TL;DW: Fast charging over 2 years only degraded the battery an extra 0.5%, even on extremely fast charging Android phones using 120W.

And with that, hopefully we can put this argument to rest.

Battery lore has been cargo-cult woo since the NiMH days... most of it feels like manufacturers saying "oh, I'm sorry you didn't get our advertised life, you must have done something wrong."
