I received one of those plates that plugs into a wall outlet that has 2 USB charging ports. One of the ports has “2.4” embossed next to it. The other one doesn’t. From doing a little research, the “2.4” means that this port has a 2.4-amp output.
As far as I know, my charging cables are standard iPhone charging cables. I don’t own an iPad. I do have a couple of aftermarket charging cables that I’m sure were made to support both the iPhone and iPad, but I don’t remember if they stated on the packaging the charging rate they support.
So, my questions are, will standard iPhone charging cables “quick-charge” my iPhone when plugged into that 2.4A port, and, if more current is being delivered at a faster rate, will it damage or degrade my battery?
What about quick-chargers for vehicles? The ones I’m using are dongles that plug into the 12V car outlet and use the standard iPhone cable. One is old and the charge rate seems slow. The other is a port that is built into my radar detector power plug and it’s also very slow. I’m thinking about getting one of the quick-charger dongles, but it’s expensive (around $25) for a Charger, so I don’t want to waste $ on it if it’s not actually going to charge at a faster rate.
Phone is an iPhone 6S. Battery is about a year old and shows 92% of original performance on the batt. health meter.
