The mistake many people make when charging their smartphones
Changing our charging habits can easily extend the life of our smartphones.
The order of the factors usually changes the result, and this is the case when we put our mobile phone to charge, and a small change in the habit of charging the terminal can increase its useful life. This is for those who do it the wrong way, which is certainly not a few users, and should start changing the habit right now.
The trick to increase the life of our mobile phone
Most users think that this detail is trivial, but not at all, and the fact is that the order in which we connect the mobile phone to the electric current can, in the long run, be decisive for it to last much longer. The mistake is to connect the phone first to the charger cable and then to the power plug, which can cause a momentary overvoltage that crosses the cable and can damage the internal components of the terminal.
Experts claim that this is an error that can be corrected in a way that is so simple as to be ridiculous, simply by changing the order of plugging in the charger first, and then plugging the charger into the phone. This sequence ensures that the plug will absorb any overvoltage and keep it from reaching the device.
Not only that, but the order also affects when the phone is fully charged and we disconnect it from the charger. In this case, the procedure would be the opposite, i.e. unplug the charger from the phone first and then unplug it from the wall outlet, thus avoiding stress on the battery and electronic components of the phone.
“A small habit change like this can significantly extend the life of your phone and save you from unnecessary repairs or early upgrade needs,” said one expert. By making these small adjustments to our charging routines, we can ensure that all the components of our phone stay in good shape and working for much longer.
