Usually, it is broken before we want to replace a new adapter.
The adapter or charger is an accessory of the charging device and a tool to provide energy for the battery.
We usually only think of replacing the adapter when it has been damaged to the degree that we can see it with the naked eye.
But, in fact, there are more reasons for you to replace a new adapter.
Then let’s talk about 3 conditions for you to replace your adapter.
Exposed cables
Cables are the medium for transmitting electrical energy. It is wrapped by rubber as an insulator.
If the rubber is damaged or peeled off, the cable will be exposed, which may cause leakage during charging.
Therefore, the bare cable is a very serious degree of damage. Do not use glue to save money to cause great danger.
Internal components aging
The power adapter, like the battery, is also a consumable item. The life span is about 2 years.
Different from bare copper wires, electronic components will suffer from aging due to the long service life.
On the one hand, unlike batteries, the adapter can be repaired and reused. However, due to the relatively complicated internal structure of the adapter, there are many components distributed.
If you need to detect faults, it takes a lot of time for maintenance personnel.
Therefore, this means that repair costs are high, and it is far better to save money by replacing it with a new one.
On the other hand, repaired adapters often suffer secondary damage.
As a result, the use time is shortened, causing components to fall off.
At the same time, this will lead to a decrease in charging efficiency and may even damage the battery.
Deformed cable pin
We often unplug the power supply when the device is finishing charging, but sometimes it may cause the interface to deform due to excessive force.
As a result, if things go on like this, pins or interface will be deformed, resulting in unstable current transmission during charging.
Therefore, you will often find that the device was left for charging the night before, but it was empty in the next day.
All in all, an adapter with deformed pins cannot continue to work unless you’d like tolerate the problem of frequent failure to charge.
Or you have to use something a little heavy to hold the interface to keep charging.
When choosing an adapter, in addition to power supply parameters and pin size, be sure to make sure that the adapter is brand new.
