While Cheap chargers can appear to be a good saving, they aren't, necessarily.

While it's not quite the same thing, my Sister's boyfriend makes a big thing about how he can get Apple dock leads for a couple of pounds, much less than the £15 I spent on an Apple one.

He gets through one every couple of months where I had my first Apple dock lead for over 10 years, and only got rid of it because I got an iPhone 5. Working it out, over the years, he has spent far more on Dock leads than I have.

Now, I realise that a Power Supply is more complicated than a lead, and whether you spend 50p or £50 on one, it can still blow with no apparent reason, but to some extent, you get what you pay for.
