Charge the Asus Rog Phone 2 without the "fast charging" feature. Is it possible?

[gonzaaa_92]

Hi!
Because of several research I made on the internet, I found that fast charging your phone is not good for the lifespam of the battery. I cannot quote the reasons since I'm no expert on the matter, but the conclusion I reached was basically that one.
So starting from the premise that what I concluded is correct, I wanted to know if there's an option on the settings to turn fast charging off so that I can healthily charge my phone at night when I don't need any fast chargin process going on. Is that possible? If yes is the answer, how can I do it?
Thanks in advance.

Go to settings, power master, battery care, and set up the time over night whe you want the phone to charge slower. I have set it to terminate at 7am as I wake at 6.30. So the phone is still not 100% charged when I wake up.

Hey! I set the battery care option on and realized that It took less than an hour to charge from 40% to 80%, but it's taking a long time charging It from that point on. Is that normal?

40% to 80% still under quick charge
80% onwards to 100% (100% on screen is not actual) normal and slow charging.
it is normal and there is no need to worry.

After 80% it is still fast charging.
You can check it in the SOC graph.
The only function of the powermaster feature is to make sure that the phone spends less time above 80% when you charge it overnight.

This is how I do it. I have set time between 23:00 and 7:00. I wake at 6:30. At that time I see my phone charged at 80-86%. Than I wait until 7:00 to unplug it, or unplug it immediately, based on the info written above. When I put it on charger after 23:00 and continue to play Asphalt, I see it charge fast to 80%. Then it stops to charge. If I have to wake up earlier for work, like 5am, I see the phone still at 80%. Basically during the scheduled time the system will not let it charge over 80% until the scheduled time is close to the end. As I wrote above, normally at 6:30, half an hour before the scheduled period ends, the phone is at 86%. It's a very clever system which is keeping the battery healthy. If I have to charge it during the day, I just put it on a charger for half an hour or an hour, depending how empty the battery is. Never charge it completely. I normally charge when battery shows 10%.

I just want to make it clear that all suggestion about our battery care function has already been lifted by several users at multiple occasions and sent to our devs. They are aware of what you want 🙂
