Lithium Ion batteries don't "quick-charge" under any circumstances. They charge at a specific rate that starts off quickly charging and tapering off as they get more charge in them. The whole "Quick Charge" thing with rechargable devices is just marketing spin for a mode of charge that stops at 70% charge.
