USB charger dilemma

As long as the charger conforms to USB specs, there should be little or no risk. Personally, I prefer to use the quick chargers that come with each device. They are significantly faster than USB and perfectly matched to their own device.

Yeah I just wanted to avoid a Christmas Tree on my PDU. This way, one outlet = 5 devices and also no worrying about which one of the wires has 500ma, 1A , 2A or beyond. The PDU's fed from a UPS so it's conditioned power but I was wondering what could go wrong on the unit itself above and beyond a 'proper' vendor supplied USB charger.

Does your UPS actually condition power? Regular consumer ones don't. They simply pass through outlet power and then switch to battery if it cuts off
 
I don't have 'regular consumer ones'.

as I said it's not so much the power I'm concerned about, although I guess it would be if I plugged it in elsewhere. It's how the UNIT might fail.

I bought one of them off of Amazon.com. Ports began failing. They sent me a new one. Ports are now failing.
