Out of ease or out of habit, we sometimes tend to recharge your smartphone while we are driving. This would obviously be a very bad idea according to the experts.
It’s a practical solution when you don’t have much battery left on your phone: you get in the car to go to work and plug it in to charge during the trip. If it can help in an emergency, it should still not make it a habit.
Why shouldn’t you charge your phone in the car?
The first thing, as Santeplusmag explains, is the fact that the car charger is not powerful enough to properly charge your phone. This uses more energy than the charger supplies. In addition to hardly charging, it can cause damage to your battery.
Experts also recommend not charging the phone via the cigarette lighter which uses 12V while your phone usually needs 5V.
In addition, it is generally highly inadvisable to use a different charger than the original charger. Quite simply because it can, over time, damage the battery of the smartphone. It can even damage the phone’s USB port.
Finally, if you charge your phone in the car, it also takes on the battery of the car.
