Only charges up to 95%

---

Hi guys,

I've noticed that if I plug my phone to the wall charger, when it reaches 95% it just stops charging. I can unplug it and plug it again, and I can reach 100% by repeating the process multiple times, but not in one sitting?

Is this normal? Does it happen to you? Does it get better?

Same here
(Using SuperAosp-ST 4.4)

i have that 2

I got to 98 once !

Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App

Wow. So, is this some kind of feature or what?

as far as i know, its an known bug

Its by design - charging the battery to only 95% level & then the following discharge. It elongates the battery life. It should never charge to level's exceeding the above.

It's not a bug.

Most batteries lifespan drop if being on high voltage too long (100%)

So usually manufacturers will try to let it state it is fully charged before it even reach 100% to extend the lifespan of the battery.

But if you really want to see it charged fully you can do a battery stats wipe in recovery after a ROM flash. It will be able to charge to 100% fully.

Hope that helps.

tried this methode, but no success.

i come from a X10 and SE build in a charging algorithm: battery charged fully, hold this value for one hour and let the battery fall till it reaches 90% and charge again.
do you mean such methode to extend battery life??
the phone from my boss (i9020) charges to 100%, my (i9023) only to 96%

96% is ok, as i said, being in high voltage often kills the battery. 96% keeps it's lifespan much longer.

Being said that, even extremely low voltage kills the battery too. So usually your phone will die before the battery reach 0%
