Smart Charger

How about a charger that knows when the device you are charging is fully charged, thus reducing power consumption by fully charged cell phone, computers, cameras, etc.

I like the idea Mark. How exactly do chargers work anyways? For example, when I charge my cell phone, the phone lights turn green letting me know the phone is fully charged. Does the charger continue to charge the battery even if it's full? I would think this would be bad for the battery? I'll have to look into this further.

steve is right...the current does not flow into the battery once it is fully charged...so there is current flowing out of the outlet but not really charging the battery...hence i think further investigation in to the product is necessary.
