In today’s time, smartphone has become that part of our life, without which even a moment seems difficult. But have you ever thought that your smartphone and your safety also depend on that small charger? Yes, a wrong charger can not only damage your phone but can also put your life in danger. Government of India’s consumer affairs agency ‘Jaago Grahak Jaago’ has shared a special post on its X (Twitter) account, in which people have been advised to avoid cheap and fake chargers.
In the post of ‘Jaago Grahak Jaago’, a clear warning has been given that many people buy cheap and poor quality chargers to save money. These chargers neither meet any safety standards nor do they have any certification mark. Such chargers can damage your phone’s battery and motherboard. Not only this, they can also become a threat to your life.
The government agency has clearly said that always buy only that charger which has CRS (Compulsory Registration Scheme) mark. This mark guarantees that the charger meets all safety standards. If there is no CRS mark on the charger, it may damage your phone or cause dangerous incidents like electric shock and short circuit.
How to know if your charger is safe or not? Keep a few things in mind:
Cheap and counterfeit chargers can pose a number of dangers: battery damage: Such chargers can do fast charging, but this reduces the life of the battery. Sometimes the phone gets completely damaged. motherboard failure: Wrong charger can burn the internal circuit of the phone, the repair of which can cost thousands of rupees. danger of electric shock: There is a fear of short circuit or shock due to poor quality charger. danger of fire: In many cases, phones have even caught fire due to cheap chargers.
So next time you go to buy a charger, pay a little attention. Neither harm your pocket nor put your life in danger in the pursuit of cheapness.
