In this episode of Power Pod Live!, we break down the real reasons chargers and cables stop working—and it's probably not what you think.

Most people blame fast charging, cheap cables, or bad luck. The truth is far more practical—and far more fixable.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• The hidden stress points that quietly destroy charging cables long before they stop working

• Why fast charging isn't the villain, and what actually causes heat and battery wear

• How to build a "set-and-forget" power setup that works reliably at home, at work, and on the go

• The single weakest point in almost every charging setup—and how to reinforce it

We also share this episode's Current Insight, a simple but powerful observation that explains why most charging problems happen at the connector—not the outlet.

If you're tired of unreliable charging, overheating adapters, and cables that only work "at a certain angle," this episode will completely change how you think about power.
