To prevent such terrible accidents, it is always recommended to use chargers of a particular brand of mobile phone. It is also necessary to pay attention to whether the Anatel seal of approval is on the accessory – Photo: ReadyElements Pixabay

It is always a good idea to also check if the mobile phone charger is overheating. Also, suspect that the price of the charger is well below market value. Also check if the charging time matches the original and if the device recognizes the USB cable – Photo: Flickr

It is not recommended to charge a mobile phone in the bathroom due to humidity. Water is an excellent conductor of electricity and increases the risk of short circuits, consuming more energy and more heat – Photo: Pixabay

Another recommendation is to always keep your mobile phone in battery saver mode when you are not using it so that it stays in a less active mode, cooling it down. — Photo: StockSnap/Pixabay

If your charger is of good quality, there is no problem to leave the cell phone in the socket even if it is 100% charged, or move it while charging, because the cell phone will work on the energy coming from the cable, leaving the battery at rest – Photo : pixels
