Attention: Never leave a charger plugged into an outlet without your phone. I will explain the three main reasons why. Some people forget to unplug the charger after charging their electronic device.
However, few are aware of the potential consequences of such an action. What happens if the charger remains plugged in? Certain parts of the charger continue to consume energy even in standby mode. This phenomenon persists even if the charger consumes very little energy.
Repeatedly plugging the charger into an outlet leads to overheating and faster wear of internal components, including capacitors. A charger plugged into a wall socket can overheat and emit smoke during sudden voltage changes, potentially causing a fire.
The safety of your home is also crucial, especially if you have small children or pets. A plugged-in charger can pose an electrical shock hazard.
