It is logical that faster chargers will shorten battery life. However,
if it reduces the number of recharges by 75%, then, instead of 500
recharges, you get only 125. That's about a penny per use/charge cycle.
Why worry about it if the convenience is significant?

In my case, because it will increase the frequency of failures, and the
number of times you run into battery problems in the field. Why not
just organise your battery usage so that you can afford the longer time?
Using low-self-discharge batteries, there is no reason why you can't
always have at least one set pre-charged and ready to go.

I lament this society where speed and disposability are the priorities..
