Comment on Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones

  As humorous as this sounds, this is not at all how battery chemistry works.

  Some chemistry just charge faster than others.

  for the common types of Lion or Lipo batteries, they max out pushing 2C which is around 30 minutes.

  For something like LTO, where you lose capacity/density, you can get that up to like 4C (very rough numbers here as this all depends on the temperature of the battery while charging, age and other factors).

  So like… this could have been accurate if this was referring to switching to LTO, but afaik, no one makes LTO batteries in this form-factor (not that it can’t be done though).

    So put in a big-ass battery and artificially block it at 20% for “full”? 😁

  I’ve been a “Pro” user for as long as they’d had that distinction vs. lower end and the “it’s a small tablet” size.
