Maintaining the laptop power adapter

Posted by sere on December 31st, 2020

With the growing environmental awareness, many places in our lives need to be charged: mobile phones need to be charged, cars need to be charged. If it is used incorrectly, it may cause accidents. Master the following methods to protect our chargers:

Avoid humid environment

When using the notebookpower adapter, pay attention to avoiding humid environments. The function of the power adapter is to convert the 220 volt direct current of household electricity into direct current, so it must not be used in a humid environment. Whether you place the power adapter on the table or on the ground, please be careful not to place a water cup or damp things around it, lest the adapter gets dangerous if it gets into the water and burns out.

Pay attention to heat dissipation in high temperature environment

In a high room temperature environment, we can put the adapter on its side, and pay attention to the heat dissipation of the power adapter. Unlike a laptop computer, the power adapter is just a sealed precision electrical appliance, unlike a computer that can be cooled by a fan. Since the work of the adapter itself is a process with a lot of heat dissipation, if the room temperature is still relatively high, it will be too unfavorable for the maintenance of the power adapter. Remember not to use the power adapter at high temperatures for too long. If you must use it for a long time, you need to pay attention to its heat dissipation, such as using a fan to assist in convection heat dissipation. A narrower plastic block or metal block can also be inserted between the adapter and the desktop to increase the air convection speed around the adapter and accelerate the heat dissipation of the adapter.

Use a matching power adapter

Notebook power adapter is generally composed of two parts, one is a power cord, one end is a power plug, one end can be plugged into the adapter, and the other part is the adapter body and is connected to the computer data line. If the original notebook adapter is damaged, you should purchase and use the original model matching product. If you use a counterfeit similar product, you may be able to use it in a short time, but due to the difference in manufacturing process, long-term use will have greater risks, and even cause short-circuit, burnout and other dangers.

Anti-potent chemicals

Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning agents or strong detergents to clean the charger. To remove the external stains on the charger, use cotton and a small amount of absolute alcohol to scrub.
