Sadly as usual the news seem to be getting it wrong. At least one of these must surely be wrong.
[What is IT? - The charger? - The extension cord? - The phone?]
So which article(s) are incorrect?
I find it difficult to believe that, absent the mains in the bath, dropping the charging phone in the water might have fatal results? 5V is after all surely 5V.
On the other hand, "balancing a mains extension socket on ones chest" when in the bath is clearly a bit daft, especially in a 240V country.
Can anyone shed any expert light on this?
Water and electricity do not mix well
