i found one in my drawer, genuinely considering using it since i'm worried about battery longevity (already have 131 cycles in 247 days). my phone supports charging up to 30 watts but i don't think i need it most of the time. maybe for an emergency, but overnight is fine most days.
>>108979455yeah if its for overnight why not
>>108979455>131 cycles in 247 daysThis is like half the design spec schizo use a regular charger. Caps go bad you know then your phone will be fried. Wow you really saved on longevity.
>>108979455retard-sama, are you ok?
>>108979471i see. thank you>>108979479i used to have a pixel 6a and it was toast after 300 cycles. maybe it was the tensor g1's heat. idk>>108979484i don't have that. god oneUI is fucking ugly
>>108979455if you limit charge to 80% even if you use fast charger its going to last longer5W is a bit annoying, I use at least 13W usually, 30W only for emergencies, like my car will charge my phone at 24-30W but capable of 100W for the laptop
>>108979455>since i'm worried about battery longevity (already have 131 cycles in 247 days)you are autisticyou will buy a new phone before this ever manifests as a problem in your lifego to the gym
>>108979455Imagine being a phone cuck and caring so much about your itoddler device Couldn't be me. I buy used pixels on Amazon for a hundred bucks.
>>108979623You’re so special anon
>>108979623I do this but purchase used iPhones on Amazon for a few* hundred bucks
>>108979522>hurrdurr le uglyMeanwhile your shit is not even functional.
>>108979455I use a 5V 2.4A charger for overnight charging, and my phone barely gets warm at all on it. I only use the 68W charger it came with when I need it charged up more quickly.
>>108979455Learn to solder and just replace your battery
>>108979455Sure why not, the only two drawbacks I can think of are that it will be slow and won't work over a long cable, which are both non issues if you're charging overnight I wonder if anons can weigh in, I prefer wireless charging partially to preserve the connector on my phone, is this stupid? It heats the phone more than wired charging obviously, but it's not a very high wattage
>>108979455It doesn't matter that much as long as you don't get too close to floor/ceiling on your cycleshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLS5Cg_yNdM
>>108982519>chinese linusI've been surprised that so little of regular chinese media/internet makes it to a western audience, from what little I've seen of their esports scene they seem like they have a dedicated shitposting community built around everything, and I can't help but feel a kinship there, but all we get here are obviously raging paid shills
>>108979455You can do that.But alternatively you could upgrade to wireless charging which is also slow and thus gentle on the battery.Wireless charging combined with a max of 80% also makes it easier to keep your battery within the 20%-80% range which is also better for longevity than letting it drop below 20% or charge over 80%.This is because it's less of a hassle to top your battery up multiple times a day when you use wireless charging (and in case you wonder: no, charging multiple times a day doesn't add "cycles" it's only the total amount charged that matters not the number of sessions)
>>108982487>just replace your batteryUnfortunately most modern phones are hard to open and don't seal up properly again when you're done swapping the battery.Hopefully the EU will do something about this.IMO they don't even have to make phones home reparable just make it possible to go to a specialized shop and get a 10 minute battery swap that retains the original water resistance for €30 or so.
>>108982499I use a wireless charger pad connected to a fairly low wattage power brick. Takes like 4-5 hours to charge my phone overnight which is sort of intentional. It barely gets warm and saves wearing out the usb connector. But I'm also not glued to my phone all day so I pretty much never have a need for "OMG give me 50% more charge RIGHT NOW for another 4 hours of scrolling"
>>108982665It's really only apple who are quite so awful, at least they have stopped using epoxy to close their phones (as far as I know) but I don't think anyone does quite the same level of bullshit with parts pairing and preventing diy repairs
>>108982499>It heats the phone more than wired charging obviouslyThe ideal temperature to charge batteries at is in the 30-50C range, so a little extra warmth over room temperature is actually a benefit.
Jesus Christ, I stopped worrying about batteries like a decade ago, I just use them, if they go bad I just replace them, every fucking iphone batteries can be replaced so quick and cheap nowadays I don't know why you keep doing retarded shit around it.Lucky for you next year most electronics will have easily replaceable batteries on eu because of that law.
>>108982695huh, the more you know>>108982678yeah it seems sensible to reduce mechanical wear where it's easy to do so, I think my wireless charger is like 7W or, glad to know I'm not crazy
>>108982691My Samsung is glued close, requiring heating and alcohol to open and new glue to close up again.I think that's pretty normal for Android phones.It would be nice if they could just use screws and a rubber gasket.
>>108982741Aren't phones going to have replaceable battery starting next year?
>>108982741I guess people's thresholds for repairability being easy/possible are different, I already repair electronics, have a heat gun, and am fine with a few glues, I learned how to solder to replace the batteries in my wireless budsI think there's an EU law coming that will force some phones to use screws and gaskets, but I think that there's a loophole that will allow phones to stay glued if they meet certain battery longevity benchmarks
>>108979455https://randsinrepose.com/guides/apple-charging/apple-charging-guide.html> HEAT> The #1 killer. At 45°C (113°F), lifespan is halved vs. 20°C (68°F). A phone on a hot dashboard with a 5W charger degrades faster than fast-charging indoors at room temperature.t. happily charges his iPad with an 8W Nintendo Pro Controller charge cable>>108982499>I prefer wireless charging partially to preserve the connector on my phone, is this stupid?AFAICT no as long as the phone isn’t warm already
>>108979455no anon 15w isnt enough to boot a phone anymore
>>108982766Only phones or devices that are not supposed to be waterproof/resitant AFAIK, another EU nothing-burger sadly...even worse than glued backplates or removing a display first are the batteries that are held in by the strongest glue known to earth, have turned many phones to smoke machines when the battery was already about to burst. Luckily Samsung and Apple (others maybe too) are now using easier ways to remove them.
>>108979455Yes if plugging it into a wireless charger. Otherwise no.
>>108979455Batteries degrade. It's just what they do. They're inherently self-destructive mechanisms. Don't modify your usage of battery-powered electron devices worrying about battery health; the inconveniences of any changes you make to your behavior will automatically outweigh the benefits. Just use your electronics as you naturally would and replace their batteries as needed.
>>108979455Then charge at 30 watts you stupid idiot. The battery is going to degrade whether you charge it with a trickle charger or not. By the time you actually have a problem, you can either get a new phone, or replace its battery. The new Anker and UGREEN aftermarket charging bricks and cables are the shit.
