Seasons greetings everyone, it’s Zachy here. I am purchasing the iPhone 16 Pro Max for the holidays, and along with that comes a MagSafe charger for me. I understand that slow charging your iPhone maximizes battery efficiency and capacity. So what power adapter wattage should I use with my MagSafe charger to ensure slow charging? I was planning on using the 20W power adapter provided by Apple.
Here it is!

Greetings,
I am not going to copy and paste an answer.
Instead, I will simply explain.
From my understanding of the technology, Li Ion (Lithium Ion) batteries are rechargeable.
Temperature affects capacity loss.
If you fast charge this type of battery, it will generate heat (as expected).
The problem with fast charging is that your device is actively running (using energy as it’s recharging).
If you avoid that and simply slow charge (overnight while you are sleeping) is a very effective method that I recommend.
I have built Li Ion batteries in a laboratory, but that’s as much as I am allowed to say.
There are other experimental rechargeable technologies in development, but they have limitations, such as size, weight, bulk and other factors.
I am not an expert in this field.
I can only share my opinion as a consumer of Apple products.

What is considered slow charging with MagSafe charger and iPhone 16 Pro Max?
