| [* black] Real quick though, let's take a peek at the UL-certified charger. After all, house fires from charging hoverboards [http://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2016/jan/05/overheating-hoverboard-blamed-fire-severely-damages-melbourne-home|have been reported|new_window=true]... | |
| [* black] To be honest, it looks pretty messy, but we don't like to judge a charger by its... random epoxy? So we consulted charger guru [http://www.righto.com/|Ken Shiriff of Righto.com|new_window=true], who said: | |
| [* black] ''"Looks like a straightforward flyback switching power supply. I don’t see any cause for complaints...The charger looks solid. I don’t see any corners cut. The design is ‘unchallenging’—they didn’t try to make it as small as possible; Apple probably would have made it half the size."'' | |
| [* black] So hey, as long as you have a ''real'' Swagway, with a ''real'' UL-certified charger, you should be fine? Probably. | |
