Charger shuts off while charging

[Rusty482]

I have an HTC Windows phone (Verizon service) and the original charger (TC P900 US) will shut itself off after a period of time. It charges the phone while it's working. I don't have this issue with my spare chargers only the one that came with the phone. Is the charger designed to do that or might I have a defective charger? If I unplug it for a minute or so, it works again when I plug it back in. It won't start working again until after I unplug it for a short time, doesn't start again on its own. This doesn't affect the phone's operation other than using the battery when the charger shuts off.

The charger is bad, never ran into a charger that shut itself off.
