I am charging my laptop with one of the “quick charging” phone chargers right now, currently it says 5 hours until full charge. Does this wear out the battery faster or something? Or does it make no difference apart from taking a little bit longer?

    The 80% rule is rather out of date and doesn’t apply to modern batteries. Lithium doesn’t care, and most batteries naturally report 100% at 80%. So it’s already accounted for when needed.
