For the last month as a hobby I have been helping Eduardo at his large merchandise store. He purchases returns, tests them "Returned because color is wrong, size, shape, does not work (special battery was stolen out of the package)".
Includes extension cords, plugs and adapters.
A frightening percentage of the Chinese stuff is sent out of the factory "Ready To Catch Fire". Too thin a gauge clips and prongs, incorrectly crimped terminals, etc. I use the Harbor Freight sockets and plugs and manually rewire bad stuff and then amp test it to full capacity.
My advise when using a "new" replacement power device is to not assssssume it is good, especially if "one just like it" had just about caught fire. The cultural freedom brigade of the flying hummingbird honorable factory number 88 might have had a bad day.
"Comrad, Xin tells me the crimping machine has not been working good"
"For how long comrad Li?"
"He does not know"
"Agh! Do we tell the colonel about this most unfortunate accident"
"Don't be a fool Li! You know what the colonel threatened the last time an unfortunate accident occurred"
"Put them on the bottom of the pallet, and ship them out, fast!"
