The biggest risk with fake or uncertified chargers is the mismatch between the advertised power rating and what they actually deliver. A product boxed as '65W' might actually output far less, and unevenly at that, which means the device charges slower than expected and the battery can suffer damage over time.
A more serious risk is that these products often lack, or have inadequate, overcurrent, overvoltage and short-circuit protection. Without these safeguards, a sudden power grid fluctuation can damage the connected phone, and in a worst-case scenario, create a genuine fire hazard.
There are some practical ways to spot fakes: an unusually low price, a missing or unclear CE mark, poorly printed labels, and a seller who cannot provide clear technical specifications. A legitimate manufacturer will typically state wattage, certification and warranty details clearly on the product page.
The risk grows even higher with fake high-power (above 100W) cables and adapters, since high power in low-quality materials means more heat and a higher failure rate. Brand trust becomes especially critical in this segment.
Buying from CE-certified, protection-equipped brands like Charjett may look like a slightly higher upfront cost, but it is a far smarter investment for both device safety and long-term battery health.
