Use a spring from a pen to stop your charger cable from becoming damaged

[Dave]

With frequent usage, charger cables can become frayed or damaged. When this happens, they have a greater risk of overheating and starting a fire, or they may just stop working altogether.

To prevent this, you can take the metal spring out of a pen and wrap it around your charger cable to give it extra support. This'll hopefully help it to last longer.

The video below shows you how to do this in a few easy steps.

I have tried various methods to keep charging cables from getting damaged.  Number one.  Don't use the unit like a phone while charging.  That puts stress on the cable.
