Was a bit concerned watching that as I have one of
these by LAP bought from Screwfix which someone fitted 2 yrs ago for me. I've not had any probs with mine and it charges Android devices as expected and is in regular use.
Now I'm not an electrician, but the more I watched, the more I became convinced about the poor quality of this product
- "the back is quite odd with metal tabs that has become a cropper on this side".
- "Android phones refused to charge"
- "Oscilating charge"
and more worryingly for the actual sockets
"No connections between the Earths"
One of the sockets wasn't even earthed!!!! Doesn't that mean the actual socket itself is dangerous nvm anything to do with the USB. Surely this cant meet British safety standards?
I have stopped buying chinese generic electronics goods at all and am super paranoid about stuff.
Yup.. Similar to the reasons why you have to be careful with crap extension leads and double adaptors.
Cheap nasty Chinese crap probably bought on ebay that takes 6-8 weeks to get here.
