Hello,
I bought this charger from eBay, the price was decent, not the cheapest one and I thought I bought a good quality charger for my tablet and maybe, occasionally for the phone charging also.
The specs says:
Input 100-240VAC 50/60Hz 0.6A
Output: 5V 2A
Safe voltage output to charge phone, right? At least, that what I thought. Well, I tried that and trusting I bought quality charger -what could go wrong- I plugged in my phone and it instantly froze with black screen. I restarted it by pressing power button for 10 seconds and it turned on. What a relief! That what I thought until I plugged in my regular charger to the phone charging port. It was dead, no charging anymore. Long story short, after sending it to repair service, they didn't have the detail for the specific charging circuit, I trashed it and got new phone.
The story continues. I then tried the Delippo charger with my old colorfly g708 tablet that I was not afraid to loose in case something goes wrong (btw, exelent tablet with good specs, loved it, used many years until I broke screen 3rd time and the replacement touch screen was dead and then I broke my usb otg port and finnaly gave up). When I plugged my tablet to the charger, the screen went crazy with erratic movements and freezes but the tablet was fine after unpuging and the charging port was not damaged thankfully.
I then emailed the seller and they send me replacement. After I received it, I tested it again on the tablet. Same erratic movements and freezing screen. When I told the official Delippo seller that I damaged my phone, he insisted, that the charger was ment for tablet and not phone, when I replied that the specs rated it 5V 2A charger and it should be fine, he had nothing to say, if I recall, he offered to send chargers back or something, it was some time ago so I don't recall exactly what the conversation was. Sure enough they didn't compensate my 200 plus euro worth phone.
So here goes my question to you, my dear badcap members:
is there something wrong with both chargers or my understanding that all micro usb chargers within the same specs should be the same? Isn't 5.75V and 5.65V out of the 5V tolerance levels?
Here are the pictures and voltage measurement I took (1st charger 5.75V, 2nd charger 5.65V or so). On circuit board to the solder points the voltage did not measure at all for some reason but only at the micro usb connector end. Is that normal? What can you tell looking at the pictures, does it look like normal quality charger and what could be wrong with it?
