    Your phone does gain a charge of static electricity along with the rest of you, but there’s no difference in the gained charge across the pins on the charging port. So since the charging port pins see the same increase in charge they have no electric force to push it into the battery. You’re pushing equally hard into the entrance and exit. It’s like trying to blow into both ends of a hose at the same time.
