When you are out and about, your phone runs out of battery, but you forget to bring a charger. You can only borrow a charger from a friend. I believe many people may have doubts in their minds: Is it safe to use a non-original charger to charge two phones of different models? Will it affect the performance of the phone?

If you forget to bring your charger, can you use a non-original charger to charge? The answer is: as long as the selected charger meets the national safety certification, and its input voltage and output gear meet the requirements of your mobile phone, then it is OK to use a non-original charger to charge. In fact, today's chargers are as intelligent as mobile phones, and standard chargers basically use modern charging management technology, that is, they can output the corresponding current according to the information provided by the mobile phone, and generally will not cause harm. However, if the non-original charger you choose does not match the fast charging protocol supported by the mobile phone, then you cannot enter the fast charging mode, which will cause low-power charging and take more time to fully charge. At the same time, the different currents will also greatly reduce the charging effect.

The main factors that affect battery life are overcharging, over-discharging and high temperature. Mobile phones on the market will automatically slow down when they are charged to 90% to prevent overcharging, which is controlled by the mobile phone circuit; over-discharging generally means that the battery is completely used to 0%, which is a bit of a loss. Some electronic devices will "die" after being unused for a long time, which is caused by over-discharging; high temperature will cause irreversible huge loss of lithium batteries (compared to charging and discharging), and too high a temperature can easily cause the phone to burn, catch fire or even explode. Therefore, it is not recommended to play with the phone while charging.

3 tips for charging your phone

1. Should you wait until your mobile phone is almost out of power before charging it?

This statement is not accurate. You can use it anytime you want. Nowadays, mobile phone batteries are all lithium-ion batteries, which have no memory effect. If you discharge the phone and then charge it, it will damage the chemical activity inside the lithium-ion battery. When the power of the phone drops below 20% or even shuts down automatically, it actually causes great damage to the battery, causing problems such as slow charging and reduced battery life. So don't wait until the phone is out of power before charging it.

2. If the phone becomes hot while charging, can I continue charging?

If the temperature continues to rise abnormally, it is recommended to stop charging. Although the mobile phone has a protection mechanism, if the temperature is too high for a long time, it will affect the life of the mobile phone battery, shorten the battery life of the mobile phone, and even cause safety accidents.

3. Can I charge my phone without unplugging the charger?

A charger is a device that converts high voltage electricity into low voltage direct current electricity. If it is left on the power strip for a long time, it will continue to heat up and accelerate the aging of the charger, which can easily lead to a short circuit or high voltage breakdown, causing a fire hazard.

In fact, when the charger is connected to the socket, even if the phone is not charged, it is still in working state, which not only wastes power but also poses many safety hazards. Therefore, it is recommended to unplug the charger or turn off the socket power as soon as possible after the phone is charged.
