I have two power strips connected in serial. It is wall->strip A->strip B.
I have two Huawei cell phones, different models. When I plug phone A to strip B, the phone can charge. However, if I plug phone B to strip B, after overnight, the battery capacity is still zero (zero to start with).
If I plug phone A or B to strip A, it can charge.
In conclusion:
strip B can charge only phone A but not phone B. strip A can charge both phones.
Any explanation to this mystery? Thanks.
