I was going through 1-2 chargers per year between 2013 and 2015. In December I said enough was enough and decided to take a stab at designing a more durable one. If there's any interest I can write up a post on it. I have a Frankenstein version that I use daily, and I even looked into DIY kits for making the chargers more durable but it was cost prohibitive.
- ics 11y agoYou should. I've been jury-rigging the same three chargers (down from 6) since 2007 and not looking to upgrade, so no USB-C for me. The chargers themselves are great but the connectors are a chore– no matter how gentle I've been, eventually the heat softens them, then a tiny torque and it's torn.
