CONS: LIMITATIONS AND DISADVANTAGES OF FAST CHARGING TECHNOLOGY[br][br]1. Shortens the Lifespan of Lithium-Ion Batteries[br][br]One of the critical limitation or advantage of fast charging is that it expedites the optimum and usable life of lithium-ion batteries. Take note that these batteries have limited charge-discharge cycles. Their internal integrity starts to degrade upon reaching the maximum limit of the cycle until their charge capacities become noticeably restricted.[br][br]The problem with fast charging is that it can create a habit of heavy usage in which users do not mind using their devices extensively and draining their batteries in the process because they are easier to charge up again. Essentially, this habit accelerates the charge-discharge cycle of lithium-ion batteries.[br][br]2. Increases the Susceptibility to Overheating of a Device[br][br]Fast charging works either by allowing a higher level of currents or increasing the voltage flowing to the battery. Higher currents or greater voltage produces more internal heat. This is the reason why devices under fast charging usually heat up faster than normal charging. It is important to note that heat is detrimental to battery life. It is also critical to the performance and internal integrity of the entire device.[br][br]While there are failsafe mechanisms aimed at addressing susceptibility to overheating, constant exposure to relatively higher temperature than usual causes minuscule damages to the hardware components of both the battery and the device. Furthermore, a device can overheat while fast charging if it is placed in a hot and humid environment. Note that overheating causes specific damages to internal electronic components.[br][br]3. Dependent on Hardware Compatibilities[br][br]Remember that fast charging is an all-encompassing terminology for different technologies and standards for rapidly and efficiently charging batteries. Nevertheless, another disadvantage of fast charging is that there is no single protocol or standard that works for all devices.[br][br]Some types of fast charging only work with specific cables and chargers. It is also important to reiterate the fact the technology works either through higher current flows or higher voltage. What these mean is that the general fast charging technology has compatibility issues. A particular adaptive charger from Samsung will not effectively charge an iPhone capable of fast charge. Chargers for VOOC Flash Charging would not work with the Quick Charge from Qualcomm.[br][br][br]Thanks...{:16_21:}{:16_21:}{:16_21:}[br]
