If you use the USB port of your vehicle to charge your mobile phone, be aware that it is damaging not only the device but also the vehicle.

 

Are you part of the group of people who take the trips by car to get the cell phone to charge? You probably are not aware of the error you may be making. Admittedly, for long journeys this solution is almost inevitable, but if it is not the case, it is time to stop doing so. This is because if you use the USB port of the car to charge your smartphone, you are damaging not only the device but the vehicle itself. As?

 

Firstly, most likely, the power of the USB output is significantly lower than that that modern mobile phones need to be charged. By connecting you to this low-power source, you are giving your smartphone permission to 'suck' the little power available at a speed far higher than the capabilities of the USB power supply. As a result, the smartphone may even display the signal being charged when in fact it is not (or is doing so at a much slower rate).

 

In addition, notes Reader's Digest magazine, charging the phone in the car may also have impacts on the car battery. Although the size of this damage depends on the power of the USB port and the type of smartphone used, there is always a high probability that the device is also stealing energy from the car battery. Of course, this kind of cause-and-effect does not have a big impact on new cars whose batteries are still 100% healthy, but if you have an older car, the best decision might be to stop this habit and charge the phone before or after the trip.
