You'll be fine using that charger, but you may not see charging speeds as quick as the original charger.
But on that charger are even normal charging ports..which is better to use?
Tnx
You should be fine but it's worth noting that Google suggests only using the power charger that came with the device.
Google's Battery lifespan, charging & usage tips
1. Use the power adaptor and charger that came with your device
Other chargers can charge slowly, not at all or damage your device or battery.
2. Keep it cool
Avoid situations where your device can overheat. Your battery will drain much faster when it's hot, even if you're not using it, and this can even damage your battery. Bear in mind that your device warms up when it's plugged in, so try not to keep it charging all the time.
3. Don't worry about calibrating the battery
You don't need to teach your device how much capacity the battery has by going from totally charged to completely drained.
4. Keep it more than half charged
For the best battery lifespan, try to keep your battery charged above 50% as much as possible.
5. Try to charge a little at a time
Small charges throughout the day are best for battery health. Battery lifespan can suffer if it's charged from zero to full and then completely drained on a regular basis.
6. Store your device half charged
Leave the device with a half-full battery if it needs to be stored for a long time.

What is the optimal way to charge the OP3 in order to preserve the battery lifetime? I don't care about charging speed, I just want the battery to last long with minimal degradation. Is dash charging bad for the lifetime of the battery? Or would I be better off charging the OP3 slowly with a traditional charger? Right now I have this charger

You should be using the OnePlus charger and cable which came with the phone. For optimal battery life, don't let the phone discharge below 10% and charge it till around 90%.
Dash Charging should be comparable with QuickCharge 3.0 which helps preserve battery life. So I reckon the official charger is your best bet.
Charging a battery with high intensity is bad for a battery life, dash charging/VOOC or quickcharge (any version) will be bad for battery in the long run.
But you'll only see a difference in 3 or 4 years and I don't think you'll use your phone more than 3 years. And even if you want to keep it more than 3 years, even if you don't use the phone, age will act on the battery. Even if you charge it slowly or quickly, there won't be a big difference in 2 years. Just be aware that USB-C cable have an active component in the cable head and a cheap USB-C cable can dammage your device.
If you still want to charge OP3 in good way, you have to plug it on a computer so it will charge at 5V 0.5A. It's very slow but it should charge your phone overnight and during the day, charge it while you have any occasion. 10 charge from 70% to 80% have less impact on the battery than 1 full charge from 0% to 100%.
Don't run it flat, keep it above 20-30% and don't fully charge it.
Don't leave it on charge overnight.
I run mine from about 30% to 90% maybe a little over as a 90% charge is what it takes to reset the days battery stats, screen on time etc.
Fast charge doesn't seem to be working for me.
I'm coming from a Moto X style with rapid charge and it took about an hour to charge if that but Jesus this phone is slow to charge up.
I've even turned the fast charge on and off and I get about 10mins difference, is there something wrong or is Samsung's fast charge just rubbish?
Hi guys,
I'm writing because I have noticed that my battery performance change if I use a regular 2A charger.
With Pixel stock charger, which implements fast charge, sometimes battery drain is fast after stopped charging. For example, from 90% to 85% in a ten minutes.
With a regular 2A - 5V charger, the discharge is more regular, and I have also noticed that the battery life is better. The problem is that it takes a lot of time.
Has anyone noticed the same?
Whenever I charge my a50, the charger heats up quickly. Could this be because of the fast charging and is it normal? And no, I don't use my phone while its charging.
