inconsistent charging current
My 2A charger puts through 1A, my 2A charging port of my USB hub does 500mA but sometimes more (did not measure but it was like fully charged within 30min from 30% once or twice)
So how much can it actually do? Do others have measurements with different chargers? (I used readings from the internal csd tool)
check the comment that I posted about charging of Li-Ion batteries.

Any kind of battery is easy to charge back to SOC 80%, but remaining 20% will take more time unless you are able to increase the charging voltage i.e. boost charging. Unfortunately that is seldomly possible with chargers we have available.
What was surprising to me is that avoiding the fullcharge seem to have big impact to the battery lifetime together with full discharge/charge cycles, which has been my operating mode until now.
Hopefully Jolla team will create those configurable charging level alarms for discharging and charging.
perhaps cycle count infirmation would be good for the users as well...
