Help battery drops directly after loading to 99%

Are you waiting until the phone tells you to disconnect the charger, or are you disconnecting it the minute it hits 100%? There's a little difference (hysteresis) between the "100%" point nd the "fully charged" point, sue to the way charge is measured. (The phone can't do a chemical analysis on the battery to see when it's done converting electricity to chemical energy, which is the "full charge" point. If he measurement has just reached "100%", it will drop enough in a fre seconds to read 99%. (There are only 2 digits, and most phones truncate, so 99.99% will show as 99%.)

If it bother you, wait until the phone tells you to remove the charger, and stop worrying about the 3 seconds of use you lose by disconnecting the charger. We're talking about a really trivially small amount of charge.
