Do you know what happens when you use a generic charger on your phone?

Have you already bought a generic charger because it was cheaper than the original? expensive in the long run.

Non -certified porters can ruin your cell phone's battery, decrease its useful life and even cause accidents.

1. Damage to the cell phone's battery (and has no repair!)

A generic poor quality charger can:

🔋 Overload the battery - Many do not have protection systems against energy peaks.
📉 Reduce battery capacity - In months, your cell phone can last half the time that lasted before.
💥 Swell - Damaged batteries may swell and even leak toxic components.

Why?
Original chargers are calibrated to your specific modelwhile generic often use wrong voltages.

2. Risk of overheating (and even fires!)

Real cases that scare:
🔥 Melting cell phones while they carry.
⚡ Electric shocks When connecting the cable.
📛 Fire -catching chargers during use.

Main cause:
Low quality components + lack of protection against short circuits = dangerous combination.

3. Slower loading (or never ends)

Have you left your phone charging all night and woke up with only 80%?

🐢 Generic porters often do not follow fast load patterns (like Quick Charge or PD).
🔌 Some don't even deliver the promised current - A “2a” charger can only be 1a in practice.

Result: Your cell phone takes longer To load and can never reach 100% right.

4. Loss of mobile assurance

Most manufacturers CANCEL THE WARRANTY If you detect that:

You used a non -original charger.
The damage was caused by a third party accessory.

Ie: If your battery ruins, you may have to pocket the repair.

5. Problems in the internal circuit (permanent damage)

When a generic charger delivers irregular voltage, it can:
💻 Burn the power chip from the cell phone.
📱 Damage the loading door (And even the original charger works more).
🔧 Demine expensive repairs - Sometimes more expensive than buying a new phone.

How to know if a generic charger is safe?

Not every third party charger is bad! Follow these tips:

✅ Look for certification seals (like Anatel, CE or UL).
✅ Buy recognized brands (Anker, Ugreen, Baseus).
✅ Avoid the cheapest - If the price is suspicious, the quality is too.
✅ Check the voltage and amperage - It must be the same as the original charger.

Conclusion: Is it worth risking?

Use a generic charger It can be expensive - Literally.

Safety risks (fires, shocks).
Damage to the cell phone (battery, hardware).
Financial losses (repairs, device exchange).

My recommendation? If you can't buy the original, invest in a Quality third.
