    as i unplugged my pip today, before charge completion, and having 15. 3 estimate vs 15.7 when full, it made me wonder, why does it slow down so much at the end, if it's only charging to 80% or so?

    It wants to be gentle to the battery when it's all over. :p

    cause the battery likes it that way.

    I wonder what will happen when the a/c get turned on during that phase.
