Check that the cell does not get hot while charging.. Most cells die from overheating, getting cooked to death, or overdischarge but I don't think the latter is possible in the TP as it cuts off before any damage occurs (I hope)
It's not a "rapid charger" per say. It still takes 1hr to charge from 0% to full on this guy. The phone doesn't get any hotter than normal, unless you're charging, using GPS, and running other stuff to...but it would do that under max load even if it's not charging.
