Technology experts constantly warn against using non-original mobile phone chargers, due to the technical risks they entail that may affect the device and its user.
In fact, these chargers often lack circuits responsible for regulating voltage, which results in fluctuations in electrical current that harm the phone’s battery and internal circuits.
Among the most prominent potential risks, we mention the high temperature of the battery as a result of unregulated charging or overloading, which accelerates its deterioration and may, in rare cases, lead to its swelling or even ignition.
In addition, poor electrical insulation in some low-quality chargers increases the possibility of a short circuit or current leakage, especially when using the phone while charging.
Technically, the incompatibility of non-original chargers with “fast charging” technologies may lead to intermittent and unstable charging, which places an additional burden on the battery and reduces its lifespan.
Experts confirm that the resulting damage is often cumulative and not immediate, which makes original chargers or “certified” ones a safer option in the medium and long term.
