If your cell phone was made within the past couple of years, your cell phone charger may actually be one of the newer interchangeable models that will work with any modern phone. Cell phone companies agreed to a charger standard a few years ago that will let multiple phones use the same charging technology.

Save money when you change out your cell phone by using the same charging accessories you already own. You can also safely buy modern chargers from multiple manufacturers to use with your new phone without needing to worry that it won't charge the phone properly.

Why does a cell phone charger continue to consume power when plugged into an outlet but not the phone?

Most electronics will consume a little power even if they are off or not in use. In the case of a cell phone charger, you may notice that if it is plugged into the wall, but there is no cell phone charging, the charger will still be warm. I don't know the physics behind that, but anything that is plugged in will take up a little energy, even when not in use.

Unplug it from the computer and use a charger with higher amperage.

When charging a cell phone should you plug in wall outlet first?

It really does not make much of a difference. However, I would plug in the charger into the cell phone first, THEN into the AC power socket/outlet. The reason why is that it is usually harder to attach the charger plug into the phone. If you're pushing it in and it doesn't fit, you're making a partial connection. This may tax the power protection circuitry in the phone, because the charger is already plugged into the wall. So, best to plug it into the phone first, then into the wall.

Why does a cell phone charger drain a battery?

As long as the charger is connected to its power source it will take a small amount of power from that source (even if the phone is not connected to it), regardless of whether it is an AC "wall wart" charger or a cigarette lighter charger (although normally turning the car ignition off turns the cigarette lighter outlet off, so if it drains the car battery the car ignition switch may have a problem). If the phone is connected to the charger it may continue to take extra power even with the phone fully charged (I have a Tracfone that will drain my battery powerpack completely (if not connected to a charger its internal battery drains completely in less than 2 days even if I'm not using it at all -- this phone has something wrong in it). The real issue is now fast the charger is draining the battery. BTW, I am assuming above that you mean an external battery that the charger is connected to, not the internal battery of the cell phone itself (if this is the case I would say the phone is seriously defective as this would normally not be possible).
