Charging & Discharging Issues?

[Murph5150]

I'm using the stock Turbo Charger on my Motorola Droid Turbo and GSAM is telling me it'll be 1 hr 48 min until charged from 93%. I'm also losing a little but more than 5% per hour which would get me shy of 20 hours. Bluetooth, etc are all off, and the 93% icon has been constant while charging for about twenty minutes. Usage has been very light today. It was fully charged at 6 am when I woke up. Any thoughts?

Unplug the phone. Restart it, and then pug in again. See if that changes anything.

If not, I suggest letting the phone run until it warns that the battery is too low to leave the display on, then plug it in and charge it fully. Sometimes (not often) it takes a full charge cycle to reset the internal circuitry that reports on the state of the battery.

It's definitely 100% normal for the charge rate to slow when the phone reaches about 90%. When the battery nears full charge, it becomes susceptible to rapid overheating, which is definitely something you don't want to happen to a lithium ion battery pack.

Thanks man. I've done the total discharge once before, but a while ago. Also, I thought the Turbo Charger pushed 5 volts through. GSAM has it at 4-something. I'm gonna drain the battery like you said, time the charge, monitor volts, and go from there. Much appreciated.
