Many people use their mobile phones incorrectly in winter.

They do not take into account the following fact: not only frost, but also temperature changes can have an extremely negative impact on the gadget.

In other words, you cannot allow a smartphone that has experienced strong cooling to start heating up quickly.

And this happens quite often. Due to the fault of the device owners.

Let's imagine a situation: you returned home after a winter walk. You feel that the mobile phone that was in your jacket pocket is "frozen". At the same time, you understand that the battery is almost discharged.

What will you do in this case? Immediately put your smartphone on charge? This is the very same gross mistake made by 90% of users!

Why you shouldn't charge a frozen phone

If you connect a charger to a smartphone that has recently been in the cold, the gadget will experience a sharp temperature change.

This situation can have an extremely negative impact on the battery.

At best, the battery capacity will decrease. The phone will discharge very quickly.

In the worst case, the battery will swell or even explode.

How to properly charge your smartphone in winter

Don't rush to charge your frozen mobile phone!

Returning home on a frosty day? First, wait until the phone "warms up" itself. This usually takes about 30 minutes.

Has the gadget reached room temperature? Only then can you connect the charger to it!
