From the test results in the earlier link. I'm using a power bank capable of outputting 29W. But I'm only getting result near to 12W. I believe normal lightning + converter is the bottleneck. Still need USB-C to lightning to get full potential. However the difference between 29W and 12W is not night and day. So it's still cheaper to get maybe a better USB-C converter to pair with original lightning cable.

You need powerbank and power adapter with PD (Power Delivery) capability to fast charge iphone 8/X. Plus the lightning to USB-C cable. Those cable are slightly thicker than normal USB-A cable. Need it for power current transfer.

Guess what, my phone on the stand of my Baseus charger for my reading, am about to leave office, guess what's my battery percentage?

100%, do I need to remember to charge? No, that's the beauty of wireless charging, slow is good at times, the phone is totally not hot. If you need fast charge then go wired, if you need convenient go wireless. It is coming to 4 weeks with X, 90% of my time is wireless charging.

Which means you arent using your phone as much compared to those who need fast charge. I want to be able to use my phone whenever I want to.

Yea I got a bunch of adapters I’m not sure how to check lol unless I’m gonna test on everyone sweat.gif I’m sure there’s a way to check 5W or 12W right?
*
Look at your adapter. Should have info on it. 5W means 5V/1A while 12W means 5V/2.4A.

One of the adapter says 2.5A 250 V sweat.gif should be the one from Ipad (air 1)

That should be the input. Look at the output.

Should still be doing 5V/2.4A which is 12W if it is an ipad charger.

I saw there's one come with 4 USB port and 1 USB-C.

USB-C with PD capability? Not many adapter with USB-C PD available right now. If it doesnt say PD then it is most likely a normal USB-C.

But fast charging might degenerate your battery at a rate similar to overnight slow charging if the fast charging is causing heated battery.

Its all come down to if you need to use your phone alot or not. For heavy users, having fast charge enable them to use their phone whenever they want to. For casual user that their phone batt can last them from morning until night, slow charging is fine. The adapter will stop charging when it is 100%. Will continue charging and discharge.

Anyway, you probably gonna be changing to new phone before your batt gone bad. Why bother ourselves with small matter like this. Should just enjoy our device to its fullest. Its like people who use true black on IPX just to save some batt life. Why not appreciate the oled beauty by using great looking wallpaper instead of dull black unless you love black theme ofc.

Totally agree. I am very much happy with my iPad charger. U can definitely feel the difference in term of speed. Not point wasting money. If really wants fast charge, I recommend to buy the iPad adapter only. Much much cheaper and comparable speed
*
Any adapter which capable of 5V/2.4A will be the same as ipad charger. Doesnt really need ipad charger. It is expensive still compared to other charger which capable of delivering 12W.

wireless charging from 50% at 11:09AM till now 12:09AM already 1hour, now already 83% feel like faster than when i use my s8 to charge with the samsung latest "Fast Charging" leather pad
finish charging to 100% at 1:19PM
*
So it takes 2 hours from 50% to 100%. I dont see any point of using it tho compared to normal wireless charging. Like if you just want slowly topup your batt in office for example, using wireless charger of 5W is enough. While if you want fastest charging might as well plug in to PD charger. 1 hour 30 minutes from 0% until 100%. Just my opinion.
