When my Nexus 6 shuts down at 25%, I can turn it back on, and it still shows 23% after that. And it does seem to be temperature dependent. So I think it has to do with battery monitoring.
- digi_owl 10y agoQuite likely. My understanding is that battery capacity is measured based on the voltage drops as the mah runs low. Thing is that temperature affects resistance and thus observed voltage (digital thermometer work on this principle, afaik). Could be that Google has set the cutoff a bit high, and momentary chills result in a too early shutdown (possibly to avoid data loss or some such).
- azernik 10y agoMore likely to avoid battery damage - undervoltage can cause permanent damage to both cathode and anode (from another thread here - http://www.mpoweruk.com/lithium_failures.htm http://www.mpoweruk.com/lithium_failures.htm)
