Hello all. Recent refugee from a Galaxy S3 here, and new slave to a Droid Turbo.
So far so good, almost... took me two days to figure out how to answer the dang phone but I think I have that solved. I need to dig in to some stuff, but I have a very basic question meanwhile:
Can a battery charge TOO slowly? My Turbo is in an Otterbox Defender case, and due to the charging port flap looking a tad like it might not want to be flexed every night or every other night for maximum longevity, I invested in an inexpensive Qi charger. It does charge right away, and keeps charging, but very slowly, about 10% per hour. This is not a thing because I can leave it overnight, but I wonder if it's bad for it.
My guess is that it is NOT, and here's why: I have a friend who has a gas / plug-in electric hybrid car, and when he looked into getting the 240V home charger, the consensus was "Don't do it - if your battery pack will charge overnight at 120V, stay with that because charging a battery rapidly will decrease the life of the battery." I can't remember if it would decrease the number of cycles available or the amount of charge it would take, but apparently it was a Thing.
So: slow = good, or at least not bad?
Thanks in advance.
