Is wireless charging harmful to your OnePlus phone battery health?
The charging capability depends on our OnePlus phone’s charging compatibility and charging speed support. Many things being equal, wireless charging is naturally less harmful to your device or battery than wired charging. A wireless charger with a built-in cooling fan can help solve this problem.
During charging, not all power drawn from the power outlet reaches the device’s battery. It is widely known that the efficiency of wireless charging is about 80%. This figure can reach as high as 50% in the real world, depending on how well you match your smartphone charger and coil.
Back to wireless charging, any energy that doesn’t reach your device is converted to heat. As we emphasized earlier, constant exposure to heat will weaken your device’s battery. Also, if you use a thick case for your smartphone, it might not be cool enough.
Sometimes wireless charging can generate excessive heat, which can negatively affect battery health. Though some wireless chargers manufacturer adds cooling fans and they are limited to a fixed point. But, those chargers with lower power output keep your OnePlus phone’s temperature under control.
All things considered, you shouldn’t worry too much about wireless charging affecting battery health. Even if your phone gets dangerously hot, a modern battery management system can communicate with the charger to save power. You can reduce the output or stop charging altogether.
The temperature of any smartphone can be increased for different reasons,s not because of a wireless charger every time. Maybe your surrounding or excessive sunlight can also increase the temperature.
To fix this problem some manufacturers offer the ability to limit charging to 85% for exactly this reason. And this little knowledge may really protect your OnePlu battery health from fast charging. It looks like, if you want your smartphone battery to last as long as possible, you should focus more on the temperature than the charging pattern.
