Default Advice sought on why 6.8A USB charger melted USB cable today

Yet, a bargain 6.8A USB charger is unlikely to be a paradigm of
precision.


That "bargain" 40W USB charger is being offered for $60 online.
The more honest 35W USB charger is offered online for $15.


the same product line from the same company, with the only difference
being 5w?

or are they actually two totally different products from different
companies (one a more well known brand) and with different specs and
different build quality??

in other words, your comparison of two unnamed products without any
links is completely bogus.

Which would you choose if you're buying watts?


why would anyone do that?

build quality and reliability should be a priority, not wattage.

if the charger fails, it could potentially fry the device, if not cause
a fire.
