Thanks to the 10w that came with my original iPad, my iPod touches & nanos have only been charged that way. No significant battery deterioration that I can see from the fast charging.

one thing to think about… heat is the enemy of rechargeable cells. charging faster creates more heat, which will affect the life of the battery. just how much it cuts the life is the question. I wouldn’t be afraid to use the 12w from time to time in a pinch, but I wouldn’t do it every day.

I get similar times from the more powerful charger.

Bought a 10 W at the local Target and use it to charge my iPad mini, 2 iPod touches and 3 nanos of varying vintage. The 5 W sits in a drawer, never to see the light of day again. It’s a joke.
