Most battery friendly charging (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

After 2 years and 3 months my pixel 6 got too hot one too many times while charging and using and the battery expanded. Now I replaced it and got a pixel 8.

Now I don't want that to happen again. I know this chip gets hot when charging. And I don't mind slow charging at all, I'm used to overnight charging.

With my current setup I got a 20w cable charger and a 10w wireless one, and I want to know how to get even slower, less heating charging rates. What adapter brand is reputable, and is the slowest, battery friendliest that's still reasonable for use... If this phone also just lasts me 2 years instead of the 5 that I'm gonna get os updates I'm gonna be mad... I'm okay with a battery replacement in general after a while but that isn't really doable if the entire case is bent like it is on my P6...

Mind will be 6 years at the end this month and still going strong (considering its age). I make sure not to leave it charged at 100% for a long time. I've read through some article in lemmy not ago that not charging it more than 80% will improve its charging life cycle - doing this now.

My Samsung S21 has a feature called "Protect Battery" which limits the battery to only 85% so you never fully charge it to 100% and thus conserve the battery more. Since I can still get a full day of battery with only 85% (topping it off when using wired Android Auto in my car) this has worked well for me. Not sure how accurate it is, but Accubattery reports my battery health is still at 92% after 3 years
