Some people are not in the habit of removing chargers from outlets after charging their electronic devices.
However, not many people are aware of the possible consequences of such a habit.
If you leave the charger constantly plugged into an outlet, this causes it to overheat, which can accelerate the wear of its internal components, such as capacitors.
In the event of a sudden change in voltage, the charger connected to the mains may overheat and start smoking, which in some cases can cause a fire.
It’s also important to keep your home safe, especially if you have young children or pets. A charger plugged into an outlet with a cord connected may present a risk of electric shock.
