Living with Nillkin Wireless Charging Pad
I have a bad habit: I charge everything at night, take it out the next day, and only plug it in again when I get home the following evening.
Day after day, over and over.
Thanks to this stupid habit, my battery-life requirement when buying anything is “lasts a day.”
The Nexus 6 has a decent-sized battery, but its endurance isn’t great — probably the price of that 2K screen.
It used to be that the Nexus 6 lasted exactly one day for me, including the evening run on the way home. But lately, the Moto 360 and a string of Android Wear updates have been eating into my phone battery more and more. Staring at the Bluetooth power draw in Batterystatus, I felt a bit helpless. At that point you’d get home with 20% left, barely enough for the run afterward. Which meant I had to find something to charge the phone with at work — and for someone with a “one charge a day” compulsion, that’s a real itch.
So I wondered: does everyone else just leave their phone plugged in whenever there’s a charger around? I asked on G+ and found that most people do. Since the Nexus 6 has always been on wireless charging at home, with a Lumia Qi pad, I figured I’d just get another wireless charging pad.
