I got one today for cheap, but It does FEEL cheap as well. I mean it works and my 3ds is charging, but Im googling if they're safe and I hear bad things how can they kill your system potentially is this true?
its no name brand from china, you can find it on ebay for 2 bucks lol.
The reason is that counterfeit and off brand chargers are poorly made, and that means they put your device (and your house) at risk. Many ignore safety standards completely, but they also just don't charge your devices that well because they don't push the amount of power they're supposed to. This means you're spending more time with these devices plugged in, which causes a larger risk to your safety, as well as your device.
That's about it. If you pick the right charger, your devices will charge as quickly as they're supposed and your house won't burn down.
The 3DS' charge circuit controls the current and steps down the voltage, only if the voltage is higher than the charge circuit is able to handle might it destroy the charge circuit and possibly take the battery with it.You can check for the CE mark. cheap charges tend to send too much/less current to the battery which can kill the battery.
Please correct me if im wrong on this one, but i heard something like this a year ago.
