With fast charging, the charger transfers more energy to your phone while charging. Transferring more energy means it takes less time to charge your phone. This is especially effective when your battery is almost empty. The charging speed decreases slightly as your battery gets fuller to protect your device. Therefore, fast charging is mainly suitable to quickly charge an almost empty battery so you can go some additional hours with power.
How much faster will my battery charge?
To state the obvious: fast charging is faster than normal charging. It is difficult to say exactly how much faster as it depends on several factors, such as the state of your battery, the manufacturer or temperature. iPhones for example have hard-coded safety limits that power down fast charging when the battery level reaches 80%.
Do you want to charge your phone as fast as possible? Make sure you place your phone in the middle of the wireless charger and plug the charger into the wall outlet rather than a USB port.
Samsung Fast Charge & Apple Fast Charge
Samsung and Apple use different methods for fast charging. Consequently, a Samsung fast charger works with a Samsung device. But it may not always work with an Apple iPhone or vice versa. Therefore, it is important to check if a wireless charger supports Samsung Fast Charge or Apple Fast Charge.
All our wireless chargers support both Apple and Samsung Fast Charge. Convenient if you were to switch to another brand. Or if family or friends have a different smartphone.
What the watt?
Watt (W) and wireless charging are often mentioned in the same sentence. But how many watt do you need? Is bigger always better or even necessary? This highly depends on the smartphone or device you want to charge.
In almost every case 10 watt will suffice for the fastest wireless charge. This will for instance fast charge your Samsung Galaxy device at maximum capacity (9W being the current capped maximum). For iPhones up to the iPhone 11 series, the maximum wireless charging power is capped at 7,5 watt. For the iPhone 12 series and up this is increased to 15W for the official Apple MagSafe charger only.
Safely fast charging
Qi sets the standard for safety when it comes to wireless chargers. The Qi certification is governed by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC). The WPC is a group of leading companies that cooperate in continuously defining, maintaining and developing the Qi standard for wireless charging.
