Hi, I was wondering something about charging. So I have a 65-watt charger for my laptop, would it be okay for battery health to use that same 65 watt charger for my Galaxy buds+ and wireless headphones? I heard somewhere that such powerful chargers are bad for small batteries, but I wanted to make sure. Furthermore, just as a bonus question, can anyone show me any good chargers powerful enough to charge my laptop but also my other devices with tiny or gigantic batteries without seriously damaging or seriously reducing the lifespan of either? I know that no matter the speed of my charging the battery lifespan will degrade, but I don’t want it to be too fast. 

Tl;dr, will charging a tiny battery with a charger meant for laptops (65 watt) damage my battery?

Thanks. Don’t judge me bc I only have 5 posts lol

Edit - also, what charging speed should I use for all my devices like my wireless earbuds and headphones, phone, tablet, but not my laptop since that’s need a e powerful charger? 15? 30 watts?

Yeah, it will not charge any device faster than it is supposed to charge on. I would reccomend just getting a small power brick that use. This would be an example of one which if you use the discount code is 22 dollars. https://www.ravpower.com/products/rp-pc105-61w-pd-wall-charger

Wait - so I can use my laptop charger for everything else and see regular battery degradation, without a huge jump in it?

Yes, the charging brick will only give as much power to a device as it requests so it doesn't fry circuits and overcharge batteries.
