iPhone 13 Charge Test: 20W vs 12W vs 5W (Apple)

[@UltimateiDeviceVids]

Hey guys, there appears to be some confusion based on what I said about Optimized Battery Charging at the start of this video. I recommend leaving Optimized Battery Charging ON to preserve you’re iPhone’s battery heath as much as possible. The only reason I turned it off in this video was to create the most accurate test environment possible for comparing these three charging methods to one another.

Regarding the impact of the power of the charger on the battery, your conclusion is correct. I have tried to use 20W and 5W for long-term use tests on two XRs. The result is that within 500 charging cycles, the charging power of 20W Caused the battery efficiency to drop from 100% to 92%, while the 5W device only dropped from 100% to 98%, and in daily use I charged before 30% battery remaining

[@chiwanghui1917]

After this, I told my friends my conclusion, and they obviously felt that the battery life of the device increased by nearly 15% compared to the 20W charging after charging the device directly with 5W.

[@leonardmilcin7798]

"The lower the wattage the better it is for battery health" Unfortunately, that's not always the case. Depending on battery chemistry, low current charging can cause some unwanted side effects like hard to break structures building up, memory effects, etc. Moreover, very slow charging can mess up with the charging controller and cause improper charging -- either consistently under or overcharging. In both cases this can lead to reduced battery life. The software that is supposed to monitor your battery charging and help prolong battery life can also have trouble working correctly. Do remember that the device, charger and software are all designed and tested for a *normal* user that uses recommended or similar charger. I think it is always best to follow manufacturer's guidance. It probably is ok to charge at half the current, but I would probably not want to go much lower than that.

Charging your device up to 80-100% regularly reduces batterylife. IPhones and IPads (don’t know about other Apple devices) have a feature, that reduces the charging speed at 80-90% and again at 90-100 to extend Batterylife. Thats why in the end the 12W catches up to the 20W.

I like keeping my phone battery between 30 and 80 percent. That way, I can really take advantage of my 20 watt charger as it charges faster between those ranges. Keeping it between 30 and 80 also increases the battery life as opposed to fully charging and and draining it to 20.

At first I used a MagSafe charger. But when I got my AirPods, I started using a regular 20W charger and only sometimes use the MagSafe charger to charge my iPhone. Later I found out that wireless chargers are bad for the battery health, I only used it for my AirPods since the case technically isn’t a device and doesn’t really matter if the battery health is bad due to only charging it at night.

[@dilyndukes7657]

I pre-order my iPhone 12 Pro Max when it came out and I got it on lunch day. I also got the MagSafe charger immediately after it came in. I charged my iPhone every night with the MagSafe charger for almost a year until I got my iPhone 13 Pro max on launch day. So after almost a year of using the MagSafe charger every night my iPhone 12 Pro Max battery was at 98% battery health. I still use the same MagSafe charger with my iPhone 13 Pro Max and it’s still at 100% battery health. I don’t think wirelessly charging your iPhone degrades the battery that much that you need to worry about using a wired charger instead. Also, I did use the Apple branded 20 watt power adapter with the MagSafe charger. I read online that if you don’t use the Apple branded ones with the MagSafe charger that it can degrade the battery faster but I’m not 100% sure how true that is. Hope this helps.

[@theaviator_7678]

@@dilyndukes7657 Thanks for the feedback. I do realize that you should use the 20W adapter with the MagSafe charger. But when I use the MagSafe charger, it generates a lot of heat. And that is for all wireless chargers. It is also a lot slower. And it is actually bad for your battery health if you use a 20W charger overnight. So you should just rather use a wired 5W charger if you’re gonna charge it overnight.

I only use the 20w for when I need a quick charge. Because it gets my iPhone 13pro hot when using it. And I use my 5w charger at night like you stated for the same reasons.

@Aeron No need for them to get another charger as they can use the 61 W charger as 20 W one.

[@kanehi]

@Aeron It charges okay with the 61w charger. If the iPhone only supports 20w then it would've fried the phone with 61w charger already. It works it works. I also use the 61w charger for the iPad and it's charging okay also. I also use it to charge my Samsung phones and tablet.

[@Salty_Biscuitz88]

@Aeron it’s not useless. It will charge at maximum wattage that the iPhone is about to receive. Meaning the 13 pro max can charge up to 27w.

[@purdu3]

12w is the ideal solution. Why? It maintains the phone temperature at mid level. High temperatures , I suspect, can cause plate separation in the boards. Hence, baseband issues

As of why the phone boots up different than expected (e.g. 20w -> 12w -> 5w) could be related to how long you leave the phone dead. The longer you leave it dead, the longer it takes before it boots back up. Just a piece of mind

There is a simple reason why I have never, in my eleven years of using the iPhone, charged overnight: the charging cable is way too short! If I woke up in the morning and the cable was still attached to the phone, the phone would probably drop to the floor or something else would happen, lol. But then again, I rarely have to wake up early in the morning since I mostly work evening shifts so I have plenty of time to charge the phone before going to work. Very happy to have the 20W charger now that I got my new iPhone Pro Max, it's crazy quick to charge!

Life is too short for me to use the 5w and waste my time waiting. Despite the heat as others mentioned, I’d just live my life normally, work and spend money on new battery.

[@geminix365]

20W 0 to 80 in 1 hour 10 and 80 to 100 in another one hour This just shows why you should never charge to 100 due to the stress on the battery, also explains why after 80 the 12W was catching up, because it's so much harder to charge the last units of battery. I would personally choose 12W as a winner, faster turn on, and just 10 minutes difference to 80%, also the lower power might help battery life over the years

[@hannah27_99]

The best one is the one with the lowest wattage. It creates less heat while changing and stresses the battery cells way less. So it’s the 5 W in that case. If you additionally manage to keep your charge always between 30% and 80%, as well as keeping it away from heat sources - your battery will last forever.
