/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>want to charge my watch but i lost the original wall wart
>whatever i will just use the phone one
>it works two times and then the watch stops charging
>write the chink company who made the watch
>oh you have to use wall warts with max 1A output or the charging dock will melt BAAAAAKA
holy shit what kind of retarded design is this? why the fuck isn't there some current limiting circuitry to limit the current so shit won't melt? And so I ripped open the charging dock like the EE chad that I am and it's literally just a cable and a pcb with pins, so i repaired the broken burned wore and added an lm317 in CC mode to provide constant .5C charging current, and then the watch will take care of cutting it off when the battery is charged, so now i can magically use any wall wart i want, holy shit fucking dark magic!
fucking incompetent chinks, how hard is it to include a vital 10 cent part in your $300 fucking product
