Magsafe charger as bedside charger

[eclipse01]

Should I not use this as a "bedside" charger? I don't really care about the fast charge since I will just hope its charged in the morning, but i keep reading that fast charging is bad for the battery.

Don't do it! I'd definitely cause a fire hazard as temps reach 45°C when charging. Unfortunately, the Magsafe puck doesn't work with USB-A Non-PD charger so you're pretty much stuck with fast charging.

i have used mine with an 18w ipad pro plug and in the morning it’s only slightly warm. though i went back to my anker qi charger with an internal fan for overnight charging. my 12 pro and the charger are completely cool when i get up. i have to think this is better for the battery.

Have stuck a MagSafe on my headboard.

I agreed... the pucks that I'll be returning generated too much heat that I am afraid to charge over night... let alone sticking it on my headboard overnight...

I have been using mine on my bedside table but from tonight am not going to. Not for the heat thing but because I can’t stand that you need two hands to get your phone off the damn thing! I can sometime prise it off using a finger on the cable but even then the “puck” slides across the table. No, I’m just going to use it when I travel (not so much nowadays) and go back to my Nomad charging dock.

Double sided tape does the trick, i personally use the ones that come with command strips

What sleep with a phone charging within inches of your head? Not a wise thing to do to be honest. It’s cool it sticks to the wall etc but not used like that.
