4. Danger of electric shock
If an electric shock or lightning strike occurs while the charger is plugged in, there is a high chance that it will burn out. This can lead not only to damage to the charger itself, but also to damage to the contacts and electrical installation.
5. Potential threat to children and pets
Small children often touch cables and sockets, and a charger left plugged in can be an easy “toy” for them. The same goes for pets, who can chew on the cable and injure themselves.
6. Financial damages
It may seem like a small thing, but any damage to an outlet, charger, or even a phone can be costly. Preventatively unplugging your charger from the outlet is a simple way to save yourself unnecessary expenses.
