How to disable the fast charging feature on Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro: a detailed guide

The fast charging feature in the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro allows you to restore battery power in minutes, but this is not always good for the device. Many users note that intense heating of the battery during accelerated charging reduces its life, especially when used often.

In this article, we’ll take a look at all the possible ways to turn off fast charging on the Redmi Note 10 Pro, including standard MIUI settings, hidden menus, and commands via ADB. You’ll also learn how to check if the feature is actually deactivated, and what alternative methods will help reduce battery load without completely turning off fast charging.

Important: the procedure differs depending on the MIUI version and regional firmware. If your Redmi Note 10 Pro runs on global (MIUI Global), Chinese (MIUI China) or custom firmware, some menu items may be missing or have a different name, and we took these nuances into account and provided universal solutions.

Why you should turn off fast charging on the Redmi Note 10 Pro

Smartphone makers including Xiaomi are pushing fast-charging technology as a key advantage of their devices, but there is a downside to this solution:

• 🔋 Battery degradation: Lithium-ion batteries lose capacity faster with frequent fast-charging cycles due to increased heat generation. 3.0/4.0 The battery can lose up to 20% capacity 1.5–2 year-on 10–15% standard-charging).
• ⚡ Redmi Note 10 Pro is equipped with a Snapdragon processor 732G, It's already prone to heat, and fast charging makes the problem worse, especially in hot weather or when you use resource-intensive applications at the same time.
• 🛡️ Risk of damage to the power controller: Cheap or uncertified chargers paired with fast charging can cause voltage surges, causing the power control chip to fail.

Of course, Xiaomi has implemented overheating protection (such as limiting current above 40°C), but these measures do not completely solve the problem. If you plan to use a smartphone for longer than 2-3 years, turning off fast charging can extend the battery life by 30-40% if used correctly.

On the other hand, there are situations where fast charging is justified:

• ⏱️ You urgently need to recharge before leaving.
• 🚗 You use the Redmi Note 10 Pro as a navigator in your car and connect it to charge for short intervals.
• 🎮 You play mobile games and want to avoid discharge during the session.

Method 1: Disconnect via standard MIUI settings

The easiest method is to use the built-in MIUI options. Unfortunately, in the latest firmware versions (MIUI 13/14) Xiaomi has removed the direct fast-charging switch from the main menu, but it can be found through advanced battery settings.

Instructions for Redmi Note 10 Pro (relevant to MIUI 12.5-14):

1. Open the Settings app (cog icon).
2. Go to the Battery and Performance section.
3. Slip on Battery Settings (or Additional Settings in some versions).
4. Select Charging Mode or Charging Optimization.
5. Deactivate the Quick Charge switch (which may be called Quick Charge or Turbo Charging).

If you don’t have this item on your menu, try an alternative route:

Settings → Special features → Additional settings → Battery optimization → Charging mode

Check the MIUI version (Settings → About Phone → MIUI version)

Connect the original charger

Charge the battery to 30-50% for testing

Reboot your phone after the changes-->

⚠️ Note: On some firmware (for example, MIUI China or custom builds, this method may not work, so you can move on to the following methods.

Method 2: Use of the MIUI Hidden Settings (Hidden Settings)

MIUI hides some options from users, but you can activate them through an engineering settings menu or special codes. There are two working methods for the Redmi Note 10 Pro:

Method 1: Code for turning off fast charging

1. Open the Phone app.
2. Enter the combination: ##4636###.
3. In the menu that appears, select Battery Information.
4. Slip on AC charge input current (or similar).
5. Set 500 mA (standard charging) instead of 1500-2000 mA (fast charging).

Method 2: MIUI Hidden Settings App

If the code doesn’t work, install MIUI Hidden Settings (available on Google Play):

1. Launch the application and grant ADB permissions (if requested).
2. Go to the Battery section.
3. Find the Fast Charge option and turn it off.
4. Save the changes and restart the device.

⚠️ Warning: Changing hidden settings can lead to unstable system operation. If after switching off fast charging, the phone began to charge more slowly even from a standard adapter, return the settings to the original state.

Method 3: Disconnect via ADB (for power users)

If previous methods have failed, the most reliable, but also the most difficult, method is ADB commands, which requires connecting the phone to a computer and basic knowledge of how to work with the console.

Step 1: Preparation

• 🖥️ Install. ADB and Fastboot Tools on PC.
• 📱 Turn on Debugging. USB on the phone: Settings → The phone. → Version. MIUI (Tap 7 times) Settings → Additionally. → For developers → Debugging by USB
• 🔌 Connect the Redmi Note 10 Pro to your computer via the original cable.

Step 2: Execution of commands

Open the command prompt (cmd in Windows or Terminal in macOS/Linux) and type in order:

adb devices

(Series numbered device should appear. If not, check the drivers.)

adb shell


settings put global fast_charge 0




settings put global wireless_fast_charge 0

To return fast charging, use:

settings put global fast_charge 1


settings put global wireless_fast_charge 1

Step 3: Checking

Reboot your phone and connect to charging. Charging time from 0 to 100% should increase from ~1 hours to ~2.5-3 hours (using a standard 5V/2A adapter).

1. Reinstall Xiaomi drivers (official site).

2. Use another USB-cable (preferably original).

3. Enable File Transfer Mode when Connecting to a PC.-->

How to check if fast charging is actually off

It's not enough to follow the instructions, you have to make sure that the changes are in effect. Here are 3 ways to check:

1. Charging time

Connect the Redmi Note 10 Pro to the charger and record the recovery time of 1% charge:

• 🔌 Fast charging: 1% per ~1-1.5 minutes (33W).
• ⚡ Standard charging: 1% per ~3-4 minutes (5W–10W).

Monitoring annexes

Install one of the applications for charging analysis:

• 📊 Battery HD — Shows the charging current in real time.
• 🔋 Battery Monitor – displays voltage and current strength.
• 📈 Ampere – a minimalist tool for checking current.

With fast charging, the current will be in the range of 1500-2500 mA, with a standard one - 300-1000 mA.

3. Heat generation

Feel the back cover of the phone 10-15 minutes after connecting to the charger:

• 🔥 Fast charging: noticeable heat (40)°C and above).
• ❄️ Standard charging: barely warm body (30–35)°C).

Alternative methods to reduce battery load

If you don’t want to turn off fast charging completely, but you are worried about the health of the battery, use these tips:

• 🔄 Limit the charge to 80 percent. MIUI There is an optimised charging function (Settings) → Battery → Battery settings → Optimized charging, which stops charging by 80% if your phone is connected overnight.
• 🌡️ Avoid overheating.Do not use your phone while charging for games or videos, or leave it in direct sunlight.
• 🔌 Use original accessories. Xiaomi chargers and cables are optimized for the Redmi Note 10 Pro and heat less.
• 📵 Turn it off. 5G/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth These modules consume energy even in standby mode, resulting in microcharge/discharge cycles.

Another useful trick is to use the charger from USB-Computer port. USB 2.0/3.0 limited 500 mA–900 mA, which automatically turns off fast charging. This is convenient if you're working on a PC and want to maintain charge without sacrificing the battery.

💡

The optimal mode for the battery is charging up to 80% with standard current (5W) at a temperature of 20-25 ° C. This slows down the degradation by 40-50% compared to fast charging up to 100%.
