Forgot my S7E on the charger...

[mountainman]

My S7 edge is currently on a Samsung fast wireless charger....been there for about 3 days solid. Never gets warm...it will stop charging when it is at 100%.

Thank you.

That link actually disproves yours and their point ...

"All modern Li-Ion rechargeable devices have some sort of power management IC, designed to prevent overcharging the battery. They'll keep your phone battery topped off and ready to go throughout the night with a trickle charge at most."



After this gem of misleading opinion based reporting misconduct, it goes on to explain why it's safe for many laptops using an example that applies to zero phones. But right in that screenshot, it says trickle charge is LESS harmful to the battery than letting it deplete extremely true. A nuance that all of us agree with.

If your choice is letting it die or leaving it sitting on trickle you obviously choose trickle. But that's not the only choice and being LESS harmful indicates that it IS harmful, just less than something else. But that something else is one of the top 3 most harmful things to a li battery, so saying another thing is less harmful doesn't tell us much.

If trickle is x and depletion is y, all this tells us is that 0 < x < y < 1 on % damage potential. It doesn't indicate how far apart any of those points between 0 and 1 are. What we can infer is only the information in the paragraph above this one.

TLDR trickle DOES degrade the battery and therefore is harmful. And this link therefore agrees with the rest of the industry on that point, even if it does so accidentally.
