As I understand it the charging pad in our cars is a QI certified model, and shouldn't by itself reduce battery capacity of the phones it charges, but heat does kill the batteries and I'm frequently encountering situations where my iPhone 12 Pro Max overheats when using it with Wireless Carplay on the charging pad. Battery Health reports that I'm down to 89% Maximum Capacity on my less than a year old device. I'm just curious if others are experiencing similar issues when making use of the car's charging pad.
It probably doesn't help that I normally use a case on my phone, but it is an ultrathin TPU case that shouldn't contribute to the problem, but I'm going to start leaving it off the phone for now and see if this condition occurs as often after. It's also hot down here in Texas (let's face it, it's hot everywhere these days), but the pad is out of direct sunlight and I keep the car at 73F when I'm operating it. I'm considering switching to USB to Lightning cable charging instead, to see if that helps.
