I don't understand why you'd charge extra money for a 1k device to last 3 years. That should be table stakes! Also, a bad USB charger should not kill a device

  > Also, a bad USB charger should not kill a device. Then you've not seen bad USB chargers. Of course a device that by design is pumping voltage could ruin whatever it is connected to - especially if the connected device is sensitive equipment. I've seen a USB charger pumping -1 to 11 volts AC out the USB connector - it was fluctuating 6 volts in either direction. Of course, you need an oscolliscope to detect that as it's at 50 hertz (C plug) - on a regular voltmeter it looked like 5 v steady.
