Why can’t my computer just sacrifice and transfer a part of it’s own battery to my phone to charge it in seconds?
Trying to push an instant charge to your phone would be like trying to instantly fill up an inflatable swimming pool with a garden hose that is hooked up to the equivalent of a fire hydrant on full blast's worth of water pressure. It *might* get the job done, but would cause a lot of damage. 1.
The Short Answer
Trying to push an instant charge to your phone would be like trying to instantly fill up an inflatable swimming pool with a garden hose that is hooked up to the equivalent of a fire hydrant on full blast's worth of water pressure. It *might* get the job done, but would cause a lot of damage. 1. Your garden hose (charging cable) can not handle that much water pressure (electrical current) at once and would burst (into flames) as a result. 2. If, for some reason, it could handle that, the inflatable swimming pool (phone) would burst (into flames) simply due to the instant jet of water (electrons) that is shooting in it at such a high rate. 3. If, for some reason, it happened to survive that, it would have been irreparably damaged by it and would be much easier to fail in the future.
