Motorola Travel (wall) chargers -they dying on anyone else?

[rich_l]

I have a buncc of the travel chargers, the ones with the folding AC prongs, that no longer charge my xooms, either with or without the standard dock.

Anyone else having this problem? What should i do with these junkers?

yes. I put them in my electronics recycle pile. Best buy has a bin for them too.

Mine still going good although i keep expecting that little pin to bend, so i bought a spare one when they had them on sale for $2.50 at staples, found the last one they had.

I've never used them as they are a know issue on the OG Xoom, I have the standard dock and the HD dock I use for charging.

Mine works just fine I only had to replace my first one because I would use it while it was charging and a break was made right where the thick rubber part met the thin cord.

i noticed right away that the travel charger gets way too hot.

battery temps are also much hotter when charging with the travel charger indicating that its charging too fast doesnt matter how much testing moto has done its obviously not correct for maximum battery life my guess is they did it just to have the fastest charging tablet.

i've been using a battery pack with capacitive discharge to charge my xoom for the past 6 months it charges at 12v 1a instead of 1.5a and it fully charges in 3 hours. the half an hour slower charge keeps the battery cooler and its still a quick charge for lithium ion. my battery should last longer then normal.
