If anything, the opposite. Most fast charging devices (any that advertises a 0-50% charge rate) end up throttling charge as it gets closer to 100% because filling up all cells super quickly can actually damage the battery.
That's also why many laptops (such as Macbooks) come with an "intelligent" charging feature that will limit charging to 80%, only charging up that last 20% when it thinks you'll need it

- harkinian 3y agoYeah, slower charging (like 20W) seems good, but I've used phone chargers out of desperation before and seen the alternating charge/discharge. Can't be good for it.
