Here are some precautions you can take when using public charging stations for your mobile devices:

1. Before plugging in, inspect charging cables for any signs of damage, such as fraying or brittle areas. Check the surrounding charging station as well.


2. Many of these stations will have the option to set a charging limit to avoid overcharging. Set this limit to a lower limit if possible.


3. Always unplug the charging cable when you’re done, and stow the cable in a pocket or bag.


4. Avoid leaving your device unattended while charging.


5. Stay vigilant and aware of your surroundings to protect your personal information.
