PSA-
Ever wonder why some chargers work better than others?
There is an App for that. Ampere. Download it and run it while charging your phone and will give charging health info. Once you throw away the bad ones, then use only your good ones for your phone or other devices that have USB charging. My quick study told me it comes down to mA (milliAmp) reading which somewhat correlates to the voltage listed on the charger itself, but also the actual quality of the unit. But - I've purchased some more expensive chargers over the years thinking they would give me better quality and better capacity. Not necessarily so. YMMV
App looks like this:
For me, my Samsung chargers worked best which actually makes sense. Some of these other ones either sucked, and in one case actually discharged my phone. That Stanley on the end was the one that made me do this exercise as it was touted as the best you can buy.
