We all have the habit of keeping cell phones in charge all night, but maybe we don’t know how much it costs us.
It is appropriate to say that unfortunately today we have to break away from everything in order to save a few euros in our bills. But he is not necessarily bad.
We are listening and reading to the point of obsession: we have to save. Or better, consume less. Or, limit the use of energy-consuming devices.
At this point, it seems that using electric current is equivalent to engulf a resource that – let’s remember – until yesterday and available. Expensive perhaps, and not free, but available. Today this resource is gone. Or rather, there is not something for everyone in the same way. It is probably it will be even worse in the coming months.
The solution? Disconnect devices, appliances, even the most useful ones like the washing machine. But also detach, from what had perhaps become an “excessive addiction”. We can take advantage of the historical moment to get some fresh air (that was free, until the advent of masks). For change some habits. Not so much – or not only – to save.
Among the numerous suggestions that come to us constantlythere is also that for reduce your bill by using the charger differently. Here’s why, and what’s best to do.
Keep your cell phone in charge all night, that’s how much it costs and why it is better to disconnect it, also for health
As we said at the beginning of the article, surely each of us, in the evening, attaches the mobile phone to the charger. He keeps it there all night long, so you can hear the alarm in the morning. A curiosity: until a few years ago, cell phones rang the alarm even when turned off. Now, if we want to use this function, we have to keep the smartphone switched on at all times. At least in stand-by.
This causes it to consume electricity. But even when switched off, a cell phone being charged consumes. We want to know how much? Well, according to some averages (which obviously do not apply to all phones) we are around 2.24W. That goes up to 3.68W if we use the cellphone while it is charging. These consumptions refer to a whole night.
Why must we remember that the time it takes to get it to 100% it is much lower. In fact, they are enough 2 or 3 hours only. Also maybe not everyone knows that it is not very “healthy” for the phone itself to charge longer than necessary. The battery runs out faster, and sometimes even device failures and / or fires can occur.
Keeping your cell phone on charge all night therefore hurts. To the pockets in the first place. But it is not only this. We have now become “completely addicted” to the telephone. We have to admit it. A notification arrives and we check immediately, and then the messages, emails, social networks, audio etc.. We undergo one continuous stimulusduring the day and also at night.

Sure everyone is free to use the mobile as he wants, but perhaps detaching yourself from the current for a moment will also have its positive effects. We can only recharge the mobile phone for the necessary 2-3 hours during the day. And maybe, at night, just leave it in another room. Return to the classic alarm clock. The savings on the bill will be insured. And maybe even a little more relaxation.
