Disconnect your charger after use.
Use a multi-plug with switch to turn off the power supply of multiple devices into a single action.
Opt for self-stop chargers, which cut off the power supply once the charge is complete.
A risk of overheating and fire
The problem: a potential danger to your home
A permanently connected charger can heat up, especially if it is of poor quality or damage. Over time, the accumulation of heat can damage its internal components and, in some cases, cause a short circuit or even a start of fire. Domestic fires have already been caused by chargers that have been left connected for too long.
The solution: focus on security
Avoid cheap or counterfeit shippers, often poorly insulated and not in line with safety standards.
Check regularly the condition of your chargers (damaged cable, cracked housing, unusual overheating).
Systematically disconnect your charger after use, especially if you leave your home or go to sleep.
