Turbo Charging

I'm curious to know how many XPE owners have used and continue to use the original OEM Turbo Charger that came with the phone?
How long have you had the phone and how would you rate your phones battery life?

I have bought, used and sold several XPE's and currently switch between a stock 32gb and custom 64gb. I only used the Turbo Charger with my original and have been using a older Samsung Charger that came with a S5 that charges at a slower rate for my current devices.
I'm still seeing, in my opinion, pretty decent battery life. Not sure if it is due to slow charging or the fact that I swap between phones and are not constantly using the same device.
 
Many rumors abound that turbo/quick charging shortens a batteries useful life... But few, if any, have reproducible statistics to prove it.

Although individual results may vary, if in practice it reduces usable runtime of the battery by 15 minutes over 300 charge cycles (just throwing numbers that seem reasonable on average out there), and it reduces it's usable life from 600 charge cycles to 550 while retaining 70% of usable life, does that really matter in the big scheme of things?
