My phone battery remains in charge until the morning and closes at 1% seems to be. I fill with an external charger is 100% plug in but the phone is going on and off 1%. I tried another battery still the same result.

So I plugged my GN in last night and stayed up late enough to see it reach 100%, but I left it charging all night. When I woke up this morning, the lock screen said Charged but my battery widget said 97%. This has happened a few times and every time I can fix it by just unplugging it and plugging it back in. Anyone know why it does this? Could it be because I get lots of emails at night and the LED running all night decreases the battery a little? Thanks!
I think it stops charging when it reaches 100%, therefore the 3% may be lost during that time. This is a good thing, because a laptop, or anything else, eventually the battery will go bad. When you unplug it, then plug it back in, it can cause that battery to go bad faster. Again, I think this is it. My phone seems to do that. I would not worry about it though.
Is the first charge on the Nexus 5 still as important as a few years ago? Or is the N5's Li-Ion battery not as sensitive as Li-Po batteries?
I always used to plug in a new before booting them up, charge the battery completely and then unplug it. When the charge went down to about 5%, I plugged it back in. I always did that two or three times and then - while still trying to do it like that all the time - allowed myself to charge the device for a few minutes only when it was necessary instead of plugging it in and leaving it at home.
Well, on the N5, I didn't manage that - I actually forgot to monitor the battery level yesterday evening before going to bed. This morning, I noticed that the battery had reached 1% during the night and the N5 shut itself down.
Of course, I did now plug it back in, but I wonder if I could have damaged the battery by letting it run down to 1% on the first charging cycle? Or doesn't this matter at all and it will still reach its full capacity after a few charging cycles?
Thanks

I wouldn't worry about it, running a battery to empty is indeed bad but they don't allow you to run it to empty. It is programmed to show 1% and shut down before the battery itself is at 1% to prevent you from damaging it.
Use your phone, when charge is about 20% connect your charger and do not disconect until reaches the 100%.
This is what i have done with mine.
I have reached 2 days standby with about 3 hrs of screen on time.
What voltage ranges do you guys get for 100% and 1%?
I bought a new EB40 for a friend's phone and am getting some weird effects. I've previously done the EB40 in Atrix HD in my own phone and it's been fine, but I haven't actually let it run down below 50% yet.
Full Story:
At first the phone wouldn't turn on, but the LED would turn on when I plugged it into the charger. I left it on the charger for 10 minutes and then it would turn on to the battery charging screen, reporting 1% battery left.
I then made it boot into the OS. After a couple minutes charging, it jumped to 100%. I left it on for an hour, then disconnected it, and then it was slowly going down like normal. However, after it hit 85% or so, it just suddenly died.
Then I had to charge it and it was back to 1% and the same thing repeated.
I tried clearing battery stats (/data/system/batterystats.bin) but it seemed similar. Now I'm trying to run the battery till it dies, it's been at 1% for quite a while. Then I'll charge it back to 100%, but is it possible I got a dud?
We ran it down to 1% again, it died, and and it went back up to 100% again. I'm figuring once I get down to the real 1% and dies, when I turn it on it won't be at 100% like every other time. Then perhaps it will charge all the way up to the real 100%.
So far it's been like this voltage wise:
3.966V: 3%
...
3.725V: 1%
died
3.696V: 100%
...
3.663V: 1%
died
3.661V: 100%

i believe when these batterys are fully charged it should be around 4.300 so if the most your getting up to is 3.700 there is probably something wrong
Hello, how are you?
I have an issue with my OPO.
It is currently running 44S.
The issue is:
I charge it fully with the original wall charger.
Unplug and then star using the phone.
The battery remains on 100% for longer than usual.
Then it starts coming down.
When the battery gets around to 30%, the phone switches off.
I plug it and there is the message that the battery is too low and that I should charge it a bit before turning the phone on.
This then repeats itself after I charge.
My observation is that the battery remaining info is not correctly calibrated and that 30% should actually be 0%.
The battery life is normal. It just doesn't give me the correct info on battery remaining.
Anyone else have this issue?
Ideas on how to fix it?
Cheers!

how many charge cycles you been through? let it fully drain and then charge too 100% without stopping a few time. also, there are a few battery drain/calibrator apps to help you in the play store
Since yesterday, when the phone battery reaches 15%, the phone shutsdown. When I plug the phone in the charger, the "Battery Low" Message is displayed in Chinese but the phone does not start immediately. After remaining on charger for 5 mins or so, I can start the phone. When the phone is started, I see around 16-18% battery.
I have noticed today that its taking too long to charge and the battery dropped from 15% to 5% in 2-3 minutes.
Miscalibrated battery perhaps?

How to calibrate OPO battery to fix this issue ?
Root your phone and use the app BatteryCalibration.
