Recently, a girl in Zhejiang was playing with her mobile phone while charging in the living room when she was suddenly electrocuted. She collapsed on the couch and cried out in pain. Fortunately, the child's grandfather was next to him and ripped off the power cord of the mobile phone as soon as possible. Afterwards, the child's parents said that the girl's hands and feet were electromated. Why can't you play with your phone while charging? What charging methods are wrong? Let's take a look↓↓↓

Charging and playing with mobile phones is not an isolated case
The girl was charged and playing with her mobile phone and was electrocuted and faced amputation
In June 2023, a girl in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, was accidentally shocked while playing with her mobile phone while charging, and her internal organs were damaged and she faced amputation. According to the girl's recollection, she was playing with her mobile phone with one foot on the radiator, and suddenly felt like her whole body was cramping, and her whole body couldn't move. At that time, her eyes were still rolling, and then she lost consciousness. After being taken to the hospital, the attending doctor said that the girl's ten toes on both feet were in a state of dry necrosis, and her various organs were damaged by the electric shock.
The man was playing with his mobile phone while charging and was suddenly electrocuted
In February 2021, Xiao Wang, a man from Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province, was playing with his mobile phone while charging, and due to the aging of the charger line and other reasons, he was suddenly electrocuted, and at the same time as the mobile phone was thrown out, he heard a "click" sound in his arm. Afterwards, Xiao Wang kept feeling pain in his right arm and couldn't lift his arm. In the end, the doctor diagnosed that Xiao Wang's joint had been dislocated and fractured because of the strong muscle spasm after the electric shock.
A 13-year-old boy was electrocuted to death while charging and playing with his mobile phone
In August 2019, a 13-year-old boy in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, was playing with his mobile phone while charging at a fast food restaurant, and was suddenly electrocuted to the ground, and died after rescue efforts failed.

Why can't I play with my phone while charging?
It is understood that when playing with the mobile phone while charging, part of the current from the charger charges the mobile phone, and part of it meets the normal use of the mobile phone. If an inferior charger is used or if the mobile phone device is aged, it may lead to leakage of electricity, which increases the risk of electric shock to the user. In addition, using the phone while charging can also cause the temperature of the phone to rise rapidly, so it is recommended to avoid playing with the phone or making calls while charging.

What charging methods are wrong?
If you don't pull out the charger ❌ for a long time, when the charger is connected to the socket, even if you don't charge the phone, it is still in working condition. If the charger is not pulled out on the plug-in board for a long time, it will not only consume power and cause waste, but also continue to heat up, which will accelerate the aging of equipment and materials, and is prone to short circuit or high-voltage breakdown, causing fire hazards.
Charging ❌ the mobile phone overnightNormally, qualified chargers have safety protection circuits to prevent overcharging, and once the battery is fully charged, the protection function will be activated, and the charging current will be automatically stopped, or the charging current will be reduced to a small range. However, once the charger's protective device fails, or the battery itself has a quality defect and is not detected in time, it may cause a fire or even an explosion. Charging your phone to 100% ❌ and staying in a full or high state for a long time will reduce the battery capacity and shorten the battery life. It is recommended to keep the battery level of your mobile phone at 65% to 75%.

Pay attention to these situations when charging!
Mobile phones become "warm babies"
Sudden hotness: If the mobile phone suddenly gets hot during use, you should stop the operation immediately, most mobile phones will suddenly get hot before spontaneous combustion.
Calls get hot: If your phone starts to get hot soon after you make a call, you must be cautious, most likely because there is a problem with the battery.
Frequent automatic restarts and frequent restarts will keep the phone in a fast state for a long time, which can easily cause the phone to overheat and cause an explosion.
The battery bulge leaks from the surface of the mobile phone battery, and even liquid flows out, which is a manifestation of the aging and damage of the mobile phone battery. If this happens, the following behaviors should be avoided:
Charge your phone;
puncture the mobile phone battery to "deflate";
Non-professionals replace the bulging battery on their own;
Throw your phone directly in the trash.
Also, don't use broken cables. Due to long-term use, some old and inferior charging data cables will have skin damage and aging of internal insulation materials. Charging with a broken data cable is not only prone to short circuits and fires; When the metal wires inside the data cable are exposed, there is also the possibility of power leakage, which can be dangerous.
Reminder: Playing with mobile phones while charging may cause safety accidents, do not have a fluke mentality, and be sure to maintain good mobile phone usage habits in daily life
In order to prevent such accidents from happening again
