Useful, thanks, although the widget works with any gadget.

I'm sure you are right although most, possibly all, now have charge controllers so the receiving gadget determines the charge rate within the limit of the charger as you will know. I haven't actually checked the Anker car chargers, but they have never been a problem.
I have a belief that low power chargers might be better for the battery over time. I have a Kindle charger that can't manage more than about 0.4A charging my phone, which I use overnight usually. After nearly 2 years there's no sign of any deterioration of the battery on my Huawei.
I'm pretty sure heat's bad too. The Huawei runs fairly cool even when charging in the car using navigation, unlike its Sony predecessor, which could have done duty as a handwarmer, whose battery was losing its virtue after less than a year.
21st century problems eh. The only battery life I used to worry about was my cycle lamps'.
