Good Charger Cables for you Tech?

I would not be afraid of a USB charger that gets a little warm to the touch. That just tells you that it is working. If it never got warm at all, I would be a little worried. OTOH, if it gets so hot that it burns, then that is way too hot.

Look at it this way. You've got a half-ampere to a whole ampere of current flowing through some pretty skimpy wires. Why shouldn't it get a little warm due to copper resistance losses?

I have been happy with the cable that came with my limefuel charger last year. Works well with either micro USB or Apple 30 pin devices

Thanks, I think I like that one – more or less what I was looking for but couldn't find. Turns out it is on amazon where I was looking, but too little signal to noise.

BTW, are the cheap Asian ones fragile, and poor quality, or is that just a slander?

Apple devices don't play well with all cables. (Some other devices either) — usually the gauge is too thin.

My personal favourite is:

Super light and works with everything I use. You can remove the adapters you won't be needing.

I bought the one Bayden recommended and it seems to work perfectly with everything. Of course it was the more expensive one that was "Apple Certified" that didn't work with either of the iphones or ipod. Argh!

I just went on Amazon and found a adapter that goes from 1 normal USB connection to a three way; Micro USB, Apple 30 Pin and Lightning connector. IT works well enough I also have one in my get home bag in my car.
