Yes, Chargie C Basic will work well with iPhone 14 Pro Max.

My bit over 2 year old Redmi Note 8 T shows hardly any battery degradation thanks to charge limiting. I have hardly ever charged to 100% and if the weather is warm the app suspends charging if the battery temperature goes above 35 degrees Celsius.
My older Huawei tablet has also been charged using the Chargie and that is also at virtually zero battery degradation.
My much older Moto G5 also has a battery which is in very good condition thanks to the Chargie stick and app.
Wonderful devices. Well done.

because of the mechanical issues that would appear when you stumble upon it.

yes

I assume using the factory fast charger that only outputs to 5 volts and 3 amp with Chargie A is fine, as the battery never goes above 36°C while charging?

It would be nice if you had a forum or Reddit community to discuss questions like this.

It’s not warm AFTER it’s charged. It’s literally hot WHILE it’s charging. And if it’s doing that while processing something, the heat is even more intense, and the charging current gets throttled by the phone. This damages the battery. If you keep it charged for a long time, that’s another type of damage (voltage stress).

Any charging electronics will reduce to the very low trickle current. Constant heating can only come from the processor or the sun.

I want to compare two devices, both with processor and display on. As a result, both are heated about the same. The only one difference should be

– cycling the battery 30/85% (with current 1…2A)

– hold on 100% (negligible current flows to the battery).

A other interesting question is (but not relevant for me, I use my traditional Chagies with a 1-A-charger from the beginning): The Chargie-App can stop/start charging on a configurable temperature. It should safe the battery life like Chagie C, isn’t it?

in theory, no, but in practice they do get warm to hot, because of the processor. Add that to the raising internal resistance and you get even more heat. For example, a 1yo iPhone 12 goes to 38-40 degrees constantly while being charged with a quick charger. Same thing happens to a OnePlus 7T from 2019 if you use the original Warp charger. In my latest experiments, battery damage was clear after long road trips where Waze continually heated up the battery up to 45 degrees C. Chargie does everthing it can to reduce heat application to the battery.
