Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones (www.youtube.com)

TL;DW: Fast charging over 2 years only degraded the battery an extra 0.5%, even on extremely fast charging Android phones using 120W.

And with that, hopefully we can put this argument to rest.

My phone tells me every night that it's slow charging and it will be full by [the time I have my alarm set for].

Pixel 8 Pro.

iPhones do this as well, I assume both will also do it without the alarm as mine has simply learned what time I take it off the charger normally.

That works if you have a correct sleep schedule… this feature only enabled like 20 times in my life, and half the time it disabled itself because I used my phone during the night
