Just wanted to ask.

For those that use wireless charging on their device, will the extra heat caused by wireless charging cause any real battery degradation as time goes on?

I can tell that my Nexus 7 gets pretty warm when wirelessly charging, I checked my battery stats and it gets up to about 83+ degrees when wirelessly charging. Sometimes it's a bit less or more depending on if it's doing a long charge or just topping off. It's currently at 67% and I'm going to charge to full to see how high the temps get.

I know heat in general is bad for batteries and I know this wont cause any immediate problems at all, but do you think that my battery wont last as long in say, a years time, compared to if I were to just AC charge exclusively?

Thanks for any input.
