It's an anti-missile system. To shoot down incoming missiles.

Great answers already, I'd like to add a few things: Lithium batteries like to be charged at 1C, meaning that if they have a capacity of 1.6 Ah they like to be charged at 1.6 A and will (theoretically) be fully charged in one hour (this is wrong in practice though). You can charge most of them at a higher rate (e.g. at 3.2 A), but they should be rated for it. If you don't better, stick to a lower amperage. Too low of an amperage should not be an issue but I'm not sure - it will take ages though.

The voltage has to fit! Batteries change their voltage over the course of charging/discharging. This is more pronounced in older NiMH or NiCdH (discard those) batteries but still relevant. A 12V charger can charge your batteries to 12V. Most chargers can handle different voltages and will usually select the correct voltage depending on the battery. This is important if you are charging LiIons or LiPos (two types of Lithium batteries), as overcharging them is NOT advised. They generally peak at around 4.2V per cell I think with a working charge (don't know the term) of 3.7V per cell. Some chargers require you to select the number of cells. Charging a 2-cell LiPo with 12-13 volt is a bad idea I wager and charging a 3-cell LiPo with 9.something volt won't work (it won't drain it, but the minimal voltage is higher than what the charger provides - current would like to flow the other way if It could).

TL,DR: If you can adjust the charging parameters manually or you are doing something the manual states you shouldn't be doing, educate yourself. If however you only plug in your phone (with a painfully small battery at 2 Ah) and only provide a 1.5A*5V=7.5W charger, you are perfectly fine.

True, every positive test is also a negative test and vice versa :D

To understand the reef, you have to become one with the reef.

I don't mean to imply anything, but this post was listed maybe one scroll away from the piracy community welcoming everyone to SimpleX. Unfortunate timing.

That's a fair assessment

I'll probably have some tea, thanks :) Feel better now that I've slept

Considering all the provocation, I can't say Israel might not be illegitimate. Did that offend you or scratch the wrong nerve? Maybe violence is never the right answer, but simpy the easier or even only one.

Sorry it had to be you, I'm probably looking for a fight right now. World's been on my nerve.

No, that can't be right, Black Flag released just a few years ago ... I remember it like it's yesterday ...

Something to remember: thicker filaments, while they do last longer, worsen the ratio of light to heat.

Finally, the Apache attack helicopter-joke makes sense. U.S. conservative commenters can now rest in peace.
