When would you replace your old phone charger from your mobile accessories? Here goes a listing for you. If your phone charger is not original phone charger when you buy the phone, try to check. Replace your phone charger as soon as possible once your phone charger is like below.
Phone Charger with Loose Connector
It is very dangerous to have a phone charger with loose connector. it is easy to get broken and make the connector metal part contact the user and get electrical shock.
If above did not happen, there would be a risk of fire because of the high resistance between the power socket and the phone charger. As the time goes on, the phone charger pin plugs will get hotter and hotter and finally result to fire.
Ampere Doesn't Match with your Phone
Some old phone chargers are with 5V 1A output. But latest phones are with smart quick chargers. The mobile phone still get charging but very slow.
But this will make the charger in full output anyway. The old phone chargers are designed to work with old phones with 1500-2500mah batteries while the new smart phones reach 5000mah or more batteries. This will make the phone charger work twice, tripple or more time without a stop. It will damage the phone charger very fast.
And the phone will remind the battery ICs that it is still in charge. Things like, a man who is very hungry want to eat to full very quickly. But the food comes very slow and tiny to him. He has to take the tiny food while hungry.
It is very important the Ampere (output currency) matches with the min requirement of the mobile phone to keep the phone in a good charge condition.
Phone Charger Rusty
Some phone chargers are rusty. The pin plugs are rusty because of wet. And some even worse, the inside components are wet too. And some USB charger Port may get rusty.
It is dangerous to have that charger. This will lead to electrical shock to the user or explosion for the charger.
Phone Charger with Physical Distortion
We can see this problem from the phone charger lookings. If it is a light hurt only to the phone charger housing, we can use that charger as usual.
But, if the mobile phone charger is damaged for some reason that you do not know, or housing broke, or drop with a heavy hit to the gound … we suggest you to get another one instead. If the components inside gets off, the phone charger will not work any more. The serious problem is, this may lead to a electrical shock to the user or smart phone damage.
Poor workmanship or defective materials
We see some smart phone chargers are with very good lookings. But it will give you some strange feelings when you know some information – the prices is very low, it is very light or other.
We opened the chargers and found poor workmanship of the PCB and defective materials used. It is very easy to make the phone battery dead after several charges to the phone.
No protection ICs inside the PCB – this is the main reason for the bad phone chargers. To save the costs, the travel charger manufacturer use as less components as he can to reduce the costs.
Frankly speaking, these travel chargers are looking good and will not cause problems at beginning. They will damage the batteries little by little till you replace the phone charger or your smart phone batteries.
