The batteries of current smartphones are lithium ion, which have a charging capacity of up to five thousand milliamps (mAh) or higher values, however, like any device, they also have a life cycle that you should extend avoiding certain negative and very common practices that most users do without realizing it. This time, from Mag we will explain what are the consequences of charging your phone Android with a broken or frayed cable. Take note.
Most likely keep the same charger that came in the box with your telephoneif it is the case suddenly the cable is worn, old and even broken or peeled, even so you continue connecting it to your mobile device to charge it, stop doing it, since you would be deteriorating the battery of your equipment and even exposing yourself to a discharge electricity, reported the technology portal the BBC in London.
- According to the aforementioned medium, each cell phone receives a certain voltage, if the charger does not meet these standards, it would directly affect the battery. In simple words, it means that if the broken or frayed cable does not provide the same electrical measurements, it could significantly reduce the life of the battery.
- The broken wire could also overheat the device’s battery, causing explosions and short circuits. As you remember, when a cell phone battery explodes, a chemical reaction is generated and the component starts to catch fire.
- It is common to use the cell phone while charging it, if the cable is bare you run the risk of suffering an electric shock when you touch it.
a phone battery Android medium or high range can withstand approximately 500 charge cycles or maybe a little more, it all depends on the care you give it, the brand of equipment and its range. If you notice that your cell phone discharges quickly, it is likely that the milliamps (mAh) of the battery are decreasing, for example, if your new phone came with 5,000 mAh, now it may be between 3,000 or 4,000 and it will decrease with the use. To know this information we recommend you install the application AccuBatteryyou find it in the Google Play Store or you can get it quickly by clicking here.
- Typically, cell phones Android that has a 5,000 mAh battery, require a charger of at least 30W or higher.
- After having installed the application, open it and press the “Loading” tab, which is located in the lower left.
- Remember that AccuBattery is safe and does not ask you for any kind of permissions.
- Now, connect the charger you want to buy to your cell phone and then to the socket.
- The 30W chargers charge up to 100 mAh per minute, which means that if you leave it connected for 5 minutes, you will have charged approximately 500 mAh (equivalent to 5%).
- These values are an estimate, since with the fast charging function the numbers change.
- Where can you see such information? in the tab “Charging” > “Charging Completely” > “Total”.
Done, that would be it. If you try the charger and in five minutes it has only reached 1% or 2%, it means that this device is not original or is not compatible with your cell phone. Another important detail is that you always buy a charger of the same brand as your cell phone.
