Some people make mistakes when charging their smartphones without knowing the implications it may have on their health, and the fact that it can reduce life span of their phone's battery. To avoid damaging one's phone, it is best to stop doing those things that can affect its performance. In this article, I want ti discuss the seven mistakes you should avoid when charging your phones.
1. Stop playing games on your phone while charging it. Some young people and adults fall into this category because charging and playing games is now very common among them. However, such a habit is bad for your phone because it generates a lot of heat, which can hinder it from functioning as it should.
2. Stop charging your phone overnight. Charging phone overnight is not a good thing because there are some phones that don't have the ability to stop charging was they become fully charged. Prolonged charging of phones throughout the night can also cause overheating which may shorten the battery life of the phone.
3. Stop using a charger with a low voltage capacity or a low power supply to charge your smartphone. Low currents when used to charge phones, laptops, or power banks can affect their batteries and prevent them from lasting long. Except for emergency use, such a current should not be used to charge your phone continuously. It is preferable to use a high voltage light supply so that your phone can charge faster and have a longer battery life.
4. Stop charging your phone continuously. Some people have the habit of charging their phones at every opportunity until there is a power outage. They don't care how long the light stays on but keeps charging till goes out. Such acts of charging for an extended period of time will only harm their phone's battery.
5. Stop charging your phone with its cover case on it. It is important to always remove your phone's case before charging it. This is because failure to do so will raise your phone's temperature, and it will get warm which can cause damage to it. It is good to allow enough space for air to enter the phone while it is charging.
6. Stop listening to music with earphones while charging your phone. What some people don't know is that it is dangerous to charge your smartphone while at the same time listen to music through an earphone. High level of radiation produced from such a device can cause brain damage.
