Hi, I need a new wall charger/lead for my tablet and there are just so many listed on Amazon (I have vouchers to spend there) - most of them allegedly genuine, but various odd comments claiming they're in fact fake, even when the majority of feedback is good. Any recommendations welcome.

Many thanks.

    Go for the one with the most good reviews. Remember there are always going to be some that aren't satisfied.
    do you not have a mobile phone charger you can use?

    I use a Cheotech 5 port charger that has 3 regular speed and 2 high speed charging ports. Bought it from Amazon and its nearly 3 years old now working fine.

    I am concerned that one day I'll forget to unplug my charger at night or when I go out and there'll be a fire. Even those described as 'genuine' seem to have a few comments saying they are fake. Some claim to be genuine but don't come in retail packaging.

    Somebody gave me a spare charger they have, made by Ameego, it does charge quickly, but it gets hot so I'm just not happy using it.

    I purchased a spare phone battery for a samsung phone from ebay and it constantly over heated the phone so i got rid of it.

    Buy from 'proper' Amazon, not a marketplace seller.
