Does fast charging kill your smartphone battery?

Chargers for mobile equipment 18, 36, 50, 65 and even 100 watts have appeared on the market! Naturally, buyers have a question - fast charging kills the battery of a smartphone or not.

 

The quick and accurate answer is NO!

Fast charging does not damage the battery of mobile equipment. And that's great news. But not for everyone. After all, this statement only applies to certified Quick Charge chargers. Fortunately, counterfeits on the market are becoming less common, since most smartphone manufacturers offer to buy branded chargers for their equipment.

 

Does fast charging kill your smartphone battery?

 

The question itself is not stupid. Indeed, at the dawn of mobile devices running on Windows Mobile and the first versions of Android, there were problems. On the network, you can still find photos of inflated or broken batteries that simply could not withstand the increased current. But the situation changed radically when Apple decided to implement fast charging technology for the phone. The rest of the brands pulled up immediately. The result is the recent announcement by the Chinese of a 100 Watt PSU.

All thanks for answering the main question (Does fast charging kill the smartphone's battery?) Can be addressed to OPPO. A well-known manufacturer of mobile equipment has conducted laboratory tests and officially announced its results to the whole world. Studies have shown that even after 800 discharge and charge cycles, the smartphone battery retained its capacity. And the efficiency of work (in terms of time) remained unchanged. That is, the owner will have enough for 2 years of active use of the phone.

The tests involved OPPO smartphones with a 4000mAh battery and a 2.0W SuperVOOC 65 charger. It is not known how the batteries of other smartphones will behave. After all, brands have slightly different technologies. But we can say for sure that the representatives of the middle and Premium segment will definitely not upset us.
