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.
