Warning: Never leave a charger in a socket without your phone: I tell you the three main reasons why.
After recharging their electronic device, some people forget to unplug the charger from the socket. However, few are aware of the potential repercussions of such an act.
What happens if the charger is left plugged in? Some parts of the charger consume power even when it is in standby mode. This phenomenon persists even if the charger consumes very little power.
Repeatedly plugging the charger into a power outlet will cause it to overheat and accelerate wear on its internal parts, including capacitors.
Keeping your home safe is also essential, especially if you have small children or pets. A charger with a cable plugged into the mains could electrocute you.
