JASO MA and JASO MA2 what's the difference?

JASO MA and JASO MA2 what's the difference?

JASO MA blended with good amount of friction modifiers. But does not protect Catalytic Converters.

JASO MA2 blended with less friction modifiers and protects Motorcycles with Catalytic Converters.

If your motorcycle does not have a catalytic converter, why choose JASO MA2?

If your motorcycle had a Catalytic Converter which one do you protect first? The engine or the catalytic converter.

All Fully Synthetic blend motorcycle oils comes in JASO MA2.

Mineral oil had JASO MA.

The Engine should be the top priority.

I still use mineral oil on my small and standard motorcycles as the factory recommends JASO MA.

I think the Motorcycle Factory/Engineers knows best. So I just follow what the manual recommends.

But you can always break the rule. But in motorcycles you might also break something on it when you do.

Akawa USB Wall Charger? Anyone?

Akawa USB Wall Charger? Anyone?

         Recently I bought a charger called Akawa, Anyone heard about this brand? Is it good? Can't find any information about this charger online. But I bought it anyway.

         

Here is what I found, it has 1 amp port and a 2.1 amp port. Both ports produce the correct amps indicated (estimated using an android app). The Akawa logo on top lights up and also can make a good night lamp while charging. 

         

The problem I have encountered is that it heats up. A lot warmer than my original usb charger. And sometimes it's normal. This might be due to energy waste me, a normal thing in electronic adaptors where the electricity or current is controlled to produce the correct current for the device. I can live with that "a little bit warm than other" charger because it is  pretty much normal.

        

         

What bothers me is, when I noticed there isn't any safety certification marks on the charger itself and on the packaging, no CE marks,uL which is a requirement to be sold in Europe. And it doesn't indicate where it is made. It is indicated in the packaging made in china, but this is the first charger I bought without any info just a website of the company. Checking out the website, the product is not listed, googled it and none. No one has reviewed this product, no one even sells it online. I emailed the company but there is no reply. Legit or not. I doubt using this for safety reasons. 

This will be the only review you will find online about this product. All are questions but no answers.

Pros: product is well made

          Night light when charging at night

          Both ports read the correct currents

Cons: no safety certification marks

           No made in china printed on the adaptor itself.

           Cannot find the brand name online. Only the distributor.

           Online product support does not respond

           A little warmer than other chargers.
