I foolishly went and bought a cheap charger for my iPod touch. What are the consequences? I am quite sure it will not short-circuit, but other than that what might happen? What happens if the circuit or voltage is too high? I would appreciate answers that include the technical side of this as I can't find that information. Does the authentic charger include a timer? I know Apple doesn't release this information but there must be another way of finding out. Or is it the circuit in the iPod that prevents overcharging? Or is it the combination or some message sent by the iPod to the charger? My mother won't be too happy about me buying the authentic charger after getting the cheap one. How will it affect the battery? And can Apple find out if I apply for a warranty after some other problem occurs? Thanks.
