With the increasing use of smartphones in our daily lives, many people resort to charging them with laptops. However, recent technical warnings indicate that this method may carry future damage.
Experts point out that the mechanism of laptop batteries differs from those in smartphones, and that charging other devices via “USB” ports may cause an imbalance in power distribution within the computer, which leads to a reduction in battery life in the long run.
Moreover, “USB” ports provide less electrical current than original chargers, which slows down the charging process while consuming computer power, especially when connecting multiple devices at the same time. This may put extra pressure on the power management system and raise the temperature.
Therefore, specialists recommend using external chargers or high-quality “portable batteries” as an alternative to relying on the laptop. They also advise checking the ability of “USB-C” ports to provide power safely. Experts emphasize that using dedicated charging tools for each device remains “the safest option to maintain the safety of devices and prolong the life of their batteries.”
