    Then there are another (4.83 - 1.31) = 3.52 joules per second (watts) that go

    somewhere else. They become heat that makes the charger warm up while

    it's working.

    If these figures are accurate, then it's interesting to notice that the device

    is almost 3 times as efficient when you call it a heater as it is when you

    call it a battery charger.
