My wife’s phone dies every. single. day. and I don’t know why she doesn’t just charge it at night.
I’m just wondering how people live like this 😅

It doesn’t matter when you got a fast-charge phone.
This mindset is so frustrating. My fiancee and I will have a discussion like do you want to go do _______. We decide to go, and now ensues the I need to let my phone charge some before we go. Waiting ~30 minutes before leaving to go somewhere is very disadvantages.
Charge your phone in your vehicle on the way
My bicycle does not have a phone charger.
I simply charge it while I get ready in the morning. I can charge in the car or via a powerbank if I really don’t have time.
30 min is not really “fast” charging. Assuming 0%-100% on a 4Ah battery, that’s just 30W.
Also, you don’t fast charge to 100%. The idea is to get more like +50% in a few minutes. Assuming 4Ah battery again, that’s +2Ah which is 7.4 Wh at 3.7V.
You won’t charge from 0% though. You’re probably still well over 25% before you start charging but let’s say you’re at 25%. With 60W, you’d be at 75% in 7.5 min.
That’s fast charging and why it’s useful: Those 75% will last you through the day and it took you <10 minutes to reach it.
What’s frustrating is not fast charging, it’s that your charging speed simply isn’t very fast.
Fast charging decreases the lifetime of your battery compared to traditional charging. It’s not a huge difference anymore (maybe 3% or something), but traditional charging isn’t that inconvenient considering you’re not using your phone while you sleep, anyway.
