Not only because of the damage to the battery: why you can't charge your phone at night

Emergency experts warn against charging mobile phones under sleep time Such a common practice for many can lead to serious consequences due to the features of lithium-ion batteries that are equipped with modern smartphones.

A recent incident in Montreal clearly demonstrated the dangers of lithium-ion batteries. There, a container with 15 tons of such batteries caught fire, which led to a large-scale fire and the evacuation of hundreds of people. Thick toxic smoke hung over the city for several hours.

If caught on fire, the phone's lithium-ion battery burns with the intensity of a blowtorch. Such fires are difficult to extinguish, they require a significant amount of water and time to eliminate. Especially dangerous is the situation when ignition occurs at night, when a person is sleeping.

For safe charging of a smartphone, experts advise:

  • use only original chargers;
  • replace old batteries in a timely manner;
  • charge the device on a hard surface;
  • do not leave the phone on the charger unattended;
  • equip the premises with working smoke detectors.

Statistics show an increase in the number of fires related to lithium-ion batteries. This is explained by the increase in the number of devices with such batteries in everyday use. Instead of charging at night, experts recommend charging the phone during the day, when the user can monitor the process and react to possible problems in time.
