Charging overnight is not ideal, especially if:
- You’re using the wrong charger
- The device is covered (blanket, pillow)
- The socket is not correct
Modern phones have protection, but the combination of poor equipment and poor conditions can be risky.
Sockets and extension cords – an often overlooked risk
Problems don’t just come from the charger.
It is dangerous:
- Overloading one socket
- The use of low-cost power strips
- Old or loose installations.
This can cause:
- Overheating in the wall
- Cable melting
- A fire that starts “from within”
Solution:
- High-quality extension cords with protection
- Do not charge more than one device at one point.
- Check the installations if they are old.
