Citing Hongyi Tech Group, the piece notes voltage surges can cause sparks and battery degradation, and recommends the reverse sequence, unplugging the charger when the battery is full, and avoiding heavy phone use while charging to prevent overheating.",
        "content": "<p>One risky yet often overlooked habit when charging a mobile phone is\nplugging the charging cable into the device before connecting the\ncharger head or adaptor to the wall socket. Some users may believe that\nplugging the cable into the phone or connecting the charger to the wall\nfirst are the same and have no significant impact.<\/p>\n<p>You may have encountered sparks at the wall socket when connecting a\ncharger to charge the phone. The sparks occur due to a brief voltage\nsurge.<\/p>\n<p>According to the official site of power connector manufacturer Hongyi\nTech Group, such voltage surges can continue to reduce the battery\nhealth of the phone.<\/p>\n<p>To avoid voltage surges, users are advised to charge by first\nconnecting the charger to the wall socket. In this sequence, the high\nvoltage can be damped by the charger before it reaches the phone.<\/p>\n<p>Even if it\u2019s said to be safer, this does not mean the charger should\nbe left plugged in continually. A charger left to stay in the wall\nsocket can pose a risk of short-circuit, particularly with low-quality\nor counterfeit chargers.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, once the phone\u2019s battery is fully charged, the charger\nshould also be unplugged from the wall. Maintaining battery health\nstarts with understanding the proper way to charge a phone.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to plugging the charger into the wall first, proper\ncharging can also be achieved by avoiding using the phone at high\nintensity while charging. That habit can cause the device to heat up.\nWhen a device is frequently exposed to high temperatures, its battery\nhealth may deteriorate significantly.<\/p>",
