- So I saw a bunch of comments on a recent video of mine about wireless chargers degrading battery health. And in this video I explain whether or not wireless chargers degrade your battery health or damage your battery or is it just a myth. Since wireless or induction charging has gotten to a point where almost every upper mid range to high end smartphone has it, people have started using it more frequently thanks to its easy of use. Apple's iPhone battery health monitoring system which allows you to see how much your iPhone's battery health had degraded has started to cause people to wonder how their iPhones battery health has degraded and how they can stop it, and a main suspect is usually wireless charging as phones overheat while wireless charging. The popularity of Belkin Wireless chargers, Anker Wireless chargers and Apple MagSafe chargers have seriously pushed the technology into a serious and useful feature on modern smartphones. But some people have asked, do wireless chargers degrade battery health? or are wireless chargers bad for your phone?..reasonable questions for a technology as such. So lets answer the questions of whether wireless chargers ruin your battery health or damage your battery! #WirelessCharging #MagSafe #FastCharging

Thanks for this. Good thing I haven't bought a magsafe charger yet and the magsafe case I bought was relatively cheap yet functional.
Very informative, thank you for the video!
I'm looking into this video because I'm gonna switch from Samsung to Apple soon which unfortunately they still don't have Usb C, so I was worried about using the Magsafe too much may degrade my battery. It's good to know that it's not always the case.
I love that you analyzed the human and mental aspect of this, not just stats!
Is qi certification necessary or do most chargers pass this test to the point they don’t bother putting it on the box?
Nice..ive been charging my phone slowly on the wireless charger...and fast charge on cable... what about the best percentage to charge between..i usually charge the phone from 40% to about 90ish %.. seems to be good?
Very well explained, you deserve more subs!
So is the apple mag portable charger ok to use very infrequently and only when no access to an outlet to obtain a little extra time.
Interesting thanks. Quick question though: does it impact taking the phone off and on the MagSafe charger ? I use the MagSafe thing as a holder for the phone. If I go to the kitchen or feed the cat I remove the phone from it. So over a day I probably ‘start’ a charge about ten times. Does that impact battery life ?
I’d be curious to have a video about car charging… I’ve heard a couple of times car’s power outlet aren’t super consistent in the power flow and that could hurt devices.
I have purchased an aftermarket wireless dock, but still using my 5mAh charging brick from apple store. Don't think I get the full 15w fast charging, but it still charges pretty fast. Think I'll test with cable, but I doubt I can get the full 15w charge using this brick so I think I'm technically not "fast-charging" the phone. Feel free to tell me if I'm wrong. Have an iPhone 13 Mini
I have same model with you. Should I buy it or not
Thank you for making that very clear. Your explanation was more than sufficient.
Actually Magsafe already tried to solve alot of these problem. Thats why they are little slower than other solution from Android world because they dynamically change the charging wattage based on temperature of both the phone and charger, another thing is they also add magnet to align the coils to reduce the waste of power.
id hope so i bought a magsafe charger for 150 ec a couple months ago
Thanks very much, that was very informative and helpful. (subscribed 👍🏻)
glad it was helpful!
I use wireless charging at night (slow wireless charging with ac) i dont experience it heating or what
so I'm using the Samsung s22+ with Samsung 15w wireless charger I think I'm good as far as I understand from your video
Also in summer now the phone is warm but not heating hehe thanks for the info :)
I have a 5w Puro wireless charger for my iPhone 11. Charges relatively fast and doesn’t cause overheat on my device 🎉
Omg I’m getting my iPhone 13 in 11 days with all the accessories not only did this video help with decisions, but made me even more excited to get mine!
Ok pero quién te preguntó?
@@Mardoxx7 Jajaja
Thank you! Nobody has done a video on this besides you, great idea!
I just brought a 15-watt wireless duo charger from Samsung 2 days back. I'm using a Samsung note 20 ultra phone. The wireless charger comes with a 25-watt wall charger adapter just like my phone which even out of the box has a 25-watt wall charger adapter to plug in. Due to the Usage of the Samsung wireless charger Will degrade my phone's battery or not? Since it's manufactured by Samsung do I need to worry? One more doubt is for a 15-watt wireless charger why does Samsung give 25-watt wall charger adapter?
I get 26 degress while mag charging, is that safe?
good video, very informative indeed and touching on relevant points
This was great and useful, thanks.
Thank you. Every aspect covered
Thank you for the video! Very informative!!!
does coil alignment affect charging efficiency? Would magsafe reduce these inefficiencies?
