TooTall, thanks for that post. To a non-expert like myself, the most interesting part of your video was your use of the clamp-on ammeter to verify the amperage in real time and then to compare the reading from the stand-alone charger to the reading from the built-in converter.
I think it's time for me to get one of those devices, rather than relying solely on my multimeter. After doing a little on-line window shopping, I am amazed at how much the prices vary -- from the $30 range to over $300! I guess it is like anything else -- you get what you pay for -- but I wonder whether a very casual user (like me) can get away with the cheap version.
