6. On Soft Surfaces While Charging (Like Beds or Sofas)
Charging your phone on soft surfaces such as beds, sofas, or cushions can trap heat and cause your phone to overheat. Excess heat is bad for the battery and can increase the risk of fire. Charge your device on a hard, flat surface with good airflow.
7. Overnight in Bed
While many people charge overnight, it’s best to avoid leaving your phone plugged in and unattended for hours, especially in bed. Overcharging can degrade battery life over time, and if your phone overheats, it poses a fire risk. Use smart plugs or chargers with auto shut-off features if you must charge overnight.
8. Unsecured or Unknown Power Sources
Charging your phone from unknown or unsecured power sources (like at someone else’s home or office) can expose your device to power surges or electrical instability, damaging your battery or internal circuits. Use surge protectors or avoid these sources if unsure.
Final Thoughts
Your phone is an investment, and charging it safely extends its life and protects your data. Avoid these risky places, invest in quality chargers, and be mindful of where and how you power up. Small habits make a big difference!
