When charging a phone wirelessly, there is sometimes significant heat generated. That combined with higher charging rates that are now coming out with the Qi 2 standard make me wonder what the ideal charge for the battery would be.
Most of the time I just toss my phone onto a wireless charger before bed, and don’t really care how quickly it charges. Would it be better to use a 5W brick with a charging pad? Should wireless be avoided and usb used instead?
Because in 3-5 years I can just press a button and magically have 100% again when I need it. It’s not the same boat at all.
The real question is why would you deliberately accelerate the degradation when you don’t need it?
I already explained why you’d want to… So you get more use of your battery, and you’re not having to think about your battery constantly.
