Don’t put a fast charger for overnight charge. It degrades the battery. I got my charger hooked up to my server’s usb port and it’s able to charge a 10000mha battery overnight at nearly 100% from low percents.
When I plug my phone in at night, it slow chargers itself to 100% up until my first alarm.
Battery degradation is caused by extreme temperatures right? There is no way a fast charger will make your phone warm enough to cause any meaningful damage. (80% confidence)
Extreme temperatures AND high C (coulomb) rates. Not really a problem on most smart phones. But you’d have to charge from 0-100% in under 20 minutes (above 3 coulomb) for that to become a real problem
My one plus can charge 0 to 100 in about that time.
It does this by moving some of the charging circuit into the charger and having 2 cells in the battery.
The article literally says fast charging degrades your battery faster
“Further, many phones are now programmed to shut off power once the battery is full, even if it remains plugged in.”
Quoting the article they linked for you. Since you seem to have either missed this important bit or are being pedantic. Unless your phone is 10 years old, it won’t.
Fast charging generates more heat, and heat degrades lithium batteries. That is the issue, not how long the phone is plugged in
Maybe not useful, but-
I use a setting on my phone that doesn’t let it charge past 80%. It still charges at 78% tho.
Most modern phones also already do that and show 100% when they’re at ~80% because they want to optimize battery life.
Minimize some e-waste, right? It’s not like I’m ever that far from a USB c
thats what she said
My beagle insists on being little spoon at night, so I hug him until he starts dreaming and jostles me awake. Then I make him move to my feet because I can’t stand how he moves when he dreams while I’m also trying to sleep lol
I prefer it right in the middle, so there’s enough room for 2 hot laptops on each side 😁
I’m claustrophobic just thinking about that nightmare
I’m not necessarily feeling claustrophobic about it, depending on some details, but I am worried about laptops venting from the bottom.
Well, I don’t compile stuff there, mostly movies/lectures and reading stuff, so they don’t really overheat. Well, except maybe t440p with 45w i7-4910mq, but with its battery discharge rate it is almost always docked anyways
😍 Hot single laptops available in your area 😍
As long as “single” doesn’t stand for single-core, count me interested 😁
I have an outlet right by the headboard and a cable long enough so I can be wherever I want in the bed, this doesn’t seem like an issue that exists for any other reason than people’s stupidity and consciously chosen problems. Even if you have an outlet on the other side of the room, just get an extension cable.
A 10 foot charging cable is like $15 on amazon
And very liberating.
That’s nothing. I got a quarter mile cable for $30 and I can almost make it to 7-11 before I need to unplug
A 10 foot charging cable does not last very long
I’m typing this with a 6 year old 3 metre charging cable. They last long enough if you buy high quality and don’t abuse your stuff.
Yes but what you must consider is that drag is very irresponsible with electronics and will totally break the cable out of incompetence.
This depends heavily on the laptop hardware and the activities, both of which you referenced.
If you have a need for being surrounded by four laptops in bed, it seems likely you’re already exceeding standard cooling requirements in some direction.
