Overcharging Gadgets
Research from Uswitch has revealed that we waste £1.9 Billion each year on overcharging gadgets! We dont read instruction manuals and leave MP3 players, phones and games consoles charging overnight and this adds to the energy shortage we are experiencing.
Overcharging gadgets also ruins batteries, shortening the lifetime of re-chargeable batteries and occasionally being a fire hazard…
Many gadget users also admit to ‘comfort charging’ which is when we knowingly overcharge an item just so it is fully charged when we need it.
So to prevent you overcharging gadgets and electrical items we recommend you check the instruction manual, keep an eye on the item and dont leave it charging overnight unless you are sure that the item requires that long.
If you have had to pay for a replacement charger you will realise the cost of overcharging gadgets!!
