Wireless Charging Advantages, Benefits & FAQs | Logitech

Phone batteries charge the same, whether power is coming over a cable or wirelessly. Your phone prevents its battery from being overcharged regardless of the power source. Just as with a cable, it’s safe to wirelessly charge your phone overnight and charging will stop once your battery is full.

The lithium-ion battery inside your phone naturally degrades over time, regardless of if it’s changed over a cable or wirelessly. This degradation means your phone will hold less charge over time. Battery health can be prolonged by limiting the number of charge cycles — the number of times a battery goes from 0 to 100% — and by keeping your battery between 50 - 80%.

Wireless chargers make “snack charging” or “top-ups” more convenient by allowing you to effortlessly place your phone on a charging pad or stand for a few minutes as you go about your daily routine. Instead of allowing your phone to fully drain throughout the day and recharge to 100% overnight, consider more frequent “power snacks” to keep your battery in that optimal, 50 - 80% zone.

Yes. The phone doesn’t differentiate between receiving power over a cable vs. wirelessly. Just as you may use your phone while it’s plugged in, you may also use your phone while charging wirelessly.

A benefit of Logitech POWERED Stand and 3-in-1 Dock is that your phone is placed upright you can both charge and watch videos or make calls at the same time.

It’s expected, and safe, for your phone to heat up when placed on a wireless charger. This is a natural result of electricity being converted to a magnetic field, transmitted wirelessly to your phone, and having your phone convert that field back into power.

Phones monitor their internal temperature and request less power if they get too warm. Qi-enabled phones such as Apple or Samsung safely allow up to 35 degrees Celsius (95F). Logitech POWERED has a secondary temperature gauge that measures every few seconds to ensure things are running safely.

You simply place your Apple AirPods inside a wireless charging case and then on the Logitech POWERED charging pad. It will automatically begin to transmit power. There are no settings or changes necessary to enable wireless charging.
