  • you cannot recycle li ion batteries “normally”. you should remove the battery from the phone and dispose of it as soon as possible. best buy, target, and some other techy stores take them, so call around. phone repair shops should also be able to help. a conductive container is also a bad idea. airtight plastic is the way to go if you’re that concerned about it, however once it’s removed from the device you can realistically keep it in any nonconductive container and you’ll be fine.












  • yep! it’s just less efficient than wired charging and whatever is lost in the process is turned into heat, which is particularly poor for your battery. batteries are consumables anyways and it seems like most people get it replaced at least once in a phones lifespan, so it doesn’t really matter if you’re ok with that. from my experience fixing phones over the years I can definitely confirm that using wireless charging consistently, particularly if you’re doing anything intensive at the same time, will lower the lifespan of your battery significantly.
