Some individuals tend to leave chargers plugged into outlets even after fully charging their electronic devices.
However, not everyone is aware of the potential consequences of this behavior.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN IF YOU LEAVE THE CHARGER IN THE OUTLET?
Even in standby mode, chargers continue to draw a small amount of power. Although the energy consumption is minimal, it persists.
Continuously keeping the charger connected to an outlet can lead to overheating and accelerate the wear of internal components such as capacitors.
In the event of a sudden voltage change, a charger left plugged into the outlet can overheat and, in extreme cases, result in smoke and even a fire.
It is crucial to prioritize home safety, especially in households with small children or pets.
A plugged-in charger with a connected cable can pose a risk of electric shocks.
