Why does a cell phone charger continue to consume power when plugged into an outlet but not the phone?

Most electronics will consume a little power even if they are off or not in use. In the case of a cell phone charger, you may notice that if it is plugged into the wall, but there is no cell phone charging, the charger will still be warm. I don't know the physics behind that, but anything that is plugged in will take up a little energy, even when not in use.

Why does your ipod not charge when you have been charging it for days?
if you are plugging it into your cp, it might be blocking your ipod charger usage, or if you plugged it into the wall, then you might have to turn on a light switch to actually make it charge, or if you plugged it into a multi-outlet-extender-thingy, then you might just have to turn the multi-outlet-extender-thingy on, and if none of that works, there might be a problem with the charger. hope i could help.

Your transformer inside your powerpack that is still plugged up will continue to get hot whether your computer is plugged up or not. You jsut run a risk of it burning up therefore losing your powerchord.
Is it better for your battery to keep your laptop plugged in all the time or let it die then charge it?
It doesn't matter either way. I personally keep mine plugged in when I don't need to bring it anywhere. When you have it plugged, make sure the whole charger is unplugged from the outlet so it isn't still sucking up energy even when the laptop isn't plugged in.
