Always remember to unplug your phone charger from the outlet when you're not using it. I will reveal the three main reasons!

 

Leaving chargers plugged in after charging your devices might not seem like a big deal, but it can have important consequences.

Even when not in use, chargers still use a little bit of power. Using a lot of power all the time can make things get too hot and make parts inside, like capacitors, wear out faster. In serious situations, a charger that gets too hot can start to smoke or even start a fire, especially if the voltage suddenly changes.

Also, keeping chargers plugged in can be dangerous, especially in homes with young children or pets. Leaving cords out in the open raises the risk of getting electric shocks, so it's important to make sure sockets are safe when not being used.
