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?

Yeah I got lucky with my battery; it's at 800 cycles currently and still holds plenty of charge for my daily use. A replacement kit is also only $50 so I figure there's not much point in trying to be efficient for a marginal lifespan improvement. I'll probably end up replacing it when it hits 1000.
