Healthiest way to charge Lithium Ion (lemmy.world)

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?

My A52s has a built-in function to not let it charge above 80. I keep it on unless I need the extra 20% for instance when I'm away for a while.

Samsung Galaxy S24 has this too.

Really? My girlfriend's A52 doesn't have this feature. That is part of why I bought my Xperia 5ii. Is it a new feature?

(After 3 years the battery is at 70% on mine because apparently Sony uses shitty as hell batteries and software drain glitches, while my girlfriend's A52 always charging to 100% lasts a day and a half with 3x the use, would not recommend)

Maybe it's only in the A52s, not the A52.
