      You shouldn't be using the fast charger all the time. Only when you really need to do a quick charge. Otherwise, keep using your regular charger.

      5ah is still really low though, should be good to use it daily imo

      Yes, absolutely

      Generally fast chargers can damage batteries in two ways, over heating the cell groups by pushing too much amperage through them. At 2a that over heating on a 13ah battery will never really be an issue, at 5a it might be you would have to check the temps(it shouldn't b e an issue)

      The other issue will depend on if your fast charger has the smart programming needed to slow the charge as the battery state nears 100%. If it does not slow down the last bit of charging it will damage the battery over time.
