Bare in mind, quick charging is bad for your battery.

I did think about it but my LG G4 after 2 years the battery is gone but never quick charged it once. The S8 on the other hand I always quick charged because it's the plug they included with the device. After the power blew out and I lost all my appliances my original samsung charger is one of the casualties so chargong with a 1.5a charger and take 2 to 3 hours to charge.
 
I was looking at those plugs from takealot but they seems pricey or maybe I'm just spoiled with the Chinese plugs. My previous Chinese branded quick charge 3.0 plug also blew not because of poor quality but the power surge. That was a pretty good plug for R45. Real pitty customs and sapo takes so long.

Your battery isn't shot, it's the software, I've used a brand new battery and it's still bad.

I think the Samsung still used Quick Charge 2.0 with the S8

Thanks for the warning. Nice thing about buying from aliexpress and gearbest is that people review the products . On gearbest the Russians seem pretty good. The plug I decided to go with the one Russian guy actually tested the plug in a youtube video testing load and consistancy when under full load for 1 hour and the plug performed performed pretty well actually.

I really like gearbest actually now the reviews by the buyers are pretty good and not just some random thank or good single words in the review.

I'm not sure if amateur user reviews are any good when it comes to this. Some engineers tested a bunch of cables and even some "brand names" are not safe.

Got my parcel today from Gearbest. 2 x QC 3.0 and 1 x QC 3.0 car plug. 5 working days from shipping to be in my hand. Not bad. Would recommend the Gearbest with the Aramex shipping option.
 
I would not buy no name "QC3" devices from China under any circumstances. Definitely stick with proper brands like Anker.
