After 2 years and 3 months my pixel 6 got too hot one too many times while charging and using and the battery expanded. Now I replaced it and got a pixel 8.
Now I don’t want that to happen again. I know this chip gets hot when charging. And I don’t mind slow charging at all, I’m used to overnight charging.
With my current setup I got a 20w cable charger and a 10w wireless one, and I want to know how to get even slower, less heating charging rates. What adapter brand is reputable, and is the slowest, battery friendliest that’s still reasonable for use… If this phone also just lasts me 2 years instead of the 5 that I’m gonna get os updates I’m gonna be mad… I’m okay with a battery replacement in general after a while but that isn’t really doable if the entire case is bent like it is on my P6…
Fast charging dumps more heat into the battery as efficiency losses are always heat. Heat is what degrades the battery, far more than charge cycling.
Tq. that’s a very logical explanation. So I assume (current) fast charging battery management are not capable to mitigate the efficiency issues.
