3 Things to Avoid with Your Cell Phone

Tip: Always use certified chargers and, if possible, those recommended by your phone manufacturer. The price difference justifies the safety.

3. Continue to use your phone while it’s charging and heating up

Talking, gaming, or watching videos while charging can produce extra heat. If your phone is already overheating and you continue to use it, you increase the risk of permanent battery damage or, in the worst case, explosion.

Tip: If your phone gets too hot while charging, let it sit. Avoid using it until it has cooled down.
