How to Care for Your Electronics and Accessories

Keep your devices reliable and looking like new with simple care steps. These tips apply to phone cases, chargers, power banks, jump starters and other small electronics we sell.

Quick daily habits

• Keep devices dry and away from extreme heat or cold—store them indoors when not in use.
• Wipe surfaces with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking or spraying cleaners directly on products.
• Unplug chargers and cables by the connector, not the cord, to prevent strain and internal wire damage.

Phone cases

• Remove the phone from the case before cleaning. Clean the case with mild soap and water, then dry completely before putting it back on.
• For textured or rubberized cases, use a soft brush to remove dust from grooves.
• Check the camera and button openings for debris that can affect fit or function.

Chargers, cables and adapters

• Inspect cables for frays, kinks or exposed wire. Replace any damaged cables immediately—don’t try to repair them with tape.
• Keep charging ports free of lint and dust. Use a dry toothpick or soft brush to clear debris gently.
• Store cables loosely coiled—avoid tight knots or sharp bends that stress the wires.

Power banks and portable chargers

• Charge power banks regularly if you won’t use them for a while—store them with a partial charge rather than fully empty.
• Keep power banks away from direct sunlight and hot car interiors for long periods.
• Follow manufacturer guidance for charging rates; use recommended cables and adapters when possible.

Jump starters and heavy-duty battery packs

• Keep terminals clean and dry. Wipe with a dry cloth and cover terminals when stored.
• Check the unit periodically for damage and make sure clamps and cables remain secure and corrosion-free.
• Store in a cool, dry place and top up the charge periodically so it stays ready for emergencies.

Wireless chargers

• Keep the charging surface clean and free of metal objects. Even thin cases can interfere—remove any metal mounts before charging.
• Place devices centered on the pad for reliable charging and avoid stacking items on top.

Long-term storage and end of life

• Before storing for months, charge battery-powered devices to a partial charge and check them every few months.
• When a product no longer works or shows battery failure, recycle it responsibly. Many local centers accept electronics—check local recycling options.
