Do ions that have larger charges tend to produce a more negative lattice energy than ions with smaller charges?

Relevant answers:

What has a larger negative charge a nitrate ion or a nitrite ion?
A nitrate ion and nitrite ion have the same charge of -1. The difference between the two ions is that nitrates formula is NO3 while nitrites formula is NO2.
Do large ions tend to produce a more negative value for lattice energy than smaller ions do?
Okay to be honest, I'm not entirely sure, but I think its false because the larger the positive or negative charge of the ion, the greater lattice energy it has.According to the answers of similar...
An ion that has a negative charge?
Chloride would be a negative ion in sodium chloride dissolved in water.
What would be the charge on a negative ion?
Depends on the ion. Chloride = Cl- and hence would be -1 .Sulfate would be SO42- and would be -2 etc.
Ion with a negative charge?
anion..
