A power strip full of chargers is not "convenient" but "dangerous"! After reading this article, you will want to go home and unplug the power cord

Edit: Thanks

One of my husband and dad’s favorite things to do is to plug different types of charging cables into the power strip, including those for mobile phones, headphones, tablets, etc. They call this behavior “convenience”, but in the eyes of my mom and me it is like a “time bomb”.

Recently, a man in Jiangxi left his mobile phone charger at the bedside table unplugged, and the metal head of the data cable burned a hole in his pillow. Fortunately, it was discovered in time and no major disaster occurred.

How a charger could be so powerful that it could cause a fire

A charger is a device that converts high voltage electricity into low voltage direct current. If it is left on the power strip for a long time, it will continue to heat up, accelerate the aging of the equipment, and easily cause short circuits or high voltage breakdown, thus posing a fire hazard.

Therefore, when the charger is connected to the socket, even if the mobile phone is not charged, it is still in working condition. It not only consumes electricity and causes waste, but also poses many safety hazards.

Take the mobile phone charger as an example. If it is always plugged into the socket, it will heat up seriously, especially unqualified charging cables are prone to spontaneous combustion.

The "instructions for use" of a charger states that it is not recommended to charge in an overly cold or overheated environment. When charging, be careful to avoid appliances such as refrigerators or ovens, or places that are exposed to direct sunlight. If the environment where you live is often in a high temperature state, it is recommended to configure some high-performance, high-temperature resistant switch transformer chargers. Do not charge near the bedside or sheets. Many people habitually put the charger at the bedside because it is convenient to use the phone while lying down, but if a danger occurs, the adjacent bed will be ignited.

Do not use a damaged data cable to charge. The charging head of many mobile phone original charging cables is easily damaged, and the metal wire inside will leak out, which will easily cause leakage during the charging process. Therefore, you must replace your charging cable in time when it is damaged.
