Avoid leaving a charger plugged into an outlet without your phone for three important reasons.
Some individuals tend to keep chargers connected to outlets even after their electronic devices have reached full charge. However, not everyone is aware of the potential consequences associated with this behavior.
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU LEAVE THE CHARGER IN THE OUTLET?
Even in standby mode, chargers continue to draw a small amount of electricity due to their internal components. Although the power consumption is minimal, it persists.
Constantly leaving the charger connected to an outlet can lead to overheating, accelerating the wear and tear of internal components such as capacitors.
In the event of a sudden voltage change, a charger plugged into the mains may overheat, potentially causing smoking and, in extreme cases, sparking a fire.
Prioritizing home safety, especially in households with young children or pets, is crucial. A charger left plugged in with a connected cord may pose an electric shock risk.
