Hi,

I decided to try to charge my battery when it's at around 20% and charge it until it's around 80%. I've read that it's best for a li-ion battery to do it this way, so it could theoretically last up to 1,500 cycles.

I've noticed something strange when doing this (I only did it twice so far). I charge it to about 80%, then get it off the USB plug, and let there on sleep. A couple of hours later, when going back to read, last time I saw battery back to 64% (16% lost with no reason) and today it was back to 54% (26% lost!).

I wonder what could explain such a situation and if I am doing anything bad.

Thanks!
