    Wouldn’t that wear out the battery faster?

    Faster charging means more heat, which means more ware on the battery?

      I had to get a new battery for my OP6T after using it for over 5 years - exclusively charging it using the fast charger. I’m sure that I can get another 3 years out of this phone, at the very least.

      The battery + replacement service fee was around 40 USD.

      I don’t expect much more from the battery TBH.

      How long are you gonna keep a phone tho? 3 - 4 years? A fast-charged battery will be fine for that time span.

      I own a 4yr old xiaomi. Still great, 8gb RAM, yada, yada… 4 years charging at turbo (33w I think, there are 100w phones now, I think). Still a day+ charge. Good enough for me for a 4 year old phone
