"When you make a thing, a thing that is new, it is so complicated making it that it is bound to be ugly. But those that make it after you, they don’t have to worry about making it. And they can make it pretty, and so everybody can like it when others make it after you."

I wish I could make estimates like this at work. From the PayPal order confirmation:

OK - I ordered three. Might try to remove the USB ports to use standalone...

Of course, there are all kinds of cheap voltmeters/ammeters without USB:

They aren't that precise, I already own couple of them. And while their sense resistor is only 0.05 ohm, on charging actual device trough this, charge time increases 20-30%, have no idea why.

last year and made it display current for 4s, then flicker and display charge for 0.5s and flicker and
switch back to current. Monitoring charge is handy when I'm charging my phone
What is the difference between charge and current?
If only I got some kickbacks from Ebay, Paypal, and the "Free Shipping " Corporation.
I sure hope this stuff is better than CuriousOne reports!

Gotta love this hoarder's review: You can never have enough Charger Doctors...

I figured it out: charge is sum(current). Presumably starting at 0 from when the monitor is plugged in.

Is that even possible?
How the heck could we have ever lived (if you can call it that) without these, blindly plugging in USB items and letting them charge willy-nilly?
Buy several extras for birthdays, bar mitzvahs, and stocking stuffers. Friends don't let friends charge blindly.

I received my OLED one today but it was DOA. :frown:
Darn. I also received five of these volt meters.
