    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

          “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.

    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.

    I prefer it right in the middle, so there’s enough room for 2 hot laptops on each side 😁

        I’m not necessarily feeling claustrophobic about it, depending on some details, but I am worried about laptops venting from the bottom.
