I bought a replacement battery that was not OEM off eBay. After about 4-6 months of use, the thing nearly blew up on me. The battery got so hot it could’ve started a fire. Seriously, spend the extra money, its not worth the risk.

If you’re buying a replacement make sure it meets the safety standards and it is approved for use. I’m going to be buying only OEM batteries/chargers from now on.

    Cable and charger are two seperate things like batteries are, they are all.different components.

    Usb pd specs has nothing to do with the cable that might end up being used with it.

    You arent going to use a low guage wire to carry a ton of power, as you arent supposed to.

      I’m saying when there’s an opportunity to cheap out and raise margins, before disappearing into the night, a lot of “brands” will. When their Amazon reviews start reflecting that they’re shit, they’ll just discontinue that brand, and resurface with another.
