Keep it cool 

Chargers can be harmed by extreme temperatures, both hot and cold. Avoid leaving chargers on carpet or rugs, particularly in warm areas. Insulate it before moving throughout the winter.

Keep it tucked away 

A misplaced charger can suddenly transform into a tripwire. This could significantly harm you in addition to harming the charger (by tearing the cord or breaking the plug head, for example).

Use a surge protector 

Electrical surges can occur at any time, and if they are severe enough, they can harm or even kill electronic components. Don't take the chance, especially in stormy weather or in structures with circuits that weren't constructed properly.
