iPhone 11 Pro Stops Charging When 100%

[Ariaizadi]

I’ve noticed my 11 pro max disconnects from charging when the battery reaches 100%. Does this happen to anyone else?

Sorry never mind, “optimized battery charging”

Not optimized, its just how battery charging works. If you keep pushing electricity into a full battery it gets hot and explodes. All modern devices stop when full.

This is also why you shouldnt use cheap, knock off chargers as the phone says "enough" and they ignore it and keep pushing power.

I used the usb c it came with and another original lightning cable. This never happened with my previous iPhones.

I'm looking forward to phones that will charge well past 100%. Battery technology needs to catch up. Why have we settled for 100% for so long?

lol battery technology does not mean you can charge past 100%. That's just a measure of being "fully charged." 100% on 3000 mah is not the same as 100% on 4100 mah batteries. You cant charge something past full. Unless I'm mistaken and we can then that's news to me.

 

[now i see it]

The 100% endpoint really is a chosen voltage trade off between battery capacity and life cycles. Someone somewhere decided that a lithium ion battery should have a certain number of life cycles, so the voltage cutoff to hit that milestone was used. A lithium ion battery certainly can be charged a bit over 4.2-4.3 volts to give it even more than "100%" capacity, but it won't have as long of a life before degrading too far.

Conversely, if a lithium ion battery is charged to a lower voltage (say 3.92V) (75%) it can last for many thousands of cycles, but at the expense of limiting the capacity available at each charge

Ever thought he may have been making a joke?
