Most people believe you should only charge your device with chargers produced by the manufacturer (e.g. Apple or Samsung). It’s true that you should avoid super cheap and shoddily manufactured chargers at all costs to reduce the risk of frying a device’s battery or having it burst into flames – but there’s a difference between knockoff chargers and third-party chargers. There are chargers made by reputable brands like Belkin or Xvida that work just as well and are totally reliable. Just be sure to purchase chargers at trustworthy electronics retailers online or in store.
