I like this one. Paid ~$1 more a couple months ago. It's not like this price is unheard of, but it's a pretty good deal.

I didn't see any UL-Listed or other certification indicating its design safety.
Shouldn't this be an issue with these chargers?

Edit:
Looking further, it has an image in its marketing for a TÜV safety cert. This isn't something I've heard of and the image isn't a clickable link to check with the third-party certification service to see if the product is listed.

Edit 2:
I was able to search on
[www.tuvsud.com]
for "Anker A2145"
to find a record for a cert with TÜV. The product number was needed in the search since the marketing name Anker 736 Charger and variants thereof yielded no results.

TÜV is a German approvals organization. If a product is TÜV listed, I don't worry about UL. UL is good but has had some issues like approving Fire Sprinkler heads that had serious issues. Side note - a UL tag on an appliance cord only approves the cord and not the entire product. Many don't know this.
