The problem with fast charging is that it shortens the life of the lithium battery being used by your phone. On Monday, Oppo released a press release about a technology already being used on the Find X5 Pro flagship after three years of research and innovation. Called the Battery Health Engine, the latest lab tests reveal that even after 1,600 charging cycles the battery performs at 80% of its original capacity.

Oppo included a chart with the press release that shows a lithium battery charged using conventional Flash Charge dropping to 80% capacity after 800 charging cycles. Using Flash Charge with Oppo’s Battery Health Engine, it takes 1,600 charging cycles for the battery to reach 80% capacity. That means the battery on the Oppo Find X5 Pro will last twice as long as a battery being charged up using conventional Flash Charge technology.
Oppo says, “As the leader of charging technology, OPPO knows that the future development of fast charging can not only stop at high power – it should also consider aspects such as safety, portability, compatibility, and battery lifespan. Here at OPPO, the company is taking big steps towards upgrading the world of smartphone charging to completely revolutionize the user experience of smartphones while contributing to the future sustainability of lithium battery technologies.”
