Show Notes
That drawer full of cheap, unbranded chargers isn't just clutter—it's a potential fire hazard. This episode dives into the "charger graveyard," explaining why most budget chargers are dangerous and how to choose safe, smart gear for AA, AAA, and lithium-ion cells. We break down the chemistry, the risks of "universal" chargers, and why an eight-bay limit is a smart rule of thumb.
