    Isn’t higher current bad for battery longevity? How long will this thing last if you regularly charge it like that?

      I don’t think we have the stats yet, but it most likely will not increase the lifespan of the battery ;)

      My guess would be something like 500 cycles, which would roughly translate to 1-2 years, until the battery degrades noticeably.

      You can potentially split the battery into multiple cells so that you don’t charge them with the full voltage (if I understood correctly what OnePlus introduced some years ago). But still, that’s a lot. And potentially a lot of heat you have to disperse as well.
