This threatens a fire in the house: how in no case should you charge your phone

These things must be paid attention to before put the phone on charge, especially if the gadget will be charged all night or while no one is at home.

Smartphone users often make mistakes when charging the device, choosing “dangerous” places in the house for this purpose. If you put the phone on the wrong surface, it can lead not only to the rapid failure of its battery, but even to a fire in the house, reports Telegraph.

This is written by Electrical Safety First. According to experts, when charging the phone, it is absolutely impossible to leave it on a soft surface: a pillow, blanket, sofa, etc.

Often people use the phone before going to bed, and then put it on the pillow or, even worse, under the blanket or just on the bed to charge. However, it is worth remembering that this is extremely dangerous.

During charging, the phone heats up, and if it is faulty, it may even overheat. If at this moment, it will be on the bed or sofa, then the surface may ignite, and then a fire will occur.

In addition, a malfunction of the charging cable may cause a fire. If it leaks current or overheats, it must be replaced urgently to prevent disaster.

These things should definitely be paid attention to before charging the phone. Especially if the gadget will be charged all night or while no one is at home.
