    Hi, I have a query. I bought my One Plus 5T on Jan 26th. I want to know how much time it takes to reach 100% charge. I have gone through few forums, websites and they said it would take Max of 77 minutes to reach 100%. But my mobile is taking 87 minutes to reach 100%. Is it normal?

    In the first one hour, the phone is reaching 93% charge without fail. The rest 7% usually takes 20-25 minutes. But few people are saying that their mobile is reaching 100% in just 37 minutes..!!! This is scaring me like hell :(

    Initially (for 2-3 days) I used to turn on "Battery saving mode" continuously after unplugging my charger. Later came to know that it is not advisable to keep under that mode continuously.

    Is it necessary/good to charge the device till 100% every time? I usually charge my mobile when it reaches 15% and charge it till 100%.

    I have updated my mobile with latest OS version 5.0.4. now. Just want to know whether is there any problem with my device or nothing to worry about?

    A difference of 10 minutes is pretty negligible, I think.
    0-93%, like you said, is going to be faster than 93-100%, as the dash charger actually decreases its current at about that time.
    I wouldn't worry about it. It seems to be functioning OK.
    Besides, it's best to not charge to 100%, it keeps your battery healthy longer.

    it depends on which app running while charging like WhatsApp, Facebook or etc.

    for me it take like 1 Hour 29 to 35 min approx.

    so it still charges faster than other device

    Thats pretty normal. But DO NOT charge till 100% every time as it decreases the battery life drastically, best is to charge when battery reaches 45% & charge till 65% to keep the battery healthy. Only charge till 100% once in a while like in 15-20 days.

    I don't know about drastically... but it does have an effect.
    Ideally, yes, you're right. 45-65% is really easy on the battery, but really cumbersome and annoying in practice.
    I do 15-90%. It's not nearly as healthy, but it's still way better than 100% and it's very doable for me.

    Yes you are right that for most of the people it is not practical to keep plugging in the charger every time it reaches 45% but i said this just to give everyone an idea that only short bursts of charge is needed to keep the battery healthy. And charging only once in a while to 100% keeps the battery stats calibrated.
