I think I found a charging bug, please try yours and report back

How do you account for the facts I presented above, that using a wall charger, and option selected, the ring continues to breathe at 100%. At the same time, when the option is deselected, the ring stays on at 100%?

Also the battery stays warm while the ring glows on and off, I suspect that it is in low charge. I can also prove this by looking at No2Chem's Power Panel. It's showing around 150+ mA.

For Li-Ion batteries, there is high rate charge, low rate charge, and trickle charge. High rate will take the battery to ~80%, low rate takes it the rest of the way. It is trickle that maintains the charge.

What you describe is trickle charge, which does not appreciably warm up the battery, and would be at a pulsed/intermittent rate. This would not be a constant 150 mA.

So no, it is not a "visual error". With the option checked, the battery is subject to a constant low rate charge even at 100%. And no, that will not cause a fire. It just reduces the battery's ability to hold charge over time.

my battery charge: i just plug it in, battery is at 91% charge current is 424mA so according to what your saying this should be a low charge state of 150mA +/-

im going ot charge up my device and see what it says for charging current at 100% then im going to disable the usb charge option like you have test and then ill post back.

Thanks. I'm very interested in your results. When you first plug in, it will always try to go into high/rapid charge. Also, you have to take the charge rate, minus the drain rate, to get the actual charge rate.

Make sure the option is unchecked, and use a wall charger (not via PC/USB).
