According to a published report from Stanford University, mobile phones, laptops and electronic devices are known for generating excess heat.
It can ensure that the devices do not function properly and in some cases lead to the explosion of lithium batteries, which are found in most mobile phones.
The study suggested that customers should use original chargers and not cover themselves with cloth while they are charged.
Devices must also be disconnected from the power output when they are fully charged and covered with a protective cover, which the owner can offer extra security when they start to warm up.
