This is a really interesting article, and might cause me to reconsider a purchase I was investigating. Still though, it seems like the proprietary characteristics of the chargers don't actually have anything to do with the power, they're just protecting their own market, right? If so wouldn't the best charger just be the one that delivered the cleanest power (and was still accepted by the device)? I'm interested in buying a USB "charging station" type device that I can plug any of my family's devices into (iPhones, MP3 players, a kindle, maybe a drone battery now after Christmas!). Are ANY of those ok, or should I abandon the idea? Your awful numbers on the Bellingham charger made me think that even trusting a name brand might not be good enough.
