I don’t want to trigger the fast charging if I don’t need to, so I was thinking of just using a smaller charger.
But I’m worried that the Steam deck’s battery is too large for it to charge up all the way with a phone charger cable

People so weird
Yeah it’s so weird how people don’t want to trash the battery on their expensive portable gaming handheld 😵💫
You are going out of your way to use it against how it was designed to be used. Yes, you are weird for thinking that plugging in a mismatched cord is smarter than the way the professionals made it.
You’re assuming that manufacturers make electronics with longevity in mind when it’s often the opposite lol

Apple for example is infamous for deliberately nuking their products with both hardware designs and software updates
If your tinfoil hat theory was correct, it would be software slowing it. Overthrottling the battery to make it “break” faster isn’t a legitimate thing. If you’re going to be paranoid, at least understand what you’re talking about. If you are so smart, why are you resorting to asking reddit about your crackpot ideas?
I am pretty sure you are more likely going to risk some kind of short or long term drain on the battery using 3rd party phone chargers rather than the charger it was designed for. The Fast Charging will not negatively impact your battery life in any measurable way.
