After 2 years and 3 months my pixel 6 got too hot one too many times while charging and using and the battery expanded. Now I replaced it and got a pixel 8.

Now I don't want that to happen again. I know this chip gets hot when charging. And I don't mind slow charging at all, I'm used to overnight charging.

With my current setup I got a 20w cable charger and a 10w wireless one, and I want to know how to get even slower, less heating charging rates. What adapter brand is reputable, and is the slowest, battery friendliest that's still reasonable for use... If this phone also just lasts me 2 years instead of the 5 that I'm gonna get os updates I'm gonna be mad... I'm okay with a battery replacement in general after a while but that isn't really doable if the entire case is bent like it is on my P6...

Old 5w iPhone chargers are good if you want to leave your phone charging over night, but the reality is after about 2 years the battery will still be worn and need replacement. You can limit the charge level but then again that doesn't really change anything because it will still need to be replaced in a slightly longer amount of time (say 2.5-3 years instead). The best way to prolong your battery health is to not use your phone and leave it powered off at 50% in a dark closet. I personally prefer semi fast chargung only when it reaches 20-30% and unplug at 60-70 or whatever I feel is enough for what I will do for the rest of the day

I am fine with the battery needing replacement in general, I want to prevent it from getting warm often, so that it doesn't bloat again when it's put of warranty like my P6 did...
