Charger - what can you recommend?

If u understand right on the review there is no charger with it.

What type of charger is recommended to buy fastcharger or Normal standard charger

With what watt for charging? Will be sure my battery hold long

Not sure if eny other asked the same question before

Now that all chargers are USB PD it doesn’t really matter. Phone will take care of battery during charge anyway.

All you can do is not to charge (native limit support in SFOS) or discharge fully.

Yes but example OnePlus use the 40w for fast charging some need slowr charging etc but il try it out when the phone come

Some elektronic overheating battery if it getting charged too fast top

Nothing needs a slower charger. The phone will draw the wattage it is designed to draw for decades now.

I charge everything that doesn’t charge wirelessly with 96 watt MacBook chargers for about a decade now.

I think I saw 33W in the box of j2 specifically. That is considered normal/slow these days.

This has been asked many times before (mostly for other phones) - and presumably all over the internet, with the same result.

There is no such thing as a “too fast charger” (unless something is very poorly constructed - to the point of not being CE compliant).

It is also really a misnomer to call the USB power supplies we have nowadays chargers - al the charging circuitry is in the device. Thus the “charger” is really not very closely involved in how the battery is charged.

If I’ve understood correctly, the only thing we need to be careful about is ensuring that the USB charger we buy complies with the USB-PD standard ?

PS: I still believed in the urban myth about “too fast USB chargers” :face_with_peeking_eye:

Strictly speaking; not even that.

If you want the charging to go faster - yes, you want whatever USB-PD mode the phone can handle as its maximum. But just to charge at all, anything goes.

And before some battery optimization enthusiast comes after me - the fastest charging speed can still still be “too fast” for optimal battery longevity. However, the phone should be very much in control of that - a slow charger is a very crude workaround.

As far as I understood, charger must be ideally 45W or higher. Since it’s a phone, probably charger must support specifically 9V 5A, not 15V 3A.

I would also add for any “battery enthusiasts” to make terms with the fact that battery is a consumable and should be treated as such.
It’s fine if someone wants to make it his life’s mission for the battery to be 1% “healthier” after a decade, but using 40-50-60% of your phone’s capacity like it’s already heavily degraded and inconveniencing your life is not the solution. If anything I’d argue that if you are fine using a brand new phone like it has a degraded battery, you can at least enjoy it before it naturally and unavoidably reaches that state.

Batteries degrade even in shelf, they degrade as we use them, heat from using the phone does the same, and heat/cold from the environment does the same.

Everyone should do whatever they feel like, but please do not expect that a slow charged battery from 30 to 80% will have any meaningful difference compared to a regularly used battery after 5-10 years.

Batteries lasted more than 2 years before Apple introduced battery health and made everyone psychotic about batteries :smiley:

Why is that? (As in exactly 45W).
(Sounds like the phone in question caps out at ~30W).

This is not an unqualified must - but just in order to take full advantage of charging speed.
9v max on phones is indeed common - but there are probably exceptions.
(And again, for the benefit of others, the capability to deliver a higher voltage will not harm anything - it just won’t be used).

Well, I have OnePlus 12 for 21 months, charging with 50-80W (depending on the phase of the moon or whatever their charger complying with).
There was 452 arithmetic cycles or 645 wear-calculated-cycles. Battery health is still 96%.

This is from Dimensity 7100 specs, because I don’t see official details from Jolla on this regard

Well, saving battery makes sense if the phone is sealed, which is not a case with Jolla Phone.
But even then – to not overheat and to not regularly charge from 90% to 100% is mostly enough.

I’m planning to use my phone like everything else and enjoy all the convinces I can get out of it. I have kids to babysit, a phone battery is not in my priorities!
And hey, if j1 battery still runs fine after such a huge “misuse” after 12 years, I think I’ll be fine :slight_smile:

Ps. What really matters from my experience is to have parts available in the long run. The rest are not so important, excluding HW defects ofc.

Indeed, i’d much rather not worry at all and maybe replace the battery once, than live by the battery health.

So, since any good charger will be good, why not a color match?

Unfortunately Orange 35W is out of stock.
(Accessory collab idea?)

USB-PD
5.0V/9.0V=3.0A, 12.0V=2.9A, 15.0V=2.33A, 20.0V=1.75A

PPS (Programmable Power Supply)
5.0-11.0V=3.0A, 5.0-16.0V=2.3A

No idea if the quality matches what their ambition level looks like, but i’m grabbing one (in black) to find out.

Inari Blue with blinking Jolla logo would create a certain appeal…
