Okay, so we all know the drill: fully charging and emptying your battery is bad as well as heat. We know as well that the original Framework power adapter supplys 60w but that the laptop can handle up to 100w. Maybe I am just stupid and charging at 100w automatically equals to more heat but having…

IIRC the battery will charge at most 60W even if you use a >60W charger. So no difference in battery degradation.

@feesh has it right as usual. The battery will charge at 60W maximum. If you use a 100W charger the rest of the laptop can use the extra power but the battery will still be charging at 60W (20V @ 3A) no matter what. It will allow the CPU/iGPU to boost while the battery is charging though.

Thanks a lot @Fraoch ! So if I understand you correctly with a 100W charger I might get an extra boost in performance and still charge the battery at the max 60W, while charging my phone through my laptop, but I won’t damage the battery or charge any faster than using a 60W charger?

[image] anon81945988: Having more power available is good for the charger as it isn’t pushed to the limit, if just charging, but as mentioned you can draw extra to run whilst charging. And you are right about heat. It is far more damaging that fully charging slowly. To that end charging at full…

Hey, so I am a little late to this thread but am looking at chargers for when I get my Framework laptop. Should I get a 20V 5A charger at 100W? Or will this type of charger lessen the lifespan of the battery? If that is the case, should I play it safe with a 20V 3A charger at 60W? If so would this A…

The best thing about USB power delivery is that it’s intelligent. The charger and the device can negotiate a rate to charge. If the device wants a lower power, the charger can supply that. So, for charging the battery, it may not use 100 watts. I’ve used 15,20, 25, 30, 45, and 60 watt chargers w…

Sorry for the lengthy post, but I am looking at chargers for when I get my Framework laptop. Should I get a 20V 5A charger at 100W? Or will this type of charger lessen the lifespan of the battery due to excess heat when charging that laptop while in use? If that is the case, should I play it safe wi…

@feesh Do not know where they stated this?
In the post about USB C charging they just said “yes we support USB-C Charging from most chargers up to 100W.”
So unsure, what that means…
