Cigarette Lighter

I would not be surprised if the cheap cables that we get from China are defective, or burning out the wires.
I know I have had two or three that went bad charging on house current. I like the shorter ones and have been buying them online, cheap.
I have not had any problem with the original cables so guess I will just wrap the wires around the handle bars two hundred times;-)

Cigarette Lighter
Used my cigarette lighter socket to charge my phone yesterday and it worked fine. Also, if you smoke and want to light up while riding, the cigarette lighter is kind of inconvenient to get to. I purchased a couple of flameless electric USB rechargeable lighters from http://www.extremelighter.com/ for around $10.00 each. These can be recharged using your cigarette lighter socket or and computer using the USB port. They also have an LED light built into them.

Charging cable only has 2 wires connected to each connector. Data cable has all the rest connected. Never had a problem charging my Samsung phone with any charge or data cable. Samsung Tablet uses a proprietary cord. iPhone and iPad cords are different, look the same, but an iPad won't charge on an iPhone cord or charger.