I wanna know the answer to this question
Apparently yes
My coworker bought an iPhone 12 Pro Max, which she has on a wireless charger all day, about six months ago and her battery health is now at 92% which to me seems kind of low for a phone that old. Another coworker who has had an iPhone 12 mini for about four months and who uses the cable to charge has 100% battery health.
That is a very unreliable claim because battery health is also dependant to the user’s usage and his/her charging habit. If you use a lot of performance heavy apps, the phone will heat up very easily hence it will degrade your battery health much faster no matter which charging option you go. There are a lot of combinations we can do here but the optimal usage is most probably using low performance dependent apps and also constantly using low power wireless charger between 20 - 80% because you will easily hit 100% when using the cable, unless you have a complete confidence that you will always pull out your cable before 90%.
@@mocha6315 What exactly is unreliable about what I’m saying? I’m just stating facts. I did not draw a conclusion.
@@MrMartis913 it is unreliable because you do not provide any context. The only information you gave is your coworker used wireless charging for six months and it drops to 92%. You didn’t gave informations like how frequent they charge their phones per day or their apps usage which hugely impacts their battery health. Your claim is absolutely stupid and not worth to take note for.
Edit: grammar
@@mocha6315 It’s funny how you say “not worth to take note for” and yet here you are taking note of it. I did say she has her phone on the charger “all day” but no, I didn’t state her app usage because I don’t know it and I don’t need to know it. My first comment was essentially a hypothesis, not a conclusion, which you seem to have difficulty understanding. You said my claim was “absolutely stupid”. There is no reason to be rude. I’m sorry you can’t get laid, but don’t take it out on me.
Stupidity is your BFF.
Should I charge one day with cable other day with wireless
Can frequent, short charging damage/degrade battery faster? Like I put a phone on a wireless charger for 15min, get a text message, pick the phone up, respond, put the phone down on the charger and so on for 8 hours (let's say at work).
i wonder the same. I want to put a wireless charger on my desk. This way my phone will never fall below 20% and i will do my best to not charge it to %100. They say this is the best way to preserve battery life. So having wireless charger is both easier to charge and comfortable but also it is good for battery health.
i charged my iphone first with cable, after 2 month the baterry degraded 2-3%, after i started to use wireless charger the battery wont degraded so i recommend wireless charger for iphone users... never charge with cable...
And yes im charging from 15% to 100% everytime......
I use my magsafe charger with a usb c female to usb a male adapter into an old school apple 5w block. Im planning keeping my 15 pro max at least 3-4 years as i did with my 12 pro max. Also i keep the battery 20-80% while only charging once a day at night while i sleep.
it's the opposite for me, I quit using a USB charger and keep my phone on a Samsung wireless charger most of the day everyday and after 2 Years my battery life and performance is almost as good as it was brand new.
On which model??
I wanna buy a powerbank .... Wireless or wired which is better for battery
@@BlazeCR3 Samsung note 20 ultra
now im positive about my cunclusiom that witeless charger heat will degrade my battery life.
"Uses 47% more power than a cable." big OOOOF, now I feel bad buying and using magsafe D:
2:21 - charge cycles isn't just about going from 0-100. It is any time the battery cycles from charging>use/discharging>charging. That's why older NiMH/NiCd trickle chargers destroyed Li-based batteries, because it continually tops out the battery as soon as "charge" is spent or lost. So a wireless charger repeatedly charging your phone from 100%>99>100>99 eats up charge cycles... and so is placing it on the dock, using it for a minute, placing it back on the dock, check your text, place it back, etc.
very smart and great details
very usefull thankfully my knockoff magsafe is only 7watts
I’ve never heard anyone complain that using a wireless charger is that much easier than a wired one
Why would someone complain about it being _easier?_
So slow wireless charging is better?
yes
This is the way
Yes
I think I’ll save the $40 and save electricity by sticking with the cable. Thanks!
Thats some very nice writing skills you got mate
Thats why the pixel 1st gen wireless charger is the best one. Minimum heat .
5W chargers are best if one planning to keep the phone for longer period, this will help the phone battery health in good condition
I was using the wireless chargers in McDonalds the other day, it drained my Lumia 950 battery opposed to charging it!
lol
I was more interested as of why u use the lumia 950 in 2021
The fact that the lumia 950 still runs.. mine was replaced over 3 years ago
@@almerammar8601 good camera, NFC, wireless charging, windows hello. And it was brand new for £15. But im buying a surface duo soon as I tested it out in Microsoft London and proved amazing!

