Yeah, timers cost money but I'm pretty paranoid about having to leave the house in an emergency and my phone not being fully charged. The six hour break ensures I'm not whoring my battery but it's pretty close to max without me having to think about it.Not a bad idea. I thought modern chargers had smart features to prevent overcharging and hurting the battery. I think one of the Samsung pads actually stopped charging when the phone was full and would only charge again if you picked it up and put it back down. I remember people complaining it did that in reviews it something. I don't think any of my Samsung pads (one first gen and one stand up fast charge) do that though. My dad has a second gen flat slow pad and that one might but I can't remember.
My battery life on my s7 is awful. I'm an extremely heavy user for things that keep the screen on like browsing articles or searching for jobs and what not (so Facebook and tapatalk) but lately I have to charge it a couple of times a day. If it's a day where I have to ride around a lot ( passenger not driver) I can be at 20% by noon easy.
