Nowadays, mobile and laptop chargers have undergone a notable evolution. The large and bulky chargers that took up almost the entire power strip are a thing of the past. Now, they are more compact and with a more efficient design.
Some brands even offer different stylessome built in a single piece, while others separate the charging cube from the cable, allowing greater flexibility in its use.
High-end mobile phones usually come equipped with chargers that include USB-C ports, which have become the standard for their ability to transfer power and data efficiently.
However, many mid-range and low-end devices still use the traditional USB-A portwhich, although less advanced, allows you to connect data cables easily, offering a practical option if the original cable breaks down.
Now, perhaps you have ever wondered what could happen if you connect a USB memory to the USB-A port of your cell phone charger and plug it into power. Could it explode? Will your device or memory suffer any damage?
Is connecting a pendrive to the mobile charger dangerous?
To clear up these doubts, an experiment has been carried out which shows that, when connecting a USB memory to the USB-A port of a charger and then plugging it into power, the first thing you should know is that nothing explosive or harmful will happen.
The pendrive will not be damaged, but it will not function as it would when connected to a computer or a device that can read or write data.
This is because the mobile charger It is only designed to transfer electrical energy, not to process data. Therefore, when you connect a USB stick to the charger, it simply supplies current, but does not interact with the memory in any way.
It is important that you understand that This experiment has no practical use.so the pendrive will not charge, nor serve any purpose other than data storage when connected to a suitable device, such as a computer or mobile phone with a USB port.
It should be noted that in the best of cases, the charger will ignore the USB stick and nothing will happen. At worst, a short circuit or damage to the memory, charger, or both could occur, especially if low-quality or non-approved chargers are used.
