it depends on if the charger is just a standard 5v 5w supply or if it’s a fast charger i think, because a standard supply doesn’t have anything hooked up to the data lines that can be killed

Now I wonder what would happen if you put a USB killer into one of these.

Pretty sure it’d fry the power supply. Thats my first bet, is that it wouldn’t even get through it.
If it did pass through, it could fry your electronics. A USB killer is a short pulse, and not at all strong compared to main, so I expect that it’d act more like if a neutral was floating, than an actual surge at the voltage a USB killer usually gets to.
No idea for sure though and I’m not an electrician.

Time to go to a friends house. I have experiments to conduct.
