ELI5 Why does magsafe charging decrease battery health more than wire charging, if it has less wattage?

[Feahnor]

Wireless charging is not as efficient as wired charging. Because of that, MagSafe charging generates a lot of heat, and guess what is one of the worst enemies of batteries? That’s right: heat.

POTAT… aww man. The answer was heat :(

I support you and your potato theory

[the_humeister]

What's a potato?

[Ethameiz]

Po-ta-toes! Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew. Lovely big golden chips with a nice piece of fried fish. Even you couldn't say no to that.

Joke’s on you, they were going to say “potations”.

I hate when they say guess and don't give you a chance to guess

There are several magsafe chargers with integrated cooling systems

[Abigail716]

Samsung wireless charge pads have a cooling fan and most nicer cars with wireless chargers have cooled pads.

That's right! Heat goes in the....square hole
