When charging a mobile phone, many people have the habit of not unplugging their charger, and some even haven't unplugged their phone charger for the whole year.
So what are the effects of the charger being plugged into the socket for a long time when the phone is not charging? Let's take everyone to reveal the secret.
The impact of not unplugging the charger for a long time
1. Shorten the lifespan of the charger
If the charger is plugged into the socket for a long time, due to the composition of the electronic components of the charger, there will be a slight current passing through the socket, which can cause heating and aging of the components, and some may even experience short circuits, greatly shortening the lifespan of the charger.
2. Power consumption
The charger has been plugged into the socket all the time. Although the phone has not been charged, the internal circuit board of the charger is powered on, so the charger is in working mode and will consume electricity.
3. There are safety hazards present
The charger is always plugged into the socket. If the charger is of poor quality and generates severe heat, coupled with the enclosed living environment and hot weather, it is easy to create an environment for the charger to self ignite and explode.
Of course, because the charger is equipped with a protective device, the probability of the charger triggering spontaneous combustion and explosion is very low.
However, it is not possible to rule out the possibility of equipment malfunctions or counterfeit chargers in the village. It is best to simply unplug the charger or turn off the socket switch to avoid safety accidents.
4. Small charging matters, big safety matters
The materials and circuit boards used for regular charging heads are in accordance with national standards, and their weight generally does not undergo significant changes.
If you buy a charging head that is significantly lighter in weight, it may be a counterfeit charging head. This type of charging head can pose a safety hazard if it is plugged into a socket for a long time without being pulled out.
Do not charge in excessively cold or hot environments, such as near refrigerators, ovens, heaters, or in direct sunlight.
If your family is living in a frequently high temperature state and you often forget to unplug the charger, it is recommended to use a high-temperature resistant charging head with a built-in high-performance switching transformer.
For the convenience of using mobile phones for charging, we are accustomed to charging near the head of the bed or near the pillow. It is recommended not to place the charged phone near flammable pillows/sheets. If you want to charge the phone overnight, it is best to stay away from sleeping areas.
When the interface of the charger is loose or too tight, and some data cables are exposed, it is easy to leak electricity during the charging process, which can form a closed circuit with the human body and the floor, posing a safety hazard.
So it is necessary to replace the data cable that has been used for a long time in a timely manner, and pay more attention to its workmanship when choosing a data cable.
