Following their electronic gadget charging, some people forget to take their chargers out of the outlets. Few people are conscious of the possible repercussions of such action, though.
What occurs if the charger is left in the outlet? Some parts of the charger draw power even while they are in standby mode. It persists even with its modest power usage.
Repetitively plugging the charger into an outlet will cause it to overheat and accelerate the wear and tear of its internal parts, including the capacitors. The charger that is connected to the mains can overheat and start to smoke in the event of a sudden voltage change, which could start a fire.
Making your house secure is also essential, especially if you have young children or pets. A corded charger that is hooked into an outlet could potentially shock you.
