Why do phone batteries seem to lose charge faster when they are fully charged, while they can last for an hour or longer on 1%?
In: Technology
Mine lasts >72 hours on a charge, and would be significantly longer if I wasn’t using the GPS app, so ~1 hour on 1% isn’t far off from expected.
There’s a psychological factor that when you’ve just waited for it to be fully charged, each drop seems like it’s negating some of that. But by the time it hits 30% or so, you already know it’s low and you’re thinking about how much longer it can last before you need to charge it again instead of how long you spent charging it.
Not sure what the official term for it is, but it’s the same with anything you get that’s new and pristine. The first few scratches/dents seem to ruin that newness but after awhile you no longer care about a few scratches or dents, you just wonder how much more you can get out of it before you have to replace it.
