The product, in the report: Reversible Micro USB Cables Omaker 2 Pack Reversible Micro USB Cable High Speed USB 2.0 A Male to Micro B Sync and Charging Cable Cord with Reversible USB Port.
Purchased “Omaker 2 Pack Reversible Micro USB Cable High Speed USB 2.0 A Male to Micro B Sync and Charging Cable Cord with Reversible USB Port” from Amazon. The cable ends have been modified to allow them to supposedly be inserted into the mating female socket in either orientation - similar to how the [REDACTED] cables or USB C cables work. The first time I plugged the cable in to charge an external battery pack ([REDACTED] power bank) from an AC USB charger ([REDACTED] port wall charger), the cable shorted, the battery quickly overheated, and the cable became melted to both the charger and the battery. The charger eventually shut off, but left my living room filled with the smell of smoke and burning plastic.
If the charger had not turned off as quickly as it did, the battery could have easily exploded, as it contains a Lithium Ion battery pack.
I feel the modification of an industry standard cable connector type for this function is highly dangerous and inadequate safeguards are built into the product.
