You plug an off-brand charger into your laptop power bank and smell burning plastic. It is a scary moment that can damage your gear or start a fire.

You plug in your laptop power bank and see it charging at full speed. Then, after a while, the rate drops to exactly 51W. This is frustrating, but it is actually a safety feature.
