Great for Battery Chargers

I bought this adapter to feed a B6 LiPo charger. I've had good luck with Chanzon in the past, and I'm pleased to say this charger lives up to my expectations. The UL listing gives me extra peace of mind, knowing that these have been tested for electrical safety.The power supply feels nice and heavy, and the insides don't sound hollow when you knock on it (unlike countless other cheap, sketchy power supplies out there). That let me know they're putting way more than the bare-minimum components into this thing.I've exclusively used this adapter on battery chargers, and frequently push it close to its maximum current rating. I don't use it long enough to know how it performs long-term, but it doesn't get too hot after about 1 hour of use.Like most other ungrounded power supplies, this one has a tiny bit of leakage current due to the interference-suppressing capacitors, so you'll feel a slight buzz when you touch the negative terminal (or any metal surfaces on devices it powers). I checked with my multimeter and it seems to be around the same, maybe a little higher, than other power supplies I had, but still far from being dangerous.One thing I noticed was that this power supply takes a veeeerrrrry long time to discharge--so don't be surprised if your device stays powered for a few seconds after you unplug it! Totally normal, it just means they're using big smoothing capacitors, which is nice.In conclusion, this feels like a great quality power supply, and it's been performing great for me!
