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?

    Bought a Xiamoi a few years ago, always wired charging. Almost never charge overnight, rarely let it go below 20%. I don’t to 80, i just let it reach 100%. It usually lasts me around 2 days.

    It’ll decrease if i use the screen more (i’m not glued to my phone); it’ll significantly decrease if i check instagram too often.