Charging more often does not equal less cycles because two half charges will still equal one charge or one cycle but it could still be better for the battery overtime.
The first part of your comment is not correct. Two half-charges from 25-75% will degrade your battery *much* less than one full charge from 0-100%.
@@pureby could you explain why because charge cycles confuse me
@@wajih228 Without getting too technical: rechargable batteries "rest" at 50%. 0% and 100% are the two most stressful states. Think of a battery as your stomach -- you won't feel good after eating 3 portions of food in a row, neither will you if you have eaten nothing for the full day. But you feel perfectly fine somewhere in-between lunch and dinner.
Besides, going to 0% triggers chemical processes which facilitate battery degradation. Going to 100% produces extra heat, which too degrades battery.
The best practice is to charge your batteries at least 10-90 instead of 0-100. This can literally make your battery last years longer.
@@purebyyou are wrong.
Great video, thanks.
As long as there is a YES, then it’s a YES.
"when your being extra lazy"??? how dare you!!
but I admit I’m a very lazy person TT
So off the top you’re only giving yourself 80% of your battery anyway. That’s already 1/5 of your battery not being used anyway. Makes no sense.
You too. 🤡🤡🤡
Good video! Thanks
So 10w wireless charging should be fine correct?
yeah its fine since that's pretty slow too
Yes they do, never charge any of your devices with this bs. Ive has 2 AirPod pros melt on wireless chargers, and 3 iPhones. Stick with the cables if you want your phone to last. Wireless charging will never be good..ever
Basically wireless charging is bad for long term battery health ig
To charge an Apple is already slow with cable. Sorry, only if you are the kind of people that charges at night, while sleeping, magsafe charge doesn´t work for me. And, to be worst, if you use a wireless charger that isn´t an Apple, the power is cut to a half. Could be worse? Another manufacturers have wireless charger with 50w, 2,5 times Apples wired charge! One joke after another from Apple with their "flagship" tecnologies....
Thats what i think … wireless charging to much heat !
Y’all think too much.. iphones released since 11 Pro Max have good battery life, so I doubt 10% drop in battery health would affect your life much.
My old XS Max was at 91%, still gives more or less same battery life.
Now with my 13 Pro max and its INSANE battery life, I doubt that ill struggle with battery life even when the health drops lower than 80%
YOU ARE AMAZING
Very good
Charging %10 to %100 everytime doesnt degenerate your battery. For my last 4 phones, i always plug it in nights at %10-20 and get it at full in the morning. None of my phones battery died before the phone itself died. The point is you can charge 50-80 or 10-50 or 5-100, everytime it affects battery as one cycle and degrade it same amount.
If you've repeated the same words three times instead of two you could have made it into a 10 minute video.
no yes or no or no or yes
New
Great content
Glad you enjoyed it!
So yes it does or no it does not? I’m not watching this entire video.
this is being lazy to the next level
Yes and No
yes
If there is too much heat - yes, otherwise not
Tik tok generation can’t take 2 minutes
My iPhone 13 Pro Max , bought new, battery at 99%. After using the MagSafe for a few months, the max capacity is now at 95%. Besides that, I think the 13 pro max is the worst phone I’ve ever had.
This video is false, remove it from TH-cam
lol..okay you explain then?
The 20% thing is a myth, or is now that battery tech has improved enough to only complete a cycle of your battery no matter when or how much it is charged.
It's not a myth, it's actual battery chemistry. A complete cycle count has nothing to do with the 20 and 80% sweet spot. Yes discharging a battery from 80% to 30% twice equates to a complete cycle, but it is way easier on the battery than going from 100 to 0%. The amount of cycles on a battery is only a portion of the impact on longevity, excessive heat and being in the upper and lower 20% are two big things that degrade lithium batteries much quicker.
Op. 🤡

I’m getting overheating issues with the apple MagSafe and 20 w brick. Does this degrade the battery?
yep definitely..I don't use my magsafe anymore
@@Techformative557 thanks for your help! Now I can decide on returning it. I was hoping the problem might change for the 13 pro max however it’s still the same.
Sure! yeah I wish it woulda not overheated but a lot of high watt chargers are like that..the Magsafe is abit worse tho...wireless charging above 12W will heat up nevertheless...my 12 Pro Max is still at %100 health cause I always slow charge it
Im using a wet towel under the magsafe charger for the heating problem 😊
@@Techformative557 If i use the magsafe with a 5W brick for example, will it still heat up, will it degrade the battery?
