Sep 19, 2018 at 19:29 comment added Bimpelrekkie does fastcharging to 70% affect the battery life like slowcharging to 100%? There is no clear "do X and get battery life Y" relations, so your question is unanswerable. You would have to test and measure it under controlled conditions. If you want longest battery life: charge slow but often. Keep the charge level between 40% and 80%. But it also depends on many other factors, some of which are chosen for you by the manufacturers of phones and batteries.
Sep 19, 2018 at 19:23 comment added Bimpelrekkie Why should charging continue? Because the battery isn't full yet. If you fast charge and that increases the voltage at the battery connections to 4.3 V (then you're doing something wrong but anyway) then you cannot rely on that 4.3 V. So charging should stop for a moment and then the battery voltage should be measured. If it is lower than 4.3 V then charging can continue.
Sep 19, 2018 at 19:04 comment added neverMind9 Didn't you say that or have I misunderstood something? Sorry for confusion.
Sep 19, 2018 at 10:32 comment added Bimpelrekkie No, charging should not stop Why?
Sep 19, 2018 at 10:21 comment added neverMind9 Charging to 70% instead of 100% does extend the battery life expectancy, but does fastcharging to 70% affect the battery life like slowcharging to 100%?.
Sep 19, 2018 at 10:21 comment added neverMind9 No, charging should not stop. My question was whether the battery wears out equally as fast whether 70% 4.3V (charging) or 100% 4.3V (not charging).
Sep 19, 2018 at 9:18 comment added Bimpelrekkie While charging at high speeds while at 70%, the voltage can be 4.3VOK, so then charging should stop as 4.3 V means that the battery is full. Do you agree? I disagree, what would be my reasoning for disagreeing?

Sep 19, 2018 at 6:27 comment added Bimpelrekkie Does charging (70%) at 4.3V At 70% charge level the battery voltage is not 4.3 V. You should forget about "terminal voltage", what matters is the battery voltage. Under normal circumstances both voltages are the same. If they're not you're not using the battery properly. An ageing battery will only have a decreased capacity (some if it was lost) and an increased internal resistance. fast charging to 70% equals charging to 100% for battery lifespan That statement makes no sense to me.
Sep 18, 2018 at 22:55 comment added neverMind9 By that I meant: Does capacity matter at all for battery age, or only terminal voltage? If the latter is true, fast charging to 70% equals charging to 100% for battery lifespan.
Sep 18, 2018 at 22:11 comment added neverMind9 What about higher voltages? Does charging (70%) at 4.3V or not charging (100%) at 4.3V wear the battery more?
Sep 18, 2018 at 22:05 comment added neverMind9 “1) You should NEVER short a charged Li-Ion based battery.” I know that. I just asked hypothetically.
