I’ve noticed this with ipads and iphones. If it’s completely drained and you plug it in, you still can’t turn it on for a few minutes. I don’t know if the battery is part of the standard circuit powering the thing or what.
In: Technology
It’s more than likely a hardware encoded safety measure. Draining lithium ion batteries completely actually damages them. So when a device says it’s at “1%” the more accurate assessment is that it may have somewhere between 3-5% charge left but it’s encoded not to power on due to risk of battery damage. At least I know iPhones do this I’m sure most other devices do except for maybe really cheap ones.
