Abstract
The present disclosure provides a power adapter, an electronic device and a charging apparatus for an electronic device. In the process of charging a battery in a conventional charge mode after the power adapter is powered on, the power adapter carries out quick charge inquiry communication with the electronic device when an output current value of the power adapter is within a conventional current range for a preset time interval; after the electronic device sends a quick charge command to the power adapter, the power adapter adjusts the output voltage according to the battery voltage information fed back by the electronic device; and when the output voltage meets a voltage requirement for quick charge preset by the electronic device, the power adapter adjusts the output current and the output voltage for charging the battery in a quick charge mode.
