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.
