Maintenance notes of Energy-Saving Power Adapters in Life

The power adapter is actually a high-precision, high-efficiency switching regulated Power Supply. Its function is to convert the 100-240V AC mains into low-voltage DC power to provide stable power for the normal operation of machine. With the increasing awareness of energy saving and environmental protection, many places in our lives need to be powered by power adapters. However, if used improperly, it may cause an accident. Therefore, it is necessary to properly maintain it in daily office and entertainment to improve its lifetime.

1. Choose the adapter that matches the model.

There may be some differences in the output voltage, output current and DC plug of the power adaptor (or the nominal value does not match the actual one). So be careful when changing.

2. Create a good cooling environment.

High temperatures can shorten the life of electronics, damage chargers, and warp or melt certain plastic parts. When using the device in a high temperature environment, the power adapter should be put in a place that is not exposed to direct sunlight and ventilated. You can also put the adapter on its side or add a narrow plastic block or metal block between the ac dc adapter and the desktop. In order to increase the contact area between the adapter and the air convection speed, the heat dissipation of the adapter is accelerated.

3. Discharge static electricity when cleaning.

Clean adapters and output ports regularly. When cleaning, use a wet cloth or an antistatic cloth. Never use a dry cloth.

4. Prevent strong chemicals.

Do not use harsh chemicals, detergents, or strong cleaners to clean the adapter. To remove stains from the appearance of the adapter, wipe with a small amount of absolute alcohol on cotton.

5. Waterproof and moisture-proof, anti-drop and shock-proof.

As an electronic product, if it is not used for a long time and is exposed to a humid environment, it will cause different degrees of corrosion or oxidation of its internal electronic components. Also, rough handling of the adapter can damage the internal circuit boards.
