Mumbai: Ultra-fast chargers are gaining popularity among common people. These chargers are praised for their ability to charge smartphones faster than usual. But they do come with some significant drawbacks which people do not care to talk about.
1. Heat Buildup
One of the primary issues with ultra-fast charging is excessive heat generation in your smartphone. Fast charging pumps a lot of power into the battery, and that in a very short span of time, which leads the device to overheating- which could be risky at times.
This heat can cause thermal stress on your smartphone, it could damage the internal components, reduce battery life, and in extreme cases, may cause the device to overheat during use and at times explode.
2. Battery degradation
Charging your phone rapidly degrades the battery life. If your smartphone has a lithium-ion battery, then it will degrade faster when subjected to high temperatures and fast charging cycles. Frequent use of ultra-fast chargers could lead to a reduction of the battery life.

3. Compatibility issues
Not all smartphones are designed to handle ultra-fast charging. So, in case you are using a charger which is too powerful for your smartphone to handle, then it could have caused compatibility issues, leading to inconsistent charging speeds, overheating or even not charging at all.
4. Power surge risk
Ultra-fast chargers have a risk of sudden power surges which could damage sensitive components in your smartphone- including the charging port or the battery itself.
5. Reduced battery lifespan
Ultra-fast charging may not just degrade your battery’s capacity but it will shorten up the lifespan of it altogether. Consistent exposure to rapid charging could shorten the overall lifespan of the battery.
