One type of charging is called a fast charge which is what the phone does. The other would be a long or trickle charge. The latter, a trickle charge, is a better charge as you will get more life out of the battery. A quick charge on the other hand will still read as full but it will dissipate faster EI it going from 100% to 96% while in standby after 30 mins.
I believe HTC is aware of this and that was their weird statement about fully charging then unplugging turning phone off charging again blah blah....
If I am incorrect about the time it takes for a battery to charge or if I am the only one who has had the percent drop from 100% too fast then I apologize.
This thread was started and posted so people would have an explanation for what was happening and a fix. I do not have a problem with the battery but found this made it better.

No chargers for lithium ion batteries "trickle" charge.
You are right about fast and slow charging. The box charger puts out 1,000 amps (faster), where as generic or other brand chargers and the usb put out 500 amps (slower).
I am not sure slower is actually any better, deeper or longer lasting. Heat is usually the killer, keeping the battery cool would give it a longer over all life (but don't confuse that with longer battery usage).
I can probably safely say that even at 1,000 amps it is with in safe charging parameters.
But you all can read up on here and make your own conclusions;
