It comforts me that its the only charger included (they wouldn't have done that if it was bad, right?), but since I'll never need a mid-day charge I wonder if it would be at all healthier for the battery to simply use a normal 1a charger overnight.

The USB cable that goes from the wall wart to the phone looks like an ordinary USB cable.Is it both pieces that make it turbo charge or is it the part that plugs into the wall?

i tried plugging the Droid Turbo charger into the Droid Maxx to see if I could even get a "regular" charge and it doesn't even register on the phone.

I was wondering the same. I asked that question in the other thread. Does the turbo charger speed hurt the battery when compared to a slower charger? Should it be used when absolutely necessary or every day/night? I assume the answers to these questions are no, it does not harm the battery. I don't think that Moto would have included it stock if it did. They assume (rightfully) that we will all use the included charger as our main charger for this phone. There would be future lawsuits if it damaged the components of the phone, including the battery.
It is interesting to discuss though. Everybody has something different to say when it comes to these Li-Ion batteries. My father bought the Note 4 the other day and they told him to let the phone discharge to 5% before fully charging it to 100% at least three times to "condition" the battery. They further said that if you charge your phone at 50% instead of when it gets low, that the phone recognizes 50% as being "low" and battery life will decrease.
Whether or not that is true, my father listened to the T-Mobile salesman for his previous phone, the G2, and noticed significantly less battery life when he started charging at 50% after always charging when it got very low.

I ordered the turbo charger to use with my 2014 Moto X, and I must say it's awesome - I just love it! I was also a bit nervous about using it as my daily charger, but I'm starting to use it more and more. It's really neat Moto ships it with the Turbo, since I paid over $40 for mine. I sincerely don't think Moto would send only the turbo charger if it wasn't safe to use all the time, even overnight. They have to assume a number of Turbo owners are switching from iPhones and don't have one or two (or a drawer full in my case) of old chargers to fall back on, right?
