Dangers of not unplugging the charger

Mobile phones are the most common communication devices in people's lives. Nowadays, mobile phones have more and more functions. People often leave chargers plugged in to power strips and don't unplug them for months. The harm of not unplugging the charger is relatively large. First of all, it will affect the life of the charger, and of course it will also consume electricity. More importantly, it will create some safety hazards, which is also an important cause of fire.

The dangers of not unplugging the charger

1. Shorten the life of the charger

Since the charger is made up of electronic components, leaving it plugged in for a long time can easily cause heat, aging of components, or even a short circuit, greatly shortening the life of the charger.

2. Power consumption

After charging, the charger is kept plugged into the socket. Although the mobile phone is not charged, the circuit board inside the charger is still in normal working condition and will consume power. Research data shows that if an iPhone's original charger is not unplugged, it consumes about 1.5 kWh of electricity per year.

3. There are potential safety risks

The charger (especially the low-quality one) has been plugged into the socket for a long time, causing the charger itself to heat up seriously. Coupled with the closed living environment and hot summer, the charger can easily catch fire or explode.

Therefore, you must remember to unplug the charger after charging, and for your own safety, you must do the following three things:

1. Do not charge in an overly cold or overheated environment.

2. Do not charge near pillows and sheets.

3. Do not use a damaged charging cable.

The reasons why the mobile phone charger is not unplugged and may cause explosion or fire:

If the charger is not unplugged for a long time and is still in working condition, it will easily age and shorten its lifespan. The charger's usage time will be shortened, causing safety hazards and even fires, explosions, accidental electric shocks and other accidents. It is worth mentioning that many mobile phone users go to work without unplugging the plug after charging. Either there is no one at home, or only the elderly and children are left at home. These increase the possibility of unsafe accidents and bring harm to the family.

Note:

1. Try to use the original charger. When buying mobile phone chargers and batteries, be sure to choose qualified products from regular manufacturers. Do not buy products with substandard electrical performance from irregular small manufacturers just to save money. A good charger has an overheating self-protection circuit inside. When the internal temperature reaches a certain value, it will automatically disconnect the power supply, providing a certain degree of protection. Taking the iwalk Jaguar Charger M5 charger as an example, in addition to the national 3C certification, it also has overseas FCC certification, RoHS certification, and KCC certification; iwalk is insured by PICC with US$2 million in product liability insurance; 5 USB ports support a variety of mobile devices; compatible with 5V USB devices, with a 100-240 volt wide voltage design; smart IC chip, intelligently adjusts the current according to different models.
