'How could the rate of depletion be increasing over the first 5 hours while the rate of current draw is relatively steady? And why does the projected battery line separate from the reported levels, but then exactly mirror the later rises and falls?'

because the battery uses lithium ions rather than lithium eons - it causes a ratio to exist because the fact that it is an ion categorizes it as something that isn't meant to be out of it's sterile home environment.

every contact is corrosive & because the ratio exists, it isn't linear but instead logarithmic.

such is, it also holds true about the battery being plugged in & those points of corrosion being healed by the charging & that is how the battery can mirror 'the later rises and falls'.

because you see, if there's corrosion inside - it can be reactive enough allowing all of the particles to move around with an adjustment until the corrosion is either shoved to a corner furthest from the inlet , shoved to the corner closest to the inlet & healed .. or whatever corrosion is seen while charging gets repaired as if using a system scan to replace damaged operating system files (but only the programs not in use can be accessed).

the whole updating battery technology will serve as true about all that corrosion making it's way to a corner to be healed & showing a 100% completion for process one , but then needing the charger to switch from rotating the corrosion into place onto repairing the corrosion itself.

people who enjoy spreadsheets will be quick-served about how there's a process of adaptability & adopt-ability .. because if the person needs to use the battery sooner rather than later - the phone might be entirely unusable if there's enough corrosion that needs to be healed. - might as well say the circuit traces leading into the battery are broken & a train that is expected to roll on tracks just doesn't have any tracks to roll along on & there isn't any rolling it along something else (saving that for the future generation of batteries after this one).

and then after that, the power to draw in healing while drawing out to find what needs healed at the same time.

because once that one is known forwards & backwards (basically happening twice), then it can be shut & closed as though a period.

because then from there, the phones can run on the electricity coming from electrical cords in the walls or power lines on the sides of roads or signals from cell towers or other wireless devices (think of the wireless chargers, but with a whole landscape of spreaded use - comparable to a color television screen where rather than all the colors necessary in the air, it can run off of just one needed component such as luma (or the color of white light for example) to get the whole assembled ball rolling.

(then we'd need batteries 'just in case' the outside source of power went out or needed a repair)

alkaline batteries didn't have the ability to plug them in & repair the memory affect .. at least not on the consumer level & the professional level needed extremely strict guidelines or 0.000000(whatever number) off is all it took to go from a normal working battery to one that needs tossed out because it can infect any other battery it comes into contact with while not performing 100% (and the farther from 100% = the worst the virus spreading from one battery to the next).

the real only point of arguing is which level are we at here & today right there with our hands on it .. otherwise the walking dead returns with a new season this month on october 23rd.

(how does the battery & charger rotate the particles you ask? magnetically is all - easy because it was engineered to do it & works the same way as some complicated scene of walls moving such as in harry potter times with labyrinths & scenes of people walking on stairs that are upside down on the ceiling - either the phone, the battery, the charger, or a combination of all three hold what the battery is supposed to be magnetically & will ruthlessly & brutally go for the battery the same way magnetically each time until one of the pieces in the equation changes & then things grow either worse or improved (or you found the same thing in another product))

as far as bump charging goes - it's simple .. if the way lithium ion works is reliant on contact with the charger to keep the corrosion inside low to continually allow the rotation of particles in order for the healing to happen, then tapping the charger back on each time the phone drops to any number lower than 100% is going to accelerate the needing to buy a new battery sooner rather than later.

because there's the 80% margin that is a vital number to lithium ion batteries (as has been said in battery care guides|articles), touching base with that percentage only magnifies the problem of the corrosion.

so turning the charger on at say 90% is well enough away from 80% .. but also not near 99% causing excessive contact of the ions lowering the longevity of the battery (because of corrosion probability that goes beyond the scope|reach|capability of a consumer charger) .. easily makes sense why the battery isn't totally at 100% when you take the phone off the charger & the percentage drops fast at first.

& it needs to be said, because otherwise there's somebody in there keeping the rate of battery usage linear with the graph & potentially getting illicit work done without the knowledge of the phone user.

it really isn't about battery 'charge' more than it is about battery 'condition' - as they are two separate values that are both necessary.

see, you can have a battery that is 98% charged, but it's condition is at a point where that is literally the last charge ever for the battery.

or mix it up some with the battery being not charged any, but the condition of the battery has room for an opportunity to be charged 1,000 times in the future.

those guides tell you to do a full charge only once a month & that means only bump charge it once a month.

(if you are a speed racer - try bump charging after every battery drain that goes to 0% & see if that ion finally kicks in for it's intended lack of memory affect or if all that did is cause the battery to refuse to hold a charge faster - because it is either one or the other ; unless you are using an ion twice & then the battery won't be any good for some off the wall (or shelf) refurbisher to help the battery (or did two circuit boards with an interface cable become one to once again be 'off the wall' & trumped my words? lol)
