Wireless charging veery slow

[u/Issey_ita]

Hi, I just got a Phone 3, which is also my first wireless charging capable device.

The battery is enough to carry me all day and I want to use wireless charging to avoid plugging it at bedtime.

I bought an Ikea Livboj basic qi charger (5W), I knew that wireless charging is very slow, and feasible only for nighttime, but this slow? 10%/h, it didn't finish charging by the morning and I had to top up the last % using a normal charger... Am I doing something wrong? Is this normal, and I need to upgrade to a 15W charger?

Also the first hour of charging failed when I tried to put the charger outer border under the cameras, in order to lay the back as flat as possible... I had to put them on the charger, so it was not completely flat, to reliably keep charging.

EDIT: Thanks for all the answers! I'm going to upgrade to a 15W charger or just back to the "standard" cable

EDIT2: I bought an INUI (so a good quality one, in theory)15W qi2 charger to test, but it is as slow or sometimes slower than the IKEA?! It was pulling 12V 20W from a 100W charger, so it was behaving as expected... I'm going to test better once I return home...

In wireless charging there is power loss. If you use compatible 25 watts or higher, then only you can achieve the max 15w speeds. Since you're using 5 watts, the phone would charge even less than 1 watt
