What are best charging practices & equipment for iPhone 7-Plus?
I just had a new OEM battery put in my old iPhone 7-Plus. I haven't had any big problems except as the battery was dying, I was always needing to help it with a Battery Block that I kept in my pocket.
My old way of life for years has been to plug it in as I went to sleep, into a USB adapter in the wall that says 5.0 Volt / 1.3 Amp.
Is that a bad thing to do? It seems like it didn't kill the battery too soon by letting it charge repeatedly to 100% and then stay connected for hours every night for years.
I have read that if I would instead charge that Battery Block (which holds about 4 phone charges) and use it to recharge the iPhone as I slept, that they're designed to stop charging the phone at 80%.
I just don't know if I have the patience to mess around like that. 😉
So, if I want to only charge the phone & I'm willing to do it when I'm awake and use the BATTERY app to tell me when it's been charged to whatever I set it at (80% or 90%?), what Watt Adapter would I want to get for my 7-Plus? The 110 Volt one of mine that I use the most says DC 5Volt-1.3Amp and it's pretty slow.
I've read that iPhone 8 starting having some Fast Charge setting but not my 7-Plus.
