Your Device is not Faulty! See How Your Smartphone Quick Charge Technology Works

Yes I have heard so many complaints about smartphones with in-built quick charge technology not charging fast after the battery gets to certain charge percentage level.

These days we know that technology is advancing at astronomical rate and many phone OEM are now adopting and making phones with quick charge 2.0 technology that allows a used up phone battery to charge up as fast as possible.

As I earlier said, some complain that when charging their phones that are built with quick charge technology, that it always stop charging fast when the battery level get to certain percentage, and thus they fear that their device quick charge technology is faulty or that they have mistakenly gotten themselves faulty devices entirely.

In order to clear up such misconception, we saw the need to explain better how charging phones with in-built quick charge technology works.

Before we continue, let us categorically tell you that such experience, about your phone with quick-charge ceasing to continue fast charging as certain battery level is a normal occurrence and that is how it was occasioned to be by the device OEM.

Now what happen is this; you will notice that the fast charging often stops when the battery is almost full or say at 60% battery level.

In as much as the quick charge technology is in-built in such devices; remember that we are still dealing with batteries here.

In order to protect the battery at different charge levels because of the way batteries can behave, the inbuilt quick charge technologies automatically regulates itself by stopping at designated battery percentage charge level , so as to then allow the battery charge up normally.

This is so, because, when your phone battery is almost used up (flat), and you start charging it, at those points, it has the propensity to take in more energy without the battery being affected than when it is almost getting full.

Therefore, the quick-charge is always built in such a way that it will fire up your battery by allowing more energy to penetrate at those battery safe levels before it will eventually stop at the point when the battery becomes saturated with high energy.

If for instance, the technology was designed to fire up your phone battery at fast charge rate from empty to full, it will end up getting the battery over worked and thus reducing the battery normal lifespan.

So those are the reasons why you will notice smartphones OEM, when it comes to advertising of or giving information about their devices with the in-built quick technology, you will see something like “…get up to 60% battery level in 30min of charge” but you will never hear them say something like “get full charge from flat battery in 30mini or even 1hr”.
