In this blog, I will share with you the most helpful tips for properly charging your smartphone in order for the unit to recharge more efficiently and safely to avoid any accidents that could lead to the device's potential damage or explosions that you might have heard in the news. So without any further delays, let's get right into today's discussion…
Use Certified Chargers Only
First and foremost, you have to opt for certified chargers only whenever you need a replacement for the old charger you have. You have to bear in mind that even though chargers from an obscure brand are way cheaper than the original ones, they are substandard, low-quality, and very easy to break down which will necessitate you to buy a new one in just a few short runs. In addition, cheap chargers are likely to damage your phone's internal components and prone to short-circuiting that causes fire due to the lack of quality control in manufacturing them. Now, although certified chargers are much more expensive, you are assured of their quality and you can have the peace of mind that it won't damage your phone or cause short-circuit while you are recharging your device.
Do Not Recharge to Full 100% Battery Capacity if it has Fully Drained Previously
If your smartphone unit has fully drained prior, it is important that you refrain from the urge to fully recharge the smartphone batteries back to 100%. It is recommended by experts that you charge it to 80% at this time especially if your smart device is embedded with a Lithium-ion battery. Similar to the batteries draining to 0%, charging it back to full 100% could also mess up its chemistry and strain the battery's integrity resulting in a shortened useful life.
Do Not Charge Android 11 or Lower Smart Devices Overnight
One of the popular practices by many smartphone owners is charging them overnight so they will have a fully charged phone the next morning, and you might have seen many videos or articles online telling you not to do so. Although there is truth about the matter in Android 11 and lower units of the operating system, it isn't exactly the case with the updated versions of Android where the system automatically disconnects from a power source once it has fully charged. In older versions of Android, charging the smartphone overnight could also damage the batteries and make charging less efficient. For this matter and if you indeed have you may need to charge the smartphone near you in order for you to disconnect the unit once you are ready to sleep.
Final Thoughts
I hope the article I prepared has provided you with the insights you need in properly charging your smartphone and somehow you have separated the myths from facts. But the most important tip in this blog is to buy certified chargers only because you can be assured of their quality. A quality charging brick and type c charger cable are essential in order for your smartphone to charge efficiently and keep them from being damaged. In addition, you are assured that they won't cause any explosion that you might have heard in the news. You have to take note that a cheap set of chargers are not always cost-efficient because they can get broken quite easily and you may have to buy a new one every so often when they become unusable and hazardous.
