"Fast charging damages your battery." Myth or fact? ⚡🔋
❌ MOSTLY MYTH! Your phone is in charge: it asks the charger for power (USB PD) and only takes what the battery can safely handle.
⚡ Fast charging only happens when the battery is low (roughly 0–50 %). Near full, it slows right down to protect the battery.
🔥 The real enemy is HEAT:
✅ use a good, certified charger
✅ keep the phone cool — not on a pillow or under a blanket
❌ avoid cheap no-name fast chargers
📌 Fast is fine. Heat is not.
