    That’s the key.

    That said, I’ve always bought ~2 year old phones. They usually have batteries at 85% life (or more).

    I haven’t had fast charging hurt one significantly yet, and I’ve used it a lot on some phones.

    Of course, I avoid using it as much as possible. I use a slow charger (1A,max) overnight and it’s on a timer. On rooted phones I use a charge limiting app.
