Some people are not used to removing chargers from outlets after charging their electronic devices.

Leaving the charger constantly plugged into an outlet causes it to overheat, which can accelerate wear on its internal components, such as capacitors.

If there is a sudden change in voltage, the charger connected to the mains may overheat and begin to smoke, which in some cases leads to a fire.

It’s also important to keep your home safe, especially if you have small children or pets. A charger in an outlet with a cord connected to it may present a risk of electric shock.
