1 week agoI tested a $5 phone fix dongle that made bold promises - here's the truth
The USB 'battery repair' dongle is a scam that contains only LEDs and a resistor, and does not restore or repair phone batteries.
There are a lot of weird scam tools out there. Soaring power bills have made the "power saver" scam devices popular, but the other day I came across another odd one called a "USB Phone Battery Repair Multipurpose Battery Restorer Efficient Repair" dongle. Also: Want to cut your electric bill? Skip these scam 'power-saving' devices, and buy this instead It claims to do a lot, but rest assured, all it does is take your money.
