Many people use low-quality or counterfeit chargers to save money. These can deliver inconsistent power, causing your phone’s battery to overheat and become unstable.
2. Charging Your Phone Overnight Without Monitoring
Leaving your phone plugged in for hours, especially overnight, can overcharge the battery and generate excessive heat. While many phones have protections, older models or faulty batteries can still pose risks.
3. Using Your Phone While Charging
Playing games, streaming videos, or using heavy apps while charging forces the phone to work hard and charge simultaneously, generating extra heat that can damage the battery.
Why Does This Cause Explosions?
Lithium-ion batteries power most smartphones. These batteries can become volatile if damaged, overheated, or overcharged, potentially causing swelling, leakage, or in extreme cases, combustion.
How to Keep Your Phone Safe:
Always use the charger that came with your phone or a certified replacement.
Avoid charging overnight; unplug once fully charged.
Don’t use your phone heavily while charging.
Keep your phone out of hot places, like direct sunlight or inside a hot car.
Replace old or swollen batteries immediately.
By avoiding these habits, you protect your phone—and yourself—from serious accidents. Treat your device with care, and it will keep you connected safely for years.
