5 Quick Tips to Make Your Charger Last Longer
Chargers might seem like small, replaceable accessories, but if you’ve ever had to constantly buy new ones, you know how frustrating (and expensive) it can get. The good news? A little care goes a long way.
Here are 5 simple yet effective tips to help your charger last much longer and save you money:
1. Avoid Sharp Bends
One of the biggest reasons chargers wear out is due to frequent bending—especially at the ends. Repeated stress on the cable can weaken the internal wires, causing fraying or breakage. Instead, wrap your charger loosely when storing or packing it, and avoid twisting or bending it sharply during use.
2. Let It Cool
Chargers can get warm during heavy use, especially if you’re powering a high-capacity device. Give it time to cool down in between charges and don’t leave it under pillows, bedsheets, or in hot cars. Heat can degrade both the cable and the adapter over time.
3. Unplug When Full
Leaving your device plugged in long after it’s fully charged isn’t great for the charger—or the battery. Over time, this can stress both components. Make it a habit to unplug once you’re at 100% to extend the life of your tech.
4. Carry It With Care
If you’re always on the move, make sure you’re storing your charger properly. Tossing it into your bag uncovered or wrapping it too tightly around the adapter can damage the cable. Consider getting a small pouch or cable organizer to carry it safely.
5. Use a Surge Protector
Power surges—especially during thunderstorms or unstable electricity—can fry your charger or even your device. Always plug into a surge protector to shield your electronics from unexpected voltage spikes.
Protect Your Tech, Save Your Money
These small habits can make a big difference over time. Treat your charger with care, and it’ll serve you well for much longer!
