Brits waste £134m a year overcharging their gadgets...

Leaving a gadget plugged in after the battery is full can increase a household’s annual electricity bill by £60, according to the report.

Nine in ten people keep gadgets on permanent charge even though this damages the battery life.

One in ten admits they are too lazy to unplug the gadget despite the extra costs.

The most overcharged devices are laptops (43 per cent of the total), mobile phones (41 per cent) and iPods (ten per cent).

Electric toothbrushes, hand-held vacuum cleaners and cordless home phones are also likely to zap unnecessary juice. Full story...
