace made this word popular amongs members of this forum.
She was actually caught on live T.v lamenting on the problems nigerians up north were facing during her husband's tenure, then the word came "chai,chai there is god ooo" I really missed her comic displays

2." here in sambisa" the boko haram actually made this word. "sambisa" popular among nairalanders for the forest was where the boko haram terrorists dwelled in.
It became so common among members of the forum that sentences like this were often made; "here in sambisa we dont do this or we do that". It became so common that others tagged those who were involved in this act as childish and immatured.
3. space bookers the phrase "space bookers" is used to tag those who only enters a thread type a word,alphabet or figure and leaves hoping that the topic would hit the frontpage then they come back to modify their posts. This set of people are usually known as the space bookers association of nairaland.

4. vaseline crew this phrase is normally reffered to those who self service or engages in the act of masturbation.
The words are commonly used by members on a sexual related thread where examples of words like these one's are used to reffer to this set of people; "vaseline crew member spotted", "vaseline crew your food have done", I.e (when a sexual content is posted).

5. afonja I actually first came across this word on nairaland, which Is usually reffered to people who are from the south-west and northern regions in nigeria.
We all are aware nairaland is a forum full of tribalists and different ethnic race, I really don't know why the management of the forum are doing less or nothing about this conflicts,but whichever way, the word "afonja" is Normally used by the south- easterners against the north and western regional members of the forum, I.e "you bloody afonja", "afonja's at it again", "afonja's and betrayal are one" (with the zuma pics) e.t.c

6. wailer if you are one who is active in the politics section of the forum, the word "wailer" should sure be used to you. The word is normally used in the process of arguments between members on political issues,though the wailers to my knowledge are mostly the pDp supporters in the forum whose rivals "APC" usually refers to I.e "wailing wailers", wailers will countinue to wail", the wailers have arrived", . And so on....I think the politics section is the most intresting and more heated section in the forum.
7. NCAN I don't know what this initials means in full but I am sure it depicts tribal hate. With the rapid growth of tribal e-wars on nairaland,members who are always involved in tribal bashing deviced a way to make fun of each others region and tribe, so the initials (whatever it means) was coined out. To me, it was one of the funniest phrases that was trending on nairaland in 2016 and the words were commonly used by members most active in the politics section. e.g;" NCAN reporting live from so so so and so branch" the people involved actually does this crazy and comic things to bash each other on threads or news relating to any of the regions involved

8. Za oza room since president muhamadu buhari made this statement in an interview late in th year 2016, it started trending immediately on nairaland. The president was said to have place relevancy on his wife at the other room. Sexual right? That's how most nairaland members finds the word.

9. the money spended was properly spended

You know nigerians, we always react to a lot of things whether relevant or irrelevant. This word or phrase was first used by the present minister of sport mr solomon dalung. I believe he is one of the most disliked ministers by nairaland members for his inexperienced, local and I don't care attitude. The minister actually made an error in his speech,and Today it is still amongst the words that are trending on the forum used to mock and make fun of the red beret minister.
10 bleeps givers this is the latest one trending on the forum right now, I have actually observed members using some funny picture memes to mean they don't care about irrelevant news or its none of their bussiness. Like " those who gives a f**k went that way.....this is actually my best picture meme of the bleeps givers though


You can as well add yours

Happy new year nairalanders;

CC lalastic o' lala

nabiz:
That will be good but that is not our problem now, before our senate will abandon the most important issue and start debating about it. Our problem for now is hunger . How do we come out of recession lol

reccession is just a word to some people, did you view that thread of elegushi beach where people were over crowded like it was a new shoprite that was opened to people in rural areas

Catalin:
Hell No!

you have your reasons for saying no....what are your reasons?

YhungPablo:
.

I know you have sense,but deciding not to use it is what annoys me.

YoungRichRuler:
Define 'Money' in Economics.


What are the characteristics of money in economics?


You are on your way to finding solution.

thank you

This argument was brought fought by a radio presenter earlier on today tasking people to share their views. To me,I feel adopting the Pidgin language would sure have more disadvantages Than its advantages to we nigerians.
So I want all to share their views and opinions on the topic,click like if you think pidging english shouldn't be adopted and share if you think it should.
