While charging, battery capacity percent gradually increases. But when is reaches to about 76%, it increase to 100% all of a sudden. Does this mean that I have to replace my battery?

Is there a software that control how your battery will be charged?
I know there is a tweak that allow your device to connect to your phone and sync without charging it.
However, I'm looking for a program that will let my battery drain till like 2% before it start charging. The reason I want this to happen is because it'll improve the performance of my battery. It's always good to drain out the battery before fully charge it again.
I don't know about any app that will do that for you, but no charging while syncing can be done in the settings:
settings/system/energy -> Don't charge while conected to PC
Interresting?
You said you want to discharge your battery to almost 2%
Mayby interesting to read the story about Li-ion batteries.

They say that's it isn't always good to discharge the Li-Ion battery totally.
besides:
Low Maintenance - no periodic discharge is needed; there is no memory.
Good Luck,

That's interesting
Thanks
this is totally wrong
you drain the ni/cd batteries for better performance not the cellularphones.
you drain the cellularphones battery ,potentially kill some battery cells.
drain it to 2% more than 15 times kills half of it capacity and/or age.
Will the battery develop a 'memory' if you recharge before being nearly depleted which would lessen battery capacity?
Can the NC be left plugged in 24/7 without damaging or lessening battery life?
Similar to a mechanical device that wears out faster with heavy use, so also does the depth of discharge (DoD) determine the cycle count. The smaller the depth of discharge, the longer the battery will last. If at all possible, avoid frequent full discharges and charge more often between uses. Partial discharge on Li -ion is fine; there is no memory and the battery does not need periodic full discharge cycles other than to calibrate the fuel gauge on a smart battery.
Hi, our bafteries should have 3,8V. Battery monitor shows my battery has 3,804V, sometimes 3,9V. My battery drain is about 30% per hour. When I'm writing this post, my battery lost 6%. I think the voltage is the problem. This is battery issue, hardware issue or maybe this is normal ? I'm using newest NamelessROM. Thanks for the answers.
When my battery is getting low, I've started to notice recently that it never falls below 4%. Instead of counting down to 1% and shutting off, it just shoots down to 0% and immediately starts the "Power Off" screen. Is this normal? Anyone else's Nexus 6 do this?
I've seen the post about the Nexus 6 that would shut off at 73% consistently and I guess this could be related to a bad battery or calibration, but I was just curious.

I've only ran it down that far once and yes, it shut down at 3%
@j.bruha I assume you know this, but just in case - Li-Po batteries don't really do well with extremely low charge levels. Try to avoid depleting the battery charge level to anywhere close to 0. Most folks recommend keeping the battery level at 30% or higher for longer overall battery life (not the time that your battery lasts from charge to charge, but the number of months/years before you will need to replace the battery itself)
Mine goes all the way down to 1 % and shuts down. I can still use phone when it shows me 2% left. Never seen it shut down at 4%. Discharge battery and fully charge it, Sometimes it does help. good luck.

I think there's a lot of over thought about caring for batteries. I think the best advice is to charge it as it needs charging.
Li-Po batteries don't do well at extremely low charge levels. That's an understatement. They become physically volatile and very actually dangerous to use. This is why when you deplete your battery from 100% to 0%, you're actually discharging from 100% to something like 20%. The battery chip does not let the battery deplete fully and is calibrated to report that 20% as 0%. There really shouldn't be any harm letting the phone shut down at "0" because it isn't 0.
My phone shuts down at ~1% sometimes 2%. It has shut down at 3 once but it depends. I usually don't run my phone down that low, but if I do I expect it to turn off at some point. I would see if you can have it repeat the behavior so you know whether or not its a bug.
EDIT: What is your Battery health stats as seen within AccuBattery?
uhm what?

exactly :d probably he forgot to insert some screenshots
WITHIN ACCUBATTERY APPLICATION THERE IS A HEALTH TAB WHICH SHOWS YOUR BATTERY HEALTH STATS, I kept getting an error when I tried to upload an image, sorry.
battery health
mmm in accubattery it shows its 94 % but in phone info it shows its 100 % my is brand new i got it like 4 days ago it doesnt make sence that the battery capacity has decreased by 6 %
On the devices with a battery (like notebooks, tablets and phones) the OS usually increases the shown battery wear and this decreases the shown battery health. And because of that, phone thinks the maximum battery capacity is now lower than the designed (factory) battery capacity.
This means, when the designed battery capacity is 5000mAh, it shows 100% when its 5000mAh. But when it decreases to 4950mAh, its 100% at 4950 mAh. This protects the battery from charging fully. And finally, the battery lasts longer before you need to change it. So, 94%, 96% or 90% is quite normal and you do not need to worry.

How about fast-charging the battery, in which the A70 supports. Would that be causing an issue for the health of the battery?

I am sure they wouldn't add this feature if it would cause any issue for the health of the battery. Even if it does hurt, it probably won't be noticeable.
