The article only tests whether the batteries get hot. High electrical loads, both charge and discharge can also degrade batteries directly.
I’ve been setting limits with ACCA for years on my Pixel 4A because its battery is difficult to replace. I didn’t expect to keep it for five years, but there isn’t a new phone I would like better.
My standard limit is 60% charge and 500mA charge rate. Sometimes I increase the limit to 80% or the charge rate to 1000mA for convenience. I rarely allow 100% or the full 3000mA charge rate, and it’s set to pause charging in response to temperature.
