Note 4 Charging Cord: Worried it'll fray like iPhones

[vasekvi]

Hey all I know is that multiple people messaged me and all had Samsung cords that came with their phones and they were all frayed and all were white. OP is headed that way too. *shrugs*

This kind of relates to the topic about chargers. So I have a moto g and the Motorola charger I have sometimes doesn't charge my phone unless I take it and pull the cord and stretch it then it works any idea why its in perfect condition, and I've only had the phone about 3 weeks!!! Also can I use one of these chargers from my old Samsung Galaxy Ring, Zte Awe, or Kyocera Event and it won't damage or effect my battery? Any help is appreciated and about the Samsung charger burning that's a slightly common issue withe the S3 and S4 just check out the YouTube videos scary!!!

Any charger will work. Just check the power output of the charger as it should be printed on the plug somewhere. You want at least 1amp to get a decent charge rate. Sounds like you have a short in yours somewhere. Yes Samsung have burned here and there but I should not have been using a frayed cable regardless of if it fell apart on me or not.

Well the problem is I've had 4 Moto g's and all the chargers except for one have did the same thing so here's 5 charger's I have which should I use?
Input/Output
Moto G Motorola= 0.2A/5.0V=550mA
Samsung= 0.15A/5.0V=0.7A
Kyocera= 0.2A/5.0V=800mA
Zte= 250mA/5.0V=1000mA
On the Samsung I'm guessing 700mA Output?

Correct. 0.7amp equals 700mAh

I've been using amazon basics cables, seem to be good quality. Apple has replaced every cord I've taken in, and if my s4 cord were to start to crack, I'd take it to the Samsung shop and lean on them pretty hard.

Since replacement cables from Samsung are not very expensive why not just purchase an original or two?
As for durability, I am using Samsung cables from my S4, S5, Note 3, Note 4, Note 8, and Note Pro 12.2 and have never had any failures.

If you want to make it bullet proof get that stuff and wrap it up. We used to call it F-4 tape cause it was the only thing good enough to hold together the Fantom fighter jet. I have used it for all kinds if stuff sine then. Comes in every imaginable color.
