Beware of the Impact of Fast Charging on Cellphones

Cellphone users who work a lot outdoors may feel very helped by fast charging technology that is now commonly found on large power phones.

So why is fast charging turned off?

Laman Phone Arena explains, charging a battery with fast charging does not immediately damage the cellphone, for example the cellphone becomes hot and then explodes. The impact of fast charging to the battery may be felt for a long time.

When charging with fast charging, the power needed to deliver electricity to the device is enlarged so that the charging time can be reduced. In the long run it will affect the cellphone hardware.

Moreover, if charging is done while playing games or applications, or the mobile is placed in a high-temperature room. In addition, there are also cellphone users who are accustomed to charging cellphones overnight because they are asleep, so maybe the fast charging feature is turned off if it is not needed.

Check cellphone settings

Some cellphone manufacturers provide fast charging features to be turned on or off. Usually, they put these settings in the "Battery" menu, then look for the "fast charging", "quick charge" or name chosen by each manufacturer for fast chargers.

Use an ordinary charger

If there is no option to turn off fast charging via cellphone, use an ordinary charger from an old cellphone that matches the mobile USB port. Check whether the charger is classified as regular, with power below 5 volts and 2 amperes.

Plug into a portable computer

Alternatively, connect the cellphone to a laptop or other device that can be used to charge.
