Quoting Butters

Mike,

Nice article, its good to know there is soomeone out there that shares similar concerns, although I do have a 24/7 folder.

I do have one question, what about cell phone chargers with and without a cell phone plugged in, left in the socket?

Thanks for the comments Butters and GH

Good question.. Although I didn't include it in the article, I did test a phone charger, which appeared to draw about 3W while charging my blackberry. I didn't test it without anything connected. I'll do that tonight and let you know. My meter isn't terribly sensitive to small amounts of load, unfortunately. If it is below 2W, it probably will not register.
