Review on Convenient Motorola XOOM Travel Charger - Retail Packaging by Josh Valentino

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Looks best with accessories

No difference from original. Warning only to adapt another 12v charger, I opened up the old charger to see if anything was obvious and it was some complicated adapters. A few capacitors, a voltage regulator, diodes, what appears to be an inductor and a bridge rectifier. And behind some microcircuits. I have a few chargers laying around, who doesn't, and I wanted to cut the ends off and just chop them up. Maybe it's not such a good idea. I know some adapters are pretty basic. A transformer and maybe just 2 diodes and nothing else. Delivery is fast, works perfectly. Interestingly, the old one failed due to a flimsy thin connector on the Xoom side. He messed it up, but I never checked. The output wobble would have made it work a bit so is unknown. Looks authentic.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Insecure
