All these including Asmo Charger have no benefits compared to a stardard charger. It seems that Asmo Solutions has invented the wheel again...<br /><br />Something needs to be done to stop this false advertising.<br /><br />There is this comment posted to Kaleva's article on 27.3.2014. Almost three years ago it told what Asmo Charger really is all about.<br /><br />”Mistä näitä sikiää. Kaikki CE-direktiivin mukaiset kännykkälaturit ovat palo- ja sähköturvallisia, täyttävät mm. EN60950-standardin ja UL94-V0 palonestoluokituksen. Ns. ECO-direktiivi on jo kymmenen vuotta sitten kännykkälatureiden virrankulutuksen olemattomaksi, joten mitä tässä oikein on keksitty, kaikki on keksitty jo vuosia sitten(?). Keksijä todennnäköisesti on kuvitellut tekevänsä fiksusti hyödyntäessään USB-OTG:n virransyöttökykyä puhelimen akusta, mutta samalla tehnyt suuren lähtökohtavirheen koska puhelimella pitää pystyä soittamaan hätäpuhelu kahden minuutin kuluttua tyhjällä akulla ja ilman SIM-korttia. Tuon puutteen takia on varmaa, että kukaan puhelinvalmistaja ei lähde lunastamaan oikeuksia ko. tuoteideaan, eli valitettavasti idealla on huono ennuste.”<br /><br />This is intresting in Kaleva's article:<br /><br />”Paloturvallisuus perustellaan sillä, että laite kestää jopa salamaniskun sähköverkkoon.”<br /><br />Asmo Charger is ”fire safe” because in can even endure a lightning strike to the mains. This is a BIG LIE.<br /><br />http://www.kaleva.fi/teemat/digi/oulussa-kehitettiin-paloturvallinen-kannykkalaturi/660094/Ouluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03168717706389736137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758126489576219293.post-48111922005622291422016-11-30T10:54:23.614+02:002016-11-30T10:54:23.614+02:00The only advantage Asmo Charger has over this one ...The only advantage Asmo Charger has over this one as there is an active on-off switch feature. It has also larger peak charging current.<br /><br />Interestingly i found several other chargers with very same feature set:<br /><br />https://www.amazon.com/Volt-Star-EcoCharger-Mini-Micro-Adapters/dp/B003ZWJ09M<br /><br />https://www.amazon.com/Verizon-Wireless-Micro-USB-Thunderbolt-Incredible/dp/B004Z1WXW8<br /><br />https://www.amazon.com/Bracketron-Mushroom-GreenZero-Travel-Charger/dp/B007G9789E/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8<br /><br />All are from around 2010-2012.. There could be more out there from the past. I must stress FROM THE PAST. All these chargers are failed attempts. The market did not take them up as they were prone to failure due to the added functionality, some even reported smoke and small fire... However the main issue as we said it many times, the fact that normal cell chargers are consuming so small stand-by current that they are not worth to replace. The fire hazard thing as we know is a total hoax...<br /><br />I am investigating how to report Asmo solutions to the consumer protection agency for false advertising. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
