    I Just read it after answering to you!

          The heat from the wireless charging comes from the lacking efficiency of the magnetic coupling. (In principle wireless charging is like an old transformer BUT without the for the efficiency crucial iron core).

          Fast charging of batteries will in it self in the right circumstances (and this is crucial!) not be bad BUT this goes for temperatures well below 30 degrees Celsius AND not beyond about 50% of the capacity.
          Also have a look at e.g. this https://eskerahn.dk/?p=2857 , and its source-links.

              It's the higher voltage that causes the phone batteries to heat up much, so instead of increasing the voltage, might as well increase the current instead, like what SuperVOOC is having (5V/10W).
              Besides, they could allow multiple connection points to the battery to allow multiple paths of electricity to flow inside of it to let it charge faster, so you're getting faster charging speeds without harming the battery that much, if it does at all.

                EskeRahn, 28 Jan 2019Interesting I was not aware of that, Thanks. :) Preferab... moreYeah, it would be cool if they added a feature where you could schedule the times it should and shouldn't fast charge

                  Nothing wrong with the current speeds of battery charging Samsung is using.
                  Is the super duper charging an actual deciding factor when purchasing a phone? Really?

                        Preferably it should be mechanical on the charger, or a 'button' that appeared on screen every time it was plugged in.

                        is a bit deeply buried - but at the least the option IS there. :)

And with that they offer some of the safest battery standards around now. And claim to lose much less capacity over a year or two compared to others.

                            Like 20-40 fully charged. Don't know what speed all be used, method used, or capacity to a little variance in my guessing.
