Rapid Charging

[Mike Dee]

Wait

They are trying to sell new Pixel 4.
They want to know what it will take to get you to buy one.

Oh please.....Why go there?

Simple. It's called projection.

I'm not an engineer but can you test the charging system with some sort of instrument? I think it's more likely it wasn't charging than a malicious change to the operating system is responsible.

More like baseless speculation but to each his own I guess.

The charging rate depends on a few things - like condition of the battery (how many times have you let it drop below 40%, how many times have you left the phone in a car in the sun), and where on the charge curve you're looking. Charging from 40% to 70% is faster with rapid charging, but charging from near 0 isn't (until you reach about 30%), neither is charging from 80% to 100%.

And if you let the battery drop to near 0%, you can kill in in a couple of months. The further below 50%, the shorter the lifespan. (Lithium batteries are not deep-discharge batteries.)

Oddly enough, on my ride to work today on the motorcycle, it stayed fully charged from 95% to when I got to work a half hour later. This was with using waze and pandora again. Maybe its not necessarily my phone but my USB cable being finicky. I need to do more testing.

Could the vibrations be bothering your cable ... does the cable hang, or wave in the wind??

OK, it was my cable. I found a part that was burned through from my exhaust...

Only if it's a Harley������������

Because it IS a Harley.

EDIT: Installed a new "fire resistant" USB cable on the bike this past weekend and my phone stayed at 100% the entire ride. All good now.
