What are good replacement USB chargers that actually last?

[Mrcricket]

I buy a new USB type C cords every few months. I usually pay between R50-R100 for a replacement (often from a Pakistani shop). They silver connection at the end usually ends up bending and the charger becomes harder and harder to use over-time before it eventually gives in.

Are there any replacements that actually last? If so, I would appreciate links.

You talking about USB-A to USB-C or C to C?

USB-C

USB-C but I'd also appreciate if you could suggest a good brand.

Original Samsung, LG or Apple charger or cables.

Gizzu.

I got a USB-A to USB-C and it still looks new, it's about 1.5 years old.

Every few months? You sure your dog isn't chewing them while you're not looking?

Can't recall any cable of any type or brand not lasting multiple years even with daily use. (yes even the notoriusly sketchy apple lightening ones)

Anyway...my preferred "quality" cable choice is braided Anker cables.

I generally am not too good with keeping stuff. I need to get better.

I had the original charger which lasted about 5 months before it gave it (due to bending). I have bought most of my replacements from Pakistani's and their stuff does not last too long for the most part.

Do you need to replace the cable or the charger? something is definitely wrong if your chargers are bombing out so regularly.

If the cable shorts out it will cause the charger to fail..

I doubt that's what's happening here.

I like my Raspberry Pi charger if that is the case
