Overcharging our phones, defined as leaving them plugged in after reaching full battery capacity, may gradually diminish battery effectiveness. Yet, what about the charger's own implications? Constantly plugged into the wall, whether behind a bed or beside a sofa, it might be draining our wallets or posing safety risks.
Instances of phones igniting or exploding during charging are not unheard of. Beyond using a genuine charger, it's vital to ensure nothing obstructs the phone during charging, allowing generated heat to disperse safely.
Regrettably, using a phone while charging can imperil the user, as illustrated by a 13-year-old girl's ordeal in the United States.
It transpired when the girl's mother noticed peculiar red marks on her daughter's neck after she complained of pain.
The burns proved severe, prompting her mother to seek medical assistance. At the hospital, it was revealed that the injuries occurred while she conversed with a friend, her phone connected to a wall charger. The presence of a metal necklace triggered an electric arc, causing the burns.
The mother now shares her daughter's ordeal to caution others against similar incidents.
