Because our smartphones are practically an extension of our bodies today, and considering that without charge they are useless devices, the battery has become an essential element that users must worry about and keep an eye on at all times before it runs out.
That is why we have seen how it is more common for people to always carry their charger with them, and even carry portable chargers to make sure that their battery never runs out when they are out and about.
And when we have little battery left, we don’t care about where or how, the important thing is to charge the phone, but as with everything, there are right ways to do it and other ways that can even be harmful to our device.
Using unofficial chargers, plugs with very high voltages, or connecting to an electrical network that experiences a voltage surge can be aspects that damage the battery of our smartphone, making the act of charging the phone counterproductive, but is it harmful to charge the phone in the car?
Is charging the phone in the car bad?
For many years now, and in response to the users’ need, the car lighter socket has been used as an electrical supplier to charge our phones. However, there are many doubts surrounding this practice because many say that being an unstable electrical current that generates fluctuations can negatively affect the phone battery.
The truth is that this claim lacks any foundation, since cars are equipped and designed to regulate the electrical current and protect the devices connected. Therefore, charging the phone in the car is as safe as doing it at home, as long as we use a quality charger.
However, charging the smartphone in the car has the disadvantage that it is not very efficient because these ports usually have limited power and are not designed to transmit energy in the same way that a conventional power outlet does.
