Samsung Note 3 9005 Charger: Safe to Keep Plugged In 24/7? Impact on Electricity Usage?

Hello,
I have a question for electricians (I hope a good department), namely the original Samsung charger for a powerful phablet (Samsung Note 3 9005), a Li-Ion 3200 mAh battery, can it be connected to the socket all the time along with the wiring ( USB cable connected to it)?
Will it not heat up too much / wear out when connected 24 hours a day? Let me not burn the hut yet, as if it had exploded; p
Can it pull a lot of electricity with such a theoretical lack of work (when the phone is not connected to it)?

I used to use a plug from a portable device a lot and after some time absent-mindedly, I put the two pins wrongly in the socket (I missed it too well; p) and one of them bent because of it, and the other broke completely ...

I am afraid that something similar can happen with this charger (destroying it when frequently inserting and removing it from the socket), and that I do not know too much about electricity, I ask that later I will not suffer any unpleasant consequences, if it turns out, that, however, such a charger must not be in the socket non-stop.

Regards

In my opinion, it can be in the socket non-stop. I myself have a LG phone charger connected for over a year and nothing bad is happening.
The current consumption is known to be there, but such a charger does not take too much of it.
Apart from being mechanically damaged by someone, she is not likely to be in any danger.

Don't be afraid :)

My Nokia charger has been on every day for a year and the other one from Sony-Ericsson has been working as an alarm power supply for ~ 5 years.
There will always be some power consumption, but you will not feel it in your bills. (unless you are very tight )

According to the technical data, my charger takes 0.2A ... So it won't stretch a fortune And my friend's charger, I doubt that it will charge much more than mine.

First of all, why should it be turned on 24h?

Second, anything can happen with today's equipment.

As I wrote, I want to avoid damaging the charger, if I put it wrong again quickly.

Before buying a new phone, I used an old htc smartphone, it charged quite quickly when plugged into a USB, so I put the charger in the cabinet. The USB cable was always connected to the port on the computer, it was enough to insert the other end into the telephone and there were gites (fast, handy and safe).

The current phone charges via USB from 0-100% for about ... 7 hours,
It is completely unprofitable to do this, having a charger that charges it from zero to a hundred in about 1.5 hours, so only it is at stake and it is best if it was in standby mode all the time, it is simply more convenient.

I just touched this charger (it has been connected for half a day), it is cold as ice, besides all the equipment in the house (computer, kettle, TV, microwave, cooker, router, hi-fi, etc., etc. are connected constantly to electricity (only turned off during a storm and a long absence of all household members), so such a phone charger probably should not hurt anything:>

Colleague Łukasz is right in part, because the equipment is now of poor quality and you never know what will happen with them.
But all in all, following this line of reasoning, you would have to unplug everything from the socket! TV set, satellite set-top box, and even a modem from the Internet!
In my opinion, do not worry, leave the charger in the socket, even if it breaks down one day, it costs pennies.

But the sparks shouldn't sprinkle, or will they burst into flame?
Because the charger is a piece of cake next to a burnt house ..
I do not know what it is like with plugs that have a charger attached to them in the vicinity, the plugs themselves are unlikely to do any harm.

Remember the author that the plastic from which the casing is made is just as cheap, as is the electronics inside.
My grandmother said for two. I am alert after an incident and try to disconnect unnecessary chargers and power supplies from the sockets.

Of course, you also can't go crazy

"Don't do something unpleasant to someone else" - even when you are rich.
Switch-mode power supplies, esp. cheap / simplified (including miniature phone chargers) in most cases do not meet EMC requirements (even when they have dozens of CE, TUV, and other markings on the housing ...) in 99.9% of cases they interfere with radio frequencies through radiated and conducted interference, in very different frequency bands, from long waves through medium and ultra-short waves (even> 100 ... 400MHz), usually not only / not necessarily in the bands just received by a given person, but also in radio communication bands, e.g. ambulance, taxi, radio amateurs.
These disturbances are often greater in the absence of load; Switch-mode power supplies often have a built-in minimum load (resistor), without which they are damaged, do not turn on or do not work stably.
Interference from such a miniature power supply can cause reception / communication problems even at distances greater than 1000m.
These disturbances are not always "directly audible in the loudspeaker" - they can be, for example, broadband - cause a decrease in receiver sensitivity, an increase in the number of received errors in digital transmission ...
Unfortunately, it is common to use switches on ... the output of power supplies, e.g. for LEDs, built into RTV equipment (because cheaper switches turn on easier and the light, almost empty housing does not move on the table so much ...).
As long as the power supplies were linear / transformer, eg in radio tape recorders - such a switch "on the low voltage side" only increased the power consumption and bills for it, with impulse power supplies it is not so rosy.

Fortunately, there are also extension cords with a switch - for 3, 4, 5, 6 sockets in the strip - IMHO is a must-have for modern "modern" home and office equipment.

the charger can be on all the time, just a waste of electricity

Mine has been in contact for ~ a year non-stop and another has been working for ~ 5 years as an alarm power supply. Niwe buy the cheapest cheesy Chinese only buy a more expensive model, preferably the original one.

Those for PLN 5 may be so, but brand names from Nokia, Samsung or other companies have nicely suppressed disturbances. Until I was impressed with how such miracles I researched. So if the author has it original it shouldn't be a problem.

Hello.
I also did not believe that something could happen to such a charger and often left it connected non-stop.
Until a colleague from work almost burned out. Fortunately, only one room swept up and the firefighters put out. Since then, every time I unplug my phone, I take the charger out of the socket. No matter if original or not.
I prefer to be safe than sorry.

The rest of the equipment should also be unfastened, and the best: you leave the house to the fuses down and that's it. The original charger does not have the option to burn out this way. Anyway, its performance inside and outside is at a high level. It is different with counterfeit products called substitutes. I am not even sure about this as I sit next to it and keep an eye on it. It is enough to disassemble cheaper replacements for laptop power supplies.
