Claim Text:
1. An adapter, comprising: an adapter meter to measure a current output by the adapter at the first connection; a comparator to compare the measured current at the adapter to a plurality of currents, the plurality of currents to indicate different percentages of a power capacity of the adapter that is less than an entirety of the power capacity of the of adapter; and a converter to receive an AC voltage and to output a DC voltage via the first connection, wherein: the comparator is to set the DC voltage to a first output voltage when the measured current is less than a first current of the plurality of currents, the comparator is to set the DC voltage to a second output voltage greater than the first output voltage when the measured current is greater than or equal to the first current and less than a second current greater than the first current, and the comparator is to set the DC voltage to a third output voltage greater than the second output voltage when the measured current is greater than or equal to the second current.
