Battery Charger

The new 2.0 specification version for external power supplies took effect from November 1, 2008. However, LG Electronics has not yet launched the new battery charger model since November 1, 2008.
All LG mobile phone chargers (63 models) developed and launched since January 1, 2005 have not only satisfied the EU voluntary Code of Conduct (CoC) and the EPA Energy Star 1.1 of the United States, but have also exceeded the requirements of the Energy Star 1.1 standard by more than 50% at the point of shipment. They have improved by 73% on average. (Energy Star 1.1 standard: Standby power 0.5 W, voltage measurement of battery charger standby power: 230 V)
(Exceeding the mode by 50% at 0.25 W)

Furthermore, these 63 models have already met Energy Star 2.0 standards, and 47 of them have also exceeded the requirements of the Energy Star 2.0 standard by more than 50%.
(Energy Star 2.0 Standard: Standby power 0.3 W)
(Exceeding the mode by 50% at 0.15 W)

Number of battery charger models developed and launched since January 1, 2005: 63 in total

Energy Star Qualified Models List:

The IPP Project on the Efficiency of a Mobile Device Charger is a voluntary agreement committing electronics manufacturers to develop external power supplies (i.e. chargers) with minimized power consumption and, in particular, minimum no-load power consumption. This means that when the charger is not charging a device, but is still plugged in, it consumes a minimal amount of energy.

Energy Efficiency Rating for Mobile Device Charger
(By Voluntary Agreement EU and Industry IPP Project)
Rating No-load Power consumption
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ≤ 0.03W
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ > 0.03W to 0.15W
♦ ♦ ♦ > 0.15W to 0.25W
♦ ♦ > 0.25W to 0.35W
> 0.35W to 0.5W
- > 0.5W

To reduce unnecessary power consumption, please unplug the charger from the wall after the phone has been charged.
