  • One YouTuber ran a series of three tests over 2 years involving 40 phones to test the differences in between health between various charging habits.
  • The tests included comparing fast and slow charging, only charging phones to 80%, and more.
  • The conclusion is that fast charging does not negatively affect battery health, but keeping a phone charged between 30-80% could potentially provide better long-term health.
