Edit : seriously though, it’s great. I avoid it if possible but I have no qualms charging it with my steam deck charger, which is very beefy, if the need arises
If the steam deck charger has a voltage output option that matches your phone (5V) then there is no issue. Current is set by the load in this case since the power convertor in the charger is a voltage generator, not a current generator. So the phone won’t get too much current
It shouldn’t be too long now before the EU implements its regulation that requires phone batteries to be “easily replaceable with simple, easy to access tools”, right?
That’s going to be monumental for the lifespan of these devices, especially as phones get software support for longer and longer these days.
Honestly. I wouldn’t have to worry about my battery’s health if I could easily swap it out.

Laughs just as hard in HMD Fusion.
I also ocassionally charge it with laptops usb-c charger if it is only thing handy. No problems so far.

Not entirely true. Batteries are still made up of rare and polluting materials. And mining is not exactly ethical either
