Charging battery question

[Ekiiia88]

Simple question, not sure if its been discussed yet... When charging your HTC One, does it only charge up to 99% or does it reach 100%? So far mines just goes to 99% , anyone else the same?

100% here.

Let the battery die down until your phone shuts off on it's own. The recharge your phone which should go to 100%. This will help condition the battery and a good practice to do at least once a week.

Just checked mine after coming off charge and it was 100% and stayed at 100% for over 45 min. and I even made 2 short calls but nothing else. Try what Jag suggested that should work.

With LiPoly batteries, it is not good to let them die. This may have been a good practice in the past, but it is not the case anymore, especially to do once a week. The battery will calibrate just fine on its own with use.

100 here though I do notice the 99-100 seems to take longer.

Well you can certainly practice how you like to do your device but it is common practice whether it is a Lithium Ion or Polymer battery it never hurts to run them down to cycle and condition them as I have done an extensive amount of research on this in order to write a battery guide for the forums so it never hurts to do this as it is common practice for any Smartphone device. Thank you for your comments anyway.

I wouldn't worry about the 1%. Follow HTC's instructions in regards to the battery. I wouldn't discharge completely, it will decrease battery life.

Yeah it does take a little bit longer. I finally see mine's at 100% cool

Not looking to start a flame war here, however, you're wrong.

Good we WON'T start any kind of war here. I am not going to dignify your calling me wrong with a further comment.
