How about talking while using the charger in the car?  I do it all the time and so far I'm still alive.  Am I just lucky?

Oh, Gary, you are so 细心。。。！

This couldn't be true.  You might have a chance of getting yourself burnt if a bad battery so happens to explode.  But there's no way you'd get an electric shock.  This is a just cellphone charger, how many volts do you think it outputs?   Where did you get this information from?
