I was just thinking if you are on your computer anyway would it just use some of the excess electricity that your computer would have wasted or would it be worse than charging your phone from a charger while using your laptop separately.

    If you’re bothered about overall waste, consider that some batteries degrade slower if you charge slower. I tend to prefer a slow charger when i can.

      I remember seeing an experiment saying that the difference is negligible. Even if it isn’t, it’s far more important to keep your battery between 20 and 80 percent at all times.
