Does wireless charging Healthier?

[Akira Shimazu]

so in previous topic i noted that after one year using Fast charging apple for my IP12 cost me 11% battery span over a year.

i have the 15w of huawei wiresless charging port. is that help?

im talking about heat generated and etc. idk how wireless charge works.

Wireless charging is going to generate lots of heat. Ideally you want to charge your phone between 5-12W. Had a Moto G7+ for 3 years, using almost exclusively 10W charging: lost a total of 4% battery health. That phone was a real champ.

Same, I just use a good old 5V/2A power brick. Wireless charging heats everything up a lot, terrible efficiency.

As far as i read before, wireless charging is a cool party trick but the heat it produces can be bad for the phone.

Wireless charging sucks, on my LG Velvet when it's in a case and you charge it wirelessly + use wireless android auto the phone heats up so much it has to throttle performance. Charging is extremely slow too. I only really use wireless charging at night, have a 5W IKEA charger, it's so slow it's like battery spa.

Isn't it better to leave your phone to charge overnight on a wireless charger than leaving it to charge the whole night through a cable?

With a cable your phone will be charged in 30 minutes but with wireless charging it'll take at least several hours, therefore staying at 100% the whole time for less. Isn't that healthier for the battery?

With a slow (5-10W) cable charger it'll maybe take 2 hours to charge, with wireless it's about the same but with added heat.

Best is to use the feature that most decent phones have nowadays to delay full charge until the morning.

My Moto g100 has it on by default, and it was annoying for a while until it learned my schedule, but I eventually turned it off after having a sometimes charged phone when in a 3 hour organic chem lab. I generally do the 80-20 just out of habit and it having a very large battery that takes a while to charge. Recently got an Anker nano so that it would charge at 15W continuously, and that has made a huge difference for quick top-ups.

Just use a slow charging cable, speed is based on a lot of things, but heat won’t help. If you need convenience, it won’t hurt ;/
