When (Day / Noon / Night) and with what ( Charger / Powerbank) do you charge your phones?

#1

I charge my iPhones with Wireless charging from Anker PowerWave+ Pad with Apple Watch Holder during night and if the battery nears 20% use Anker Powercore 5000 during commute or use Anker Wireless charging stand while at work.

Just wondering when do most of members charge their phones - during Day time at work or after noon before getting home or at night. Also what do you use to charge your phone - Wallcharger via cable / Wireless or use a Powerbank.

Do add comments on how you charge the phones and what is the best options to keep the battery in good health :slight_smile:

I have a Pixel stand on my nightstand, office desk, and home office desk. If I am there Its on the charger. My new car will have a wireless charger so I imagine I’ll be storing it there while driving.

I like not having to put strain on my phone charger port :smiley_cat:

I have a wireless stand next to my chair, and I often will pop my phone back on during the day, esp an hour or so before going out, even if only for a couple hours. I just like as full a battery as possible… Just in case of a major delay or incident, and I need a fuller battery.

Even tho this beast has a 4,100 battery, I like a topped up battery. If.im staying in on a day (as I do due to pain) I won’t charge … Unless I’ve been watching lots of video clips.

Like @MSTR and @Chiquinho I charge my iPhone when needed during the day while at work using either my Anker Powercore Fusion 5000 power bank, Tzumi Pocket Juice Power bank or a wall charger which ever is convenient at the moment. At night I use a wall charger. The best options I know for keeping the battery healthy are closing apps when not in use, turning off certain notifications such as Facebook, emails, and etc.

I charge my phone when it needs to be charged. Usually try to charge it at around 20%.

If I’m in the house I charge it with my powerport 5 and 6ft lightning cable, birth from anker. If I’m out of the house I charge my phone with either the powercore 13000, or the powercore 5000 (brand new, review coming soon!). I use a 6inch Apple cable out of the house

Many here have wireless charging, which I use extensively.

Have a question here, do Wireless charging provide overcharging protection. i mostly keep the phone for wireless charging on Powerwave+ Pad and also my Apple watch on the holder at night with 40% battery. The phone probably charges to 100% in 2 hours and watch takes about the same.

Does the wireless charging stop when the phone is charged 100%?

Edit - asked this question on Anker’s thread for Wireless charging FAQ

@TechMan why use the Apple cable when on the go and the Anker cable at home instead of vise versa

#10

Because the anker cable is 6ft, and the Apple cable is 6 inches…

I try to keep my battery above 50% as much as possible, so I set my iPhone on a wireless charger whenever I’m near one. It must be working: iOS reports that my battery health is still 100%!

I usually don’t charge the iphone until it’s down to 20% or when I go to sleep… Checked the battery … shows as 93% :confused:

believe I am doing something wrong

I did get a response from Anker team on the overcharging protection,

Will check it out tonight and get back.
