The potential drawbacks of “overcharging” our phones, which refers to leaving them plugged in after they’ve reached full battery capacity, can potentially reduce the battery’s effectiveness over time. But what about the impact on the charger itself? The charger being constantly plugged into the wall outlet, whether behind the bed or beside the sofa, could be costing us money or posing a safety hazard.
There have been plenty of stories of phones bursting into flames or exploding during the charging process. In addition to using an authentic charger, it’s crucial to ensure that nothing covers your phone while it charges, allowing the heat generated to dissipate safely.
Unfortunately, using the phone while charging can pose a danger to the user, just like a 13-year-old girl from the States.
It happened that the girl’s mother noticed strange red marks on her daughter’s neck after she complained she was experiencing pain.
The burns were quite serious so her mom took her to the doctor’s. Once at the hospital, it was determined that she got them while talking to a friend with her phone plugged into a wall charger. The presence of a metal necklace led to an electric arc, resulting in the burns.
The mom is now sharing her daughter’s story to prevent others from getting burned the way her daughter did.
