More cheap power supplies ...

Looks as though more folks have been putting "bargain" power supplies to the test and finding them wanting. This time it is a 5 volt USB power supply purchased in the UK that fails to deliver its advertised load.

At 560mA load the voltage has already fallen below 3 Volts, a far cry from its rated 1 Amp!

As most power supplied are simply featureless black boxes it would be nice to be able to rely on the specifications stated on the outside ... sadly you can't as the video below shows.
