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.

I hadn't watched the video yet, but my phone's going the opposite way. It run slow charge overnight when it feels like it's going to be enough for it to be fully charged the next morning.

We really should let electronics and tight software take care of these little things.

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
