Description: Did you ever buy a new phone charger and wonder why it's so slow or why it gets so hot? You may have been the victim of a fake USB charger. I bought many of the top selling usb chargers from a local shopping website and discovered that the majority were fake and could only output 1 amp or less. Most of them claimed to support 2A, 3A and even fast charging protocols like Qualcomm Quick Charge. Several buyers left reviews that showed their chargers actually exploded and damaged their power sockets. Note: I actually tested all of the chargers, but I didn't include everything in this video because it would be boring to watch. Some of them didn't work at all, and some could only output 0.5A. One of the chargers fell apart when removing it from the socket, exposing metal pins that would be live at 220V AC.
