My charger accidentally fell to the ground, will it have any influence?
1. Potential damage caused by a decline
When a charger falls, it can cause a different degree of damage to the internal charger elements, especially in the case of a GAN charger or fast PD chargers that use complex circuits and sensitive components. Somedatory common damage includes:
Damage to the printed plate: if the charger falls on the hard surface, it can affect the internal circuit plate, causing a short or disconnected circuit. Such damage can affect the output performance of the charger, and even cause a complete failure.
Cracked or broken shell: if the charger coating is cracked, the electrical components can be exposed, increasing the risk of electrical short circuit or electrical paralysis.
Damage to the connection port: interfaces such as USB ports or type-C ports may become loose or have poor contact because of the impact, affecting the stability of charging the device.
2. Will this affect the performance and safety of the charger?
Not all falls will have a serious impact on the charger, but it can affect her long -term life and safety. The particular impact depends on the following factors:
Height and strength of falling: if the charger falls from a lower place, it can only be a damaged external shell, and the printed plate may not affect. But if it falls from a high place, internal electrical elements and circuits may bear more influence, affecting the charging effect anddevice protection function.
Quality of the charger: high -quality fast chargers, such as Gan Chargers, are usually designed to be more durable and can withstand some effects. But low quality chargers can be more susceptible to falls, which causes heating, slow charging or lack of charging during use.
Status of use: if the charger can still work normally after falling, and there is no obvious overheating, flashing of lights or charging breaks, it can still be used. But if there are any incorrect reactions, it's best to stop using it.
3. How to check if the charger is damaged?
It often happens that the charger still works normally after falling. However, to ensure safety, it is recommended to perform the following checks before use:
Look control: Carefully check the charger housing to make sure that there are no cracks, damage or detached parts. If there is obvious physical damage, it is best to replace the charger.
Charging test: Connect the charger to the power source and connect it to the phone or laptop to charge. If the charging process is not heated incorrectly, charging too slowly or the device cannot recognize the charger, it means that the charger works normally.
Temperature control: During use, if the charger surface heats up incorrectly (especially if it becomes very hot in a short time), this may be a sign of a problem with the internal circuit.
4. How to avoid breaking the charger?
Although in some cases the charger may be able to withstand the impact of the inheritance to extend the life of the charger and ensure safety, here are some suggestions regarding the reduction of the risk of breaking the charger:
Use the charger housing: some high -class chargers (such as fast Apple chargers or 65W PD chargers) are equipped with a protective housing or are designed with a durable shell to help reduce damage in the event of a fall.
Avoid exposing the charger to a high temperature or humidity: the charger can be more fragile in extreme environments. Moving it in a dry and friendly temperature place will help extend the life of the charger.
Use solid cables: Avoid pulling the charger cable when moving the device to avoid the additional load of the charger port.
5. What to do if the charger is dropped
In general, dropping the charger can cause functional injuries and safety hazards, especially in the case of high-power devices, such as GAN chargers and quick USB-C chargers. Make an accurate control after a decline to make sure that the charger will not be damaged and notIt affects charging efficiency and device protection functions. If you notice any incorrect behavior of the charger, especially overheating, slow charging speed or unusual sounds, stop using it and consider replacing it.
To ensure long -term safe use of the charger, it is very important to choose a high quality charger, avoid dropping and regularly checking the status of the charger.
