Hi Ken,
Congrats on a very interesting and well written article.
I have been considering one of the "smart" multi-port (2, 5, 7) USB chargers. Looking on Amazon I've been surprised at how many users experience early failures of bramd name devices(e.g. see the 168 1* reviews of the Anker 5 port 40W USB charger on Amazon.com).
I'm wondering if you have any recommendations for high quality aftermarket chargers (ideally 2-7 ports)? Based purely on user feedback the most reliable option appears to be the Plugable Power 5 port charger (2015).
Let me know if you have any "safe" recommendations. I'm currently leaning towards the Plugable and would be happy to order a unit up to you for analysis, reveiw and teardown if you are interested.
Cheers,
Mike
