Can I charge my phone with many different charger speed types?


Question

I have a nexus 6p, and various different chargers which I bought for the phone. One is a slow USB charger (comes with the box).



Another is a type c to type c cable connected to the AnkerCore 20100+ battery pack (this charges quick charge too but I charge that with a USB mini so the current is different).



I also have a charging dock and sometimes use my computer to charge it, along with a wall charger with the highest speed.



Does this effect the battery in any way and does it effect the time before I have to charge it again?


Answer

To complement the answer of acejavelin and elaborate on other aspects




  • Fast charging is believed to cause damage to both the short term and long term health of battery. Former by not giving enough battery performance for charge and latter by losing capacity to hold charge. Think of drinking soft drinks and maybe a slice of pizza to fill your stomach- your body does not get as much balanced nutrients as it would from a regular meal and you can't do as much work before feeling hungry (short term). If you keeping filling your stomach that way for a long time, effects are obvious (long term) - example is little stretched but makes sense if you think of empty calories


  • Same is explained technically in answers How does fast-charge work? and Fast Charging by Qualcomm 3.0- impact on battery?


  • Technical details for Nexus phones which use fast charging of USB type is Android phone "charging slowly": How to make it faster





And what if I charge the device a bit with one charger and a little with another charger?




Well it's like filling your stomach with pizza sometimes and eating balanced meals sometimes. Not as good as always doing the latter but better than always doing the former!
