They all come with different perks, whether it be wireless charging or faster charging, and each one has a specific selling point as it tries to appeal to all of the various cell phone users. However, not all of these chargers are made equally. In fact, some might be worse for your phone compared to others. There are a few chargers that you should avoid, such as cheap chargers that claim to be incredible \u2014 make sure to read reviews thoroughly before purchasing a third-party charger.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter which type of charger you have, use DFNDR\u2019s Total Charge feature to protect your phone from the damage that comes from overcharging. This feature has a smart trigger that shares information about the charging process and notifies you when it\u2019s time to disconnect the charger from your cell phone. The goal is to prevent your phone from overcharging, protect the battery, and extend the battery\u2019s life. There is also a charger monitor screen that shows you how long it will take to get a full charge.Click here to protect your phone from overcharging:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"psafe:\/\/launch\/total_charge\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3583\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3583\" src=\"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/BOTAO_EN_total_charge_02-2-300x78.png\" alt=\"BOTAO_EN_total_charge_02 (2)\" width=\"300\" height=\"78\" \/><\/a><\/center><b>Avoid chargers that claim to work faster.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While they may get the job done more quickly, there are significant downsides to using a fast charger on a night by night basis. This is because overcharging is an issue that plagues many Android users.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overcharging occurs when you leave your phone charging at 100% for too long. The faster chargers exacerbate this problem. To elucidate, if you charge your phone at midnight and it\u2019s fully charged by 1AM, and you sleep an additional 6 hours and wake up at 7AM, then your phone is subject to 6 hours of slow and incremental damage as it stays plugged in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overcharging results in a slowly depreciated value of your battery. If you overcharge on a nightly basis, then your phone battery will soon have an extremely short life, and you will find yourself charging your phone more often.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Avoid public ports.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not trust any port that allows you to charge your phone in public. This is because you compromise all of your data whenever you plug your phone into a public port. There is a plethora of malware installed on some of these ports across the nation. This results in people sacrificing a lot of their private data whenever they plug their phone into a public charging port.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Smartphone chargers may seem fairly innocent, but there are some that you should certainly stay away from.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":83,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[942,252,306,195,309,576,349,67,2461],"class_list":["post-9258","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-performance","tag-app0","tag-app1","tag-app4","tag-app5","tag-app7","tag-charger","tag-phone","tag-smartphone","tag-total-charge"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
