I bought a new tablet but I’m unable to use the charging cable it came with until I can get an adapter because I don’t have anything that can except USB type C. I have multiple cables with a USB A connector but the tablet says that it’s “slow charging” when I use them. I tried to look this up before posting but for some reason, a lot of websites refer to “normal changing” as slow charging now and I’m unable to find anything relevant to my issue. Would I be fine to use the other cables I have until I can get an adapter?
Edit: I no longer need help with this. I originally made this post because, for several years, I was told and had read that both slow and fast charging damaged batteries significantly more than normal charging. But, as multiple users have stated, it seems like I was being told and reading false information and slow charging is actually better for a battery than normal charging.
It’s the same for both. There is a marginal benefit to slow charging but IMHO it doesn’t outweigh the inconvenience of having it on the charger so long.
Ok, I have no problem with slow charging, it’s just that I’ve heard that both slow and fast charging can damage the battery and I wanted to make sure it would be ok.
I think what you are remembering is that slow charging is usually due to some sort of problem with the power supply, and if your phone is always slow charging that might indicate that your battery is damaged. Slow charging, by itself, is very safe.
No, I specifically remember both being told and researching it my self, every source stated that both slow and fast charging can damage batteries.
I looked it up right before writing that comment.
Ok, then either things have changed or I was lied to for the past several years because this is the first time anyone has told me that slow charging was fine.
