    The article literally says fast charging degrades your battery faster

      “Further, many phones are now programmed to shut off power once the battery is full, even if it remains plugged in.”

      Quoting the article they linked for you. Since you seem to have either missed this important bit or are being pedantic. Unless your phone is 10 years old, it won’t.

        That has literally nothing to do with the topic at hand

        Maybe not useful, but-

        I use a setting on my phone that doesn’t let it charge past 80%. It still charges at 78% tho.

  When I plug my phone in at night, it slow chargers itself to 100% up until my first alarm.

  Battery degradation is caused by extreme temperatures right? There is no way a fast charger will make your phone warm enough to cause any meaningful damage. (80% confidence)

    Extreme temperatures AND high C (coulomb) rates. Not really a problem on most smart phones. But you’d have to charge from 0-100% in under 20 minutes (above 3 coulomb) for that to become a real problem
