Comment on Is there any reason not to charge my laptop with a USB C phone charger?
Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 1 day agoSee I worried about this with my phones for a while, but then I realized I’m literally just doing the job of a charge controller for the phone which only cost about $300, and by the time any wear might show up from enjoying the fast charge capabilities I’ll have already have switched to a newer phone since I tend to upgrade every 2-3 years

Batteries have a logarithmic degradation of capacity, meaning using the quick charge function will cause the capacity to drop about 10-15% really quickly, likely within the first year. So dumping the phone in 3 years is likely right when you hit the shallow part of the curve and the battery stops degrading much.
