No.

The current (amps) will not vary greatly. What will vary is the voltage you get out of the end of the lead.

An extreme example but you could stuff 5V @ 2A into one end of the lead and get 4V @ 2A out of the far end.

that is correct. but the power ie 10W v 8W in your example will be lower and that is ultimately what we're interested in and what charges the device.

it's lazy really to describe the output of these charges in Amps when we're really interested in watts. but it happens because we know they are all 5V at source.

so they are real chargers but they are badged as a brand that is fake.

the whole sale price of an unbranded two amp charger in china is around $0.50 and they are entirely real.

again, nice try

i don't understand what you are saying.

i asked you what a fake charger and lead was. you have explained what you meant.

i'm not trying anything.

If something is real then its not fake. Its when something is fake but sold as real. Some items its hard to tell the difference if your joe public like myself.

I was quite surprised when I was looking at a charger for my remote control car batteries that there are fake ones about as well (one of the main differences is the hologram sticker on the bottom).

They seem to forge anything nowadays.

Oh....... do you, proof please..........:yawn::yawn:

What about buying through a reputable seller on Taobao? I'm guessing that would be fairly cheap, even accounting for shipping from China?

When I searched for Taobao.com the site is totally Chinese?

Are you saying you don't speak chinese?

i buy my chinese crap from focalprice.com

Here is a link to the fake battery charger and the difference. http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en...m4BsbXPNqzgKgE

I have ordered a 2a plug but I am struggling to find a micro usb 2 amp cable to fit it. Please can anyone help me locate a coupleon ebay or amazon or any site for that matter.
