Why it is not recommended to leave the charger plugged in without charging any device

It is generally not recommended  to leave the charger plugged in,  as phantom consumption occurs. This means that by leaving it unused connected to the power, it generates unnecessary expenses that will later be applied to the monthly electricity bill.

With all the energy that is wasted due to human recklessness, we could meet the needs of some countries that do not have the possibility of accessing this great resource. The energy consumed by chargers plugged in without use is more than enough to supply 33 countries with lower or no energy consumption in the world.

Chargers are essential elements for the maintenance of computers, cell phones, among other technological objects. Leaving the charger connected to the power may damage this accessory since we would not be using it properly.

If we leave it plugged in and do not use it, it can accumulate energy and overheat in moments.

Leaving the charger plugged in: Imminent danger

We must also keep in mind that misuse can cause accidents. A very common circumstance is fires, since there have been cases of this style due to leaving the charger plugged in without being used.
