Charging FAQs
Why slower charging preserves battery life?
High-current charging generates heat, accelerating lithium-ion degradation according to Battery University research.
How calculate watt-hours from mAh?
Wh = (mAh × V) ÷ 1000. Most smartphones use 3.7V batteries.
Does fast charging reduce capacity?
Yes. Repeated fast charging can decrease capacity by 10-15% annually.
Optimal charging temperature range?
16°C to 22°C (60°F to 72°F) per U.S. DOE recommendations.
