Definition

A charger supplies power to recharge a device’s battery. Using damaged cables or unknown public chargers can risk hardware problems or, rarely, data theft (“juice jacking”).

Real-World Example

Prefer your own cable and wall adapter at airports instead of unknown free USB ports when possible.
