Folding chargers are less durable compared to non-folding chargers. There are several reasons for this.

Mechanical complexity

Folding chargers require a foldable plug or connector, which makes the structure more complex. This mechanical structure is more prone to problems, such as poor contact, jamming, and so on.

Durability of the folding mechanism

Repeated folding and unfolding will cause wear and tear on the folding mechanism. Over a long period of time, the folding mechanism may lose its flexibility or malfunction.

Deterioration of Heat Dissipation

When a folding charger is folded, the heat dissipation performance of the internal components decreases slightly, causing the internal temperature to rise. This can accelerate the deterioration of the internal components.

Design constraints

In order to ensure the compact size of the folded charger, the layout of the internal components and heat dissipation design of the charger is limited, and the reliability will also be slightly.

However, if the usage frequency is not high and the size requirement is large, the folding charger can be a good choice. The key is to pay attention to the use of temperature and folding frequency, as far as possible to extend its use.

Overall, non-folding chargers are more durable and reliable. If you use the charger frequently or need more stability, choose a non-folding charger.
