I bought a cheap power bank that died after two weeks

Grabbed a '10,000mAh' power bank from a discount store for $12. It worked fine for a bit, then just stopped holding any charge at all. I lost the $12 and had to buy a real one anyway. Anyone know a good brand that actually lasts?

My old roommate got a knockoff power bank from a gas station for like eight bucks. It swelled up in his backpack one day and we had to throw it in a bucket of sand on the patio. I mean, it was kind of scary actually. I just stick with the boring ones from the electronics store now, idk.

Had a cheap charger melt my car's USB port once.

Oh wow, @ben206, my buddy had that happen too and the whole console smelled like burnt plastic for weeks.
