How long does your phone battery go from 100% to 99%

A neutron walks into a bar and orders a drink. Upon being asked the price, the bartender responded, “For you? No charge.”

Hahaha
I think as a kid you put a fork in the electrical socket as amusement

No....just a house key

Nothing like electricity running through your body as a ground lol

Shocking! Absolutely shocking!

100 to 99 for me is like the moment I take the phone off the charger and walk out of the bedroom daily morning lol. The first 5 percent is rapid in terms of drain. Then it always seems to settle down.

I don't ever pay attention to my battery percentage. I don't even have a battery icon. I turned off all my indicator icons and only have the clock and energy ring on cause the battery life is outstanding.

I wouldn't know. I don't abuse my batteries by charging them to 100%.

And just what is the benefit of not charging them to 100% ?

Li-ion batteries don't like full charges or deep discharging. When you go above 75%, it can cause accelerated internal breakdown that lowers capacity and shortens the overall life of the battery. I personally killed one in 6 months before I learned about that. It wasn't a big deal in the past when batteries were cheap and user replaceable. With the switch to sealed batteries that are expensive and time consuming to replace, it's more important to properly care for them.

According to some of the posters even if you charge to 100% it not 100% might be 98 % so I think your safe

Almost instantly, but then the drain levels off.

If I had to judge I would say a nanosecond!

Assuming that is true, which there is enough evidence for me to believe it, it's not much of a difference in the grand scheme of things. The higher you charge it, the greater the risk of damage.

A lot of people think the risk is overcharging the battery. Barring any defects, that's not true. Over charging is a huge fire danger and battery chargers are designed to shut off at the proper charge level.

Same here. A little education on this matter goes a long way.

I agree..

The downside to something like this is everyone will probably have a different answer. Different cell strength, what's going on in the background, what apps are loaded, etc.

I'm not saying this is a bad thing to discuss....just a lot of variables.

The whole battery charging to 80% and not letting them drop below 40% is overated. I use my phones alot and have yet to kill a battery or deteriorate one noticeably unless they are more than 3 years old. I try not to go below 25% but the most important thing is not to drain them fully on a regular basis which my wife and daughter do and after 2 years there batteries are fatigued.

It depends like Golfdriver said , I've been charging my device from 5 percent to 100 all the time , my iPhone x which is about 2 years old at 92% capacity and my 8+ still going strong . I say do what works best for you .
