Since it is a 100W charger that can output 100W, it has to re-adjust each time a device connects/disconnects. It is annoying, but it is the nature of the beast
To the person saying that the connect and disconnect is normal, no it's not, not in my experience. I use my anker charger regularly and do not have that issue.
I bought a wide monitor for $250, didn't like it, it would have cost me $200 shipping to return.
dumped it on a swap site for $100.
Last night at ~11pm, it died a spectacular death. Loud pop, sparked, and now has a terrible burnt plastic smell. Completely dead and won't be touching it again. Thank goodness I was awake; had it right next to my bed.
Contacted Monoprice, and even 6 months post-purchase (Dec 2022 purchase → May 2023 electrical explosion), they gave full store credit and interestingly, did not want the burnt one back.
Not a safe deal, my dudes. We aren't the only ones. Someone on Monoprice wrote almost the exact thing in a review and a third person had this experience in the other thread:
Not only did this die within 6 months, it went out with a loud pop and started emitting tons of smoke! Burned to the touch when I ran to unplug it from the outlet. I hate to think what could've happened had I not been home at the time.
To confirm, this is the square 100W one (PN43556 at the top left). It is ETL Intertek certified, so it really shouldn't be sparking except for poor QA or a latent defect that takes some months to appear.
