Teric battery: To "quick charge" or not? That is the question....

[BoatingDave]

The Teric has a "quick charge" feature that allows faster charging of the battery. Is it better for the long-term health of the battery to usually keep this option "off" and quick charge only when necessary? Or is is OK to always quick charge and only turn it off if you have a non-compliant (third party) charger?

Thanks

Hi, @BoatingDave . Your second scenario is correct. It is ok to always quick charge whenever you have a capable power source. Cheers

@Shearwater - Please add some more clarity, for me, about "capable power source".

What is the recommended output range for a wall power charger to use with the wireless charging doc that comes with the Teric? Or, what is a output range for a compliant charger?

Thanks in advance,

Tony

Hi, Tony.
For Teric charge dock, a USB adapter (5V) of 0.5A capacity is sufficient for standard charge. 1A or higher capacity is recommended if fast charging is used.
