More than likely yes. But I'm not certain you can use the EA framework to detect such a situation anyway (if someone knows for certain I'm happy to be wrong here). And in absence of further data as to the nature of the power source, it would be difficult for a developer to recognize this situation.

Caveat implementor.

ah but wouldn't this be a FAIL if say, the user was using a battery extender for a quick recharge ?

Is another option to use the External Accessory framework?

I don't think so. A simple charger may not appear as any kind of accessory at all (consider the wall-outlet charger) so EA wouldn't track it. If you want to know if the device is on external power (which in this particular case would likely be a false positive on one of those external battery packs) then you want to know if the battery status is "charging".
