I bought a new tablet but I’m unable to use the charging cable it came with until I can get an adapter because I don’t have anything that can except USB type C. I have multiple cables with a USB A connector but the tablet says that it’s “slow charging” when I use them. I tried to look this up before posting but for some reason, a lot of websites refer to “normal changing” as slow charging now and I’m unable to find anything relevant to my issue. Would I be fine to use the other cables I have until I can get an adapter?
Edit: I no longer need help with this. I originally made this post because, for several years, I was told and had read that both slow and fast charging damaged batteries significantly more than normal charging. But, as multiple users have stated, it seems like I was being told and reading false information and slow charging is actually better for a battery than normal charging.
However, there is once case, where the extremes are bad, and hitting the sweet spot is good - temperature.
For example, this graph shows that charging in very cold and very hot will kill your battery faster. If you stay in the middle, you’ll get the maximum number of cycles possible before the battery eventually dies.
Those C-values are the charging rate. 1 C = normal, 2 C = very fast 3 C = crazy fast.
