iClever IC TC02 Charger Problems, Cons, Disadvantages, and Limitations
No Charge Cables Included
Indeed, not all USB charge cables will carry the maximum current available via the IC-TC02. You must use cords designated as high-current charge or high-current charge / data / sync, in order to obtain the most rapid charging from this iClever wall charger. So, given that this current level is at present, a kind of USB specialty, it would be helpful if the adapter included a high current USB cable, say a micro USB or lightning charge cable. However, given the low price of this charger, we certainly do not mind providing our own cables.
Indoor Use Only
Keep this charger away from moist locations and never allow rain to fall on it.
