Dashboard Phone Charger - MagSafe compatible (TWRAPS)

[twraps]

Here's the thing though; my observation is that heating slows the charging so much that you may get faster results with a cold 15w than a hot 25w. I don't have strict testing, but observations of the phone saying it has stopped charging due to heat, very often in summer. I prefer to KNOW that the phone will be charged in an hour than wonder if it will be charged in 20 minutes, or 60, or 120, or not at all.

Of course, the whole thing with getting them from China is a huge valid challenge.

My thinking was the same but I actually tested with a USB-C power meter... I was consistently getting better results with the 25W charger. In all fairness those tests were not very scientific, covering every possible scenario etc. Also, come to think of it, I was testing with my iPhone 17 which has a different cooling system than previous gens, so older phones may give different results...I am not sure. In any case, if a peltier cooling option comes in 25W in the future, I will likely migrate to that, at the very least it always felt really cool (like magic) to grab your phone and feel the cold spot on the back

You *think* you live in a place that is hot.

You have not tried this in July in Phoenix.

LOL

Another benefit of the 17 is that charging no longer matters. I'm getting at least 50% more life, so charge time is less, and charge need is less. I was just camping for days without caring when I charged.

My record was 116 @ Grand Canyon... once you step out of the car, it feels like you have a thousand space heaters blowing at you, but you can't step away from them

Is this the same magnet as the last design?
Just asking cause I saw some Q&A on the page saying it works well only with a MagSafe case, while your last design works great with my Pixel 9 + a metal plate in a case.

Also is this a single piece design now? (Besides the ball mount)
My only quip with the last design was the arm was separate from the "base", and the one I bought in August had the tiniest bit of wiggle which was solved with a piece of scotch tape in the gap. Otherwise I've loved the previous mount so far, just considering upgrading to get a bit more rigidity.

Thanks!

I received mine. The installation took about 10 minutes, super easy. Kit was shipped right away after ordering and the quality of the items are really good. I've tried several phone mounts and this is by far the best one. I think the price is good considering how good this mount is, and even better because I took advantage of the TWRAPS Black Friday discount. Highly recommend this product.

Sorry for the late response, somehow I've missed this!
No, we no longer use the older chargers, these are completely new thing - new case, new magnets, new PCB, new coils and cords etc...

Received my new one just the other day, sure is robust compared to the previous design, love it!
