those are amps, not watts. It's at ~5V, so watts are 5x higher. Fixed the unit.

| Nov 27, 2015 at 21:40 | comment | added | Izzy | @hexafraction I saw it and upvoted it. I'm afraid we're drifting into a theoretical/technical area the OP had no intention to. Reading it again in the context of our comments, the question is most likely "will it cause harm to the battery". I'll update my answer accordingly. | |
| Nov 27, 2015 at 20:09 | comment | added | nanofarad | @SnakeDoc Sorry, I pinged the wrong user. I was meaning to address Izzy (author of this question) in regard to their last comment. | |
| Nov 27, 2015 at 19:50 | comment | added | SnakeDoc | @hexafraction I meant a "pass-through" (or better yet, bypass) in the sense that the battery is not required to power the phone. If you remove the battery, but leave the charger plugged in, the phone will continue to operate. Obviously there it has circuitry to directly power the phone regardless if a battery is present or not. | |
| Nov 27, 2015 at 18:00 | comment | added | nanofarad | @SnakeDoc There really isn't a concept of "pass-through" in most battery setups. Either current is moving "into" the battery in the mode in which it does work to result in increased chemical energy in the cell (net charge) or it's moving "out" of the cell (net discharge). It's not like a single battery cell has multiple cathode and anode connections, so it could be charging into one point and discharging out the either simultaneously. The only "round trip" power might make is down-regulation from 5V to battery charging voltage back up to voltage needed to run core/etc). | |
| Nov 27, 2015 at 17:41 | comment | added | Izzy | If consumption is higher than feed, the "battery will take a hit". And as you correctly stated, @SnakeDoc, whether power is "passed through" depends on design; I doubt a generic answer to that is possible, so I've skipped that part. Maybe I should have explicitly stated? | |
| Nov 27, 2015 at 17:36 | comment | added | SnakeDoc | This doesn't really answer the question of "does it use battery or pass-through from the charger when the charger cable is plugged in". And the answer is, it depends on how that particular phone was designed. Although I presume most use a pass-through and then trickle charge the battery with whatever is left over - as you can pull the battery out of the phone and it will run just fine from the charger cable. | |
