Do you use super fast charging? Or do you prefer slower charging to prolong the battery longevity?

Do you use super fast charging on your phone, it's possible that super fast charging can significantly reduce battery longevity, also factors like overcharging will also have similar effects over time? Or are you precautions and use older slower chargers even though you have a phone which can use fast charging technology

I have a Pixel with wireless charging so battery life doesn't really matter to me. I just put the phone on the charge pad while sitting on my desk or at home and it never goes flat. Fast charge is only 10W though, not 40W as with the Oppo

the latest oppo charger is at 65w, which is rather high

I won't dig and link for the articles but there is much research to support charging your phone using a battery pack and not using fast charging as the best method for your battery. Also don't charge to 100 and run it all the way down to 1 or 2 percent - but I do that anyway.

depends on which phone, some third party batteries are a bit dodgy, others are decent, some phone retailers charge quite a bit for a new battery

Whilst I generally agree with this, on my Samsung phone I have deliberately gone into the battery settings and disabled fast charging. The phone lasts all day, charges all night, so fast charging is pointless. On the odd occasion I am out and about, at airport etc and needed a quick charge, its pretty easy to go into the settings and flick the fast charge on for that specific time only. So yeah, batteries are cheap and all, but at the same what I have done is hardly an inconvenience, so if it just helps keep it in better condition for that bit longer then great. But who knows, maybe it does fuck all.

Can I get it changed at Apple even though the device was bought second hand abroad.
In Taiwan they Said no, Service only for locally bought apples
