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?

It was better for NiCad batteries to drain them completely, but now that everything is Lithium, there’s no need to drain them.
You think that, but every iPhone and Android phone says otherwise that has a lithium ion battery. It’s built in their OS as a feature to ensure longer battery duration long term. Unless Apple, Samsung, Google are all doing it for a myth… I have my doubts. They essentially set it to go to 80% then slow charge to 100 the last bit before you wake so it won’t sit trying to restart charging from 99% to 100% for hours.
(And yes it is orchestrated around your alarm going off time)
I said drain.
