Does fast charging destroy your battery?

Fast charging is becoming a standard feature on smartphones, laptops, and other gadgets. It's very convenient because it lets you charge your device in less time than you would usually have to wait.

But as much as fast charging is impressive and convenient, people ask if it has any negative effects on battery life And if fast chargers bad for your phone? In this blog we’ll look at that question!

Fast charging is a feature that allows you to charge your device in less time than it would typically take. Whether your phone or other device supports fast charging comes down to whether it includes a fast charging circuit.

Your device can only allow power that the charging circuit was designed to handle. That's why connecting your device to a fast-charging brick will not really make it charge any faster. Fast charging makes it easier to top up your battery every time you feel a need to boost.

Smartphone companies have come up with other ways to reduce the impact of the fast charging phase (this is when your battery is lower and the fast charging is active then as your device gets fuller the speed of the current reduces down to trickle charging) on the battery by using a dual-battery design. This way, the two batteries share the high input load during the fast-charging phase to preventing damage.

Another preventative feature is the different battery management software systems. Smartphones have a dedicated management system for tracking charging, preventing the battery from being damaged by a high input charge. Apple's optimized battery charging is a great example of this.

Basically, how well your phone's battery management software shows whether fast charging damages your battery or not.

In conclusion, fast charging won't impact your battery life in an extreme way. All in all a battery life span depends on several different factors such as the weather where you live or where your phone constantly is, how much/often you use and charge your phone, what type of applications your run on your device and so much more. However, fast charging shouldn’t be one of your top fears when it comes to your battery health.
