Yes, having two chargers from the same source "blow up" tells me you are buying knock off chargers.

When you said they had "blown up" ... I figured you meant that there was smoke or fire coming out of it ... :-) ...

no when I originally thought they had "blown up" it had knocked my electrics out and I google it which gave me the impression of blowing up but turns out they are both working perfectly
