Electrician Warns: Stop Leaving Your Charger Plugged In

The best way to protect your charger and your phone is to make sure it is never left plugged in when it is not in use.

5. Get in the Habit Today

You might want to dismiss this and say that the problems are never going to happen to you but they will happen to someone. Do a little additional research and find the true examples of those who lost everything as a result of a cheap charger.

Begin building the habit of unplugging your charger on a regular basis. You can still leave the charger near the outlet, but unplug it from the wall when it is not in use.

You may also want to designate an area in the home that is specific to charging. Only plug the charger in when it is used and it will make it easier to remember to unplug it when you are not using it.
