Why it is not recommended to leave the charger plugged in without charging any device
Generally, it is not recommended to leave the charger plugged in, since it produces phantom consumption. This means that leaving it unused connected to the power supply generates unnecessary expenses that will later be applied to the monthly electricity bill.
With all the energy that is wasted due to human imprudence, we could meet the needs of some countries that do not have the possibility of accessing this great resource. The energy consumed by unused plugged in chargers is more than enough to supply 33 countries with less or no energy consumption in the world.
Chargers are essential elements for the maintenance of computers, cell phones, among other technological objects. Leaving the charger connected to the power supply can damage this accessory since we would not be giving it the proper use.
If we leave it plugged in and do not use it at all, it can accumulate energy and can overheat in an instant.
Leaving the charger plugged in: Imminent danger
We must also keep in mind that misuse can lead to accidents. A very common circumstance is fires, as there have been cases of this type caused by leaving the charger plugged in without being used.
This also happens because most of the plugs we use are close to flammable objects. For this reason, having the charger connected to the current increases the chances of causing a short circuit or a build-up of heat that can cause a disaster of this nature.
We recommend that when you finish using the charger you unplug it and in this way we will guarantee safety for ourselves and our family. In addition, we will not have to pay high rates due to carelessness or imprudence.
For the reasons stated above, we recommend that you be cautious when using chargers; when you are not going to use it, unplug it!
