Nah. I refuse to buy anything that will just sit there. No time for museum pieces.

I had a bad dream last night. In it, somehow a lot of my lenses had gotten a bunch of scratches on them.
Were you in Vegas? With a bunch of hot chicks in a huge hotel suite? Lot's of drugs and booze there? Maybe a tiger in the bathroom too?
Thats worse than my tofu chicken mayo dream, O wait... that was real
Stock charger? Get one to charge at 2 amps
Yup......I don't mind the long charge time.....I mind the shorter battery life. But it's still waaaaaay better than my 5S.
Doesn't charging at 2 amps decrease battery life over time?
No. They a e designed for it. kronin323

Correct - the circuitry in lithium ion devices prevents them from charging at a higher amperage than they're designed to take, regardless of what's being pushed to it. And the latest gen of smartphones and tablets are designed for 2A.
I've done a fair share of research on what affects lithium ion battery life. There aren't a lot of authoritative answers out there but it appears the life is defined by how many times you charge it, regardless of if it's a short charge or a long charge. So it's better to run it low then charge it fully than do a bunch of short partial charges / top offs.
Really, that's the same advice as with old NiCad batteries, only with those the reason was to prevent battery memory. Similar threads
