Accessories What would cause phone not to charge?

Ok I have an ebay "IMAX" charger, this one right here: http://cgi.ebay.com/Battery-AC-WALL...529422?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f01d2c34ehttp://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-5...tem=270613529422&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT and I believe there's another brand that's pretty much the same thing(Yiboyuan); these chargers double as a USB wall outlet/adapter.

Anyways a couple days ago I plugged in the USB cable to my phone and although it gave the "charge status" on the phone, but the battery did not charge. The phone also got pretty hot. It was at 50% when I charged it and 50% when I unplugged it maybe 3-4hrs later. The USB cable is the one that comes with the phone and works completely fine when hooked up to another wall adapter.

Is anyone also using the same charger? If so does USB work fine for you?
 
Thanks guys. That's really weird though as I don't have a problem with the car charger(Kensington).

icrazy2u, did you try any other chargers when it did this?

I should add, that when it was doing this(charge status but not charging), the phone was VERY laggy; to the point that I thought it froze. I'd swipe to unlock and it would just sit there...after about 10 tries it finally goes to the home screen but is still very laggy.
