Female Influencer Warns Public vs Charging Phones While Sleeping
A female influencer warned the public against charging mobile phones while sleeping after her traumatic experience.
Charging your phone while sleeping might seem convenient, but it can lead to serious consequences. Continuously charging your phone overnight can degrade the battery over time, reducing its lifespan and efficiency.
When a phone is left charging for an extended period, especially under a pillow or blanket, it can overheat. It can cause damage to the phone’s battery and internal components.
An overheated phone can become a fire hazard. If the phone or charger malfunctions, it can cause a fire, especially if placed on flammable materials like bedding.
Recently, Marries Cabral, a social media influencer, shared a traumatic experience involving her expensive phone, which exploded while charging as she slept. Her post garnered various reactions from the online community.
The incident may serve as a warning to those who habitually charge their phones overnight.
Marries showed the aftermath of the explosion, displaying her severely burned phone, the charger she used, and the scorched pillowcase where the phone was left charging on her bed. Thankfully, she was not injured, avoiding what could have been a much worse outcome.
She urged her followers not to follow her example, emphasizing the risks of charging phones while asleep. Marries suggested that it’s better to charge devices while awake and alert. This way, if something goes wrong, the charger can be quickly unplugged, potentially preventing more serious accidents like fires.
The content creator wants the netizens to be cautious and avoid charging phones unsupervised to ensure safety and prevent similar incidents.
