Will a regular charger hurt the battery in my S6?

[AC Question]

Hi,

I have a Galaxy S6 and I always use the fast-charger supplied by Samsung, but I was wondering if using a normal "slow" charger, like an external battery/powerbank, will hurt the battery since it's designed for fast-charging?

as far as I understand no it won't affect the phone. However, if you have problems and they ask, it might void your warranty by using a charger that is not the original.

It won't hurt anything, nor will it void your warranty. It's just going to charge slower. That's it that's all. The only time a charger would void your warranty is if you were using any 3rd party charger and you specifically messed up the charging port and sent it in, and they knew you used a 3rd party. But no, no reason using a slower charger is going to cause any issues other than slower charging.
