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.

    It is, but phone manufacturers know this and already programmed their charging circuits to take it into account.

    But if you’re using 18650 cells or some other lithium based battery for other purposes (vapes for example), it’s something to keep in mind.
