The only Lisen product I have is the car charger with retractable cables that pops up here from time to time. Works fine, but it's mostly a backup for when I have extra devices that need charging.
I used this three way cable a lot with all three connectors pretty regularly for a year and it was worked well: https://a.co/d/d6huY6c
I'm kind of surprised I bought something with so few reviews but for whatever reason I bought it a couple of years ago and it worked out. I just generally try to avoid triple charging cables these days because they're just kind of cluttery. I do keep one in my laptop bag just in case I need an extra while traveling. .
I may actually buy another as I need more varied connectors now with Apple going to USB-C.
So I am thinking, Apple might put some restricting on using non Apple chargers. I know Samsung will do this for fast chargers. That said it does work with the iPhone but my coworker aid it took 24 to charge up her device, while anyone with an android device said it work as a normal charger would.
So I don't know what was up with this, but if you have android I'd recommend it, but from my experience if you have an iPhone skip it.

And yes, that includes 9V/3.1A, even on devices that support 9V. I read that limitation.

Apple does not restrict non-Apple chargers. This is just the one product group Lisen stinks at / shouldn't have bought themselves.
There is another similar one with USB-c but that one is an unknown brand and I would not want to risk a phone to it; hopefully Lisen or other well known brands can make one:

In short I will say it works fine for android or kindle but I cannot recommend it for an iPhone.

It's a bad cable. I suspect it has a small IC to handle switching for the three types, and they cut corners.
I would love to blame Apple, but these cheap hydra cables are the bad apple.
