The Apple certified cables with lightning adaptors have a special chip which communicates with the battery system in the iDevice to best manage the battery charge and condition. Non Apple certified lightning adaptor cables do not have this chip, and will shorten one's ultimate battery life. I only use Apple certified cables for this reason.
Also, Apple certified wall adaptors have regulator technology which stops current flow if there is a strong power draw as well as surge protection. This system communicates with the lightning chip to best manage the iDevice or Mac battery condition and charging.
